Hilde's Corner

How are you all doing with holiday gifts? Still need a few to knock out quick-like? I found these cute gifts that I think could work up fast. For the book lovers on your list, I think these cute crocheted chicken bookmarks are hilarious! Crochet Colorful Chicken Bookmark by PurrCraftedDesign . The pattern sells for $4.95 on Ravelry and calls for a sport weight cotton. The shop sells a DK cotton that would also work beautifully for these cuties - Ricorumi Another bookmark pattern is Leaf Bookmark & Garland Motif by Joey Diehl . This pattern is FREE and calls for Worsted weight yarn, so Uptown Worsted would be perfect for this. How about a sweet pocket friend for a child? This one is super basic, called Worry Pet by Blue Fox Paws and is a FREE pattern and uses any gauge yarn! It would be fun to use a textured yarn, or a fuzzy kind, but any yarn works. You can opt to put the ears on or not. We have safety eyes in the shop, too! Do you know someone who uses Airpods and could use a co...

Free Pattern Friday

I fell in love with this free pattern from Universal AND we just got in a new shipment of Major!! What great timing!! You can find the free pattern here:  https://lys.universalyarn.com/pattern.php?pattern=2965&utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email&_kx=cTuN4yMyLgTSYQrsNMFLj8Q03NKaVsgZ9yMoGZUC53Y.XFk6i3 And ya....I just had to make it...with a couple tweaks! I did only 7.5 inches instead of the 15 inches it called for in the cowl. I wanted to make it all with just 1 ball. If you want to do it as written, you will for sure need 2 balls!!

Hilde's Corner - Embroidery

I recently watched the podcast Fruity Knitting, episode 151 , where they interviewed Judit Gummlich who adds embroidery to her work and I immediately found my ears perking up. I have done needlework in the past, but never really thought of doing it on my knitting! Her sweaters and cardigans were absolutely beautiful and now I’m a little obsessed with wanting to try this myself. I have been looking for some patterns for inspiration, though once one really gets going, I imagine you can pop embroidery onto anything you want. You would need to learn how to add embroidery properly, using a hoop and stabilizers etc, but once one learns that, wow - you are limitless in what you can do. How sweet is this little romper for baby? Toadstools Embroidered Romper by Julie Taylor sells for about $5 on Ravelry. It uses DK yarn for the romper so I think Jody Long’s Ciao would work nicely for this as it is a superwash yarn. The designer also has a matching bonnet, booties, and cardigan, all with cut...

Hilde's Corner

Have you ever wanted to try going “off-roading” with a pattern? Want to put your own spin on your own creation? I think the absolute easiest way to do this is by adding stripes. You can put stripes on anything, and stripes are so versatile! At first glance, adding stripes seems so basic, but when you stop and think about it, there are a lot of ways you can create with stripes! Adding basic stripes has a lot of combination possibilities. How will you place the colors? Will you intersperse each color with a main color? How wide will the stripes be? How wide will the background be between stripes? Will the stripes vary in width? Will there be stripes all over the project or just at an edge? We now carry Blue Sky Fibers Woolstok, and that includes Woolstok bundles of worsted weight minis. The Woolstok Bundles have 21 minis, 3 tiny skeins of each color, making it 7 colors all together. Each mini is 5g or 12 yds. Seeing the beautiful color pairings I knew I wanted to try it in something, but...
