What do all knitters have in common? We love to knit!
We love knitting, crochet and some of us quilting. We love to get our yarn and knitting needles or crochet hooks out and whip up a cable knit sweater, gloves or a cap. Lots of us love to go to knitting classes or go searching for knitting patterns at garage or flea sales.
Me? I love to crochet flowers. I have them all over my bedroom, bathroom and even up the stairs. I also love to collect old knitting magazines stuffed with knitting and crochet patterns. Nothing thrills me more than to find a really old crochet pattern full of crochet or knitting stitches.
Why WYIF? With Yarn In Front.

im making a scarf for my nephew, im having two knit pockets on the end with totoro on it, but i wanted to make it faster with crochet, but does knit look better? should i use a bigger needle and use two strands of yarn and knit, that will take faster right??
I went to Hobby Lobby today and seen new yarn for crocheting and knitting (new to me). It is nylon and corded. It was very pretty and I would like to know does any one know what can be made with this Yarn ( crochet) I looked for books in the store but did not find any featuring this yarn. Does any one out there know what can be made of this yarn and where can I find a book or patterns on the technique's used to crochet with this yarn. It looks like it might make a nice crochet purse or belts , again Patterns?
I'm looking for an easy way to make flat hearts out of yarn that I can then use a yarn needle to sew onto a knitted hat. I've already done one where I used the yarn needle to make the shape of the heart: http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll252/JulieDavon/030.jpg As you can see, there is still red visible through the heart. It took a long time and towards the end of the process it was difficult to get my yarn needle to go through all the layers of yarn. So, does anyone know a way for me to make a heart out of yarn separately so that I may then sew the heart onto the hat with the yarn needle? Also, I don't have crochet needles so I can't crochet the heart. I knitted the hats on a Knifty Knitter loom. Thank you very much for your imput =]
I saw a scarf in a store that looked like strands of different weight (bulky & fuzzy) yarns. Then just knotted every so often with beads added every so often. Didn't look knitted or crocheted - just strands of different yarns knotted together. Has any one seen this and has instructions or a pattern??
I was trying to spin some yarn, but I messed up, and now it's all clumpy and knotted. I can't crochet or knit anything out of it, because it's SOO messy!!! I don't know what kind of crafts I could do with it, because it's so messy...I know I'll DEFINITELY not throw it away, but maybe a scarf?? Any ieas would be great. THANKS SO MUCH!!
