My Creative Mending class is my favorite class to teach. Students bring in clothing in various states of disrepair and we find creative ways to fix the problem. Beth brought in this mohair sweater that had multiple moth holes. The pencils are pointing out two holes. I found some mohair woven fabric that coordinated nicely. The class collaborated and we […]

Monsters make great house guests and even better gifts. They are fun to knit and are very customizable. Make yours unique by adding three arms or four legs. Special buttons can give your creatures distinctive facial expressions. Ribbons or lace give them unique personalities.
Want to make a special present for that beloved furball in your life? While this cat bed won’t guarantee your cat will stop napping on your computer (mine hasn’t) it will give your cat a special place to sleep all her own.
Want to knit like a Viking? Nalebinding, also called Nalbinding or Viking knitting, is a fiber technique that predates both knitting and crochet. The Vikings also used nalebinding to create textiles and now you can too.
Invited to a party and need a gift? A crochet gift bowl is a quick project that leaves an impression. Make one in a pastel color and fill it with baby socks and pacifiers for a baby shower. Make one in a cotton yarn and fill with washcloths, fancy soap and hand lotion for a housewarming party.
