This and that…need some knit patterns for after the holidays?

sock money

Need some help finding patterns? Knitters Review gives us a lift of seven great little knitted items, hats, neck warmers and a cute little mouse.

From Knitty Winter of 06 it’s Norberta the Dragon by Kate Kuckro, and her blog SimplyCrafted.com

Kate also had her Toasty pocket creatures in Knitty winter 05, cute and quick

From Crafts on Toast a super cute Bender pattern! (from Futurama)

Who can’t use another HackySack? This is a knit pattern for them from Sharon at ShazzasPatterns blog. I have crocheted them before but never knitted.

From Cosmic pluto knits, here is a shawl pattern that only takes 350 yards / 320 m of fingering weight yarn, (you can use your handspun!) Reversible and fast and beautiful! It is the Milkweed Shawl. Destined to become a classic by anyone that knits it! She also has LOTS of other great patterns!

I love this The Thing Pattern, for your comic book or Fantastic Four fan, by Knittycat.vox. Please check her blog out.

From ChezPlum a sweet little lace purse. The Isabeau purse is a quick little knit, using a very easy lace pattern. It’s an ideal project to use up odds and ends, as you’ll need only one skein of yarn (approx.100-120 yds)+

Review of a Kick Spindles Or Mother Marion to spin

When I made the decision to buy a Kick spindle I could find very little info on it, anywhere. Below is what I gathered, bought and my experience with mine. I could only find two being marketed, since I purchased mine I have found a third. Below is my views on the Kick spindle I purchased (Little Meggie from Heavenly Handspinning), and some info on all of the other Kick Spindles that I could locate. Links and costs are included. Review: Things I like about my Kick Spindle. 1. Long spin time, I like the addition of the ball bearing. 2. Leaves both hands free to draft 3. It's my "wheel" 4. I like using my foot, I am moving around and don't get stiff from one position. It's a very "active" type, rhythmic motion. 5. You can actually stand and use it also. 6. Great price point. 7. I have never spun on a wheel and when I sat down at one the first time, I could actually spin (some) I think this action of foot/hand coordination helped. 8. ...

Fibonacci and Knitting

Some time ago I learned that Fibonacci can be applied to knitting. If you are not familiar with Fibonacci, he was a mathematician from the middle ages. He figured out the relationship of proportions, now known as the golden ratio (or number), Fibonacci sequence or 1.618 or Phi. This sequence is seen in practically everything. I’ll link to several articles if you wish to learn more. From reproducing animals, to sea shells and galaxies, the human form and sunflowers. (Mona Lisa, Parthenon, and the pyramids of Egypt, just to name a few). This ratio is present in many, many more surprising things. The first time I used this was in my felted bag. I loved the random look of it. This pattern is The Big  Bag Pattern (free on Ravelry) by Maia Discoe (link ) Below are a couple of links if you wish to learn more.. Fibonacci Numbers and Nature The Wiki and Fibonacci Mona Lisa -- Da Vinci's Use of Sacred Geometry (you tube link) In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers or Fibonacci...
