Welcome to The Knitting Broomstick video podcast and blog! Tuesday, October 14, 2014. Claire Beauchamp's Herbal Gauntlets (Outlander Inspired). Like most of the world right now, I have Outlander fever. And I'm sure its abundantly apparent at this point that my crafting life tends to reflect my fandom life. I love to create things associated with the fandoms I love! I really don't know what I find more distracting: Jamie in his kilt, or Claire's gorgeous knit gauntlets, capelets, shawls, and cowls? And la...

Welcome to The Knitting Broomstick video podcast and blog! Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Episode 1: Hello, My Name Is. What? Welcome to my new adventure! I've been wanting to do a podcast for awhile now, and I decided to just stop talking about it and thinking about it and actually DO it. I tend to learn as I go and learn by doing (kind of how I got into knitting, come to think of it! So I figured the best way was to just shut up and do it! I am SO excited about this! Maybe we'll save that for episode 2, and ...

Just For Fun: August 2014
http://justforfun2291.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Just For Fun is my way of sharing all the little things I like to do. from crafty things to thoughtful things! Thursday, August 21, 2014. Random Act of Art! Have you ever heard of a yarn bomb. It is an amazing way for yarn crafters to make people smile in a colorful, creative, artful way. Some of them are really amazing. like the octopus tree or the lacey chain link fence or the mystery knitter at the London Olympics. These aren't just crafts though. this is art! As people pass this way, they might see a...

Just For Fun: Line those bags! Part Deux
http://justforfun2291.blogspot.com/2012/05/line-those-bags-part-deux.html
Just For Fun is my way of sharing all the little things I like to do. from crafty things to thoughtful things! Thursday, May 10, 2012. After my first post about lining. I had a few questions about lining bags with flat round bottoms. like this drawstring bag. So here we go with how to line it! It is faster to have a sewing machine to do the seams (nothing fancy, I promise), but it is not necessary – just substitute hand stitching where I reference the machine. A bag: Any size. Cut a piece of fabric in an...

Just For Fun is my way of sharing all the little things I like to do. from crafty things to thoughtful things! Friday, April 10, 2015. Here Kitty, Kitty! Would you be surprised to know that these little kitties are crocheted using only single crochet? The shape comes from increasing or decreasing the number of stitches in a round. You can find Nekoyama's free pattern for these beauties HERE. My other reason for enjoying toy making? These babies are on their way to my friend Swati's house. Here's what we ...

http://justforfun2291.blogspot.com/2015/04/theres-pseudoscience-born-every-minute.html
Just For Fun is my way of sharing all the little things I like to do. from crafty things to thoughtful things! Friday, April 10, 2015. There's a pseudoscience born every minute. Because food is such an issue for me with celiac disease and a number of anaphylactic level food allergies, it really gets my dander up when fear mongers like the Food Babe and others get people riled up about things. That's saying a lot for a *mostly* logical person like me. Not sure what the current dander is all about? I thoug...

Just For Fun is my way of sharing all the little things I like to do. from crafty things to thoughtful things! Monday, September 19, 2011. Crochet basics - stitches. My one page reference for crochet stitches. If you have a question, let me know! I personally find I have more control holding my crochet hook like a pencil. Here's the difference between the 'pencil hold' and the 'knife hold':. Foundation row in back ridge of chain:. Single crochet increase (sc inc):. Single crochet decrease (sc dec):.
