The rainy day knitting aid!

What is the thing that goes best with Knitting and Crocheting?

CHOCOLATE!!!!  Especially on a rainy day like this one!  We have Organic Lavendar Chocolate by Pelindaba in White, Dark, and Milk.  Come in, pick up some yarn, needles, a cute pattern, and some of this terrific Chocolate by Pelindaba and you will be set for a day of knitting and relaxing.

Elya's Butterfly Poncho

Here is a little something I knit up for Elya.  The pattern will soon be available in sizes 2 years to 7 years. 

The Big Reveal!!!!

Pediboo and Silky Wool

OH NO! I BOUND OFF TOO TIGHT!

As I was blocking my square this morning, for the Aran Afghan, I noticed one end was too tight and would not block out to the full 12 inches.  Bummer.....

I went on line to see how I could have bound off differently so this wouldn't have happened.  I am going to share with you what I learned.  This is called the Knitted Lace Bind Off.

First you knit two stitches, with the left hand needle point capture the 2 stitches through the front of the right hand needle, then knit into the back of the stitch. 

If you need more clarification, please feel free to come in and ask me. 

 

 

Hope to see you this week-end for the LYS tour!
