Knitting Dragonflies

The Holidays are approaching and everyone is buzzing with activity. Here are a few knitting related links that have caught my interest. Learning to knit? KnitPicks has all kinds of video tutorials! A good variety of needles , if you need some. You can have tons of fun looking around at kpixie , yarn, patterns etc.. I like the selection of crochet kits they have. Maybe a good gift idea. Another online store the Loopyewe is fun, and Sheri has a great blog . Here are her free knitting patterns! Favorite mittens is a book on mittens, This book is a "best of" her previous two books with a revision in some instructions. Here is a nice freebie Knitting Daily's Crochet quick Gifts, free e book download. Always a good thing. Rowan books for any knitter, here is the Classic Winter knits Technorati Tags: Free knitting patterns links , various interesting knitting ideas

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.

I like this shop on Etsy. Storybeader , I was attracted by the name of the shop. She has a selection of original pieces that vary from extravagant to fun and useful. Some eye candy for your enjoyment. Horse head bookmark $10 Pirate Keyring $15 Jasper cabochon $27 Turtle Treasure Necklace $380 Enjoy! And may your needles fly as fast as dragonflies!!
