Easter eggs are a cute, fun and quick project to do with the kids. The knitting part is not really for the true beginner but decorating the eggs is for everyone. Best of all you won’t have a big mess. Also consider an Easter tree or wreath. This is another great way to use all that extra scrap yarn you have around the house.
The supply list and a step by step video tutorial is below.
YO K2tog is for short hand for yarn over, knit two together. You will find it on many lacy patterns including some of my own.
It may sound intimidating but it is actually very easy. Let me show you the technique using pictures, words and of course, a video tutorial.
Tiny Chicks on a small 24-peg round loom are super cute. They are a perfect gift for spring, Easter, baby showers or your favorite little cat. I am in love with the bunch of cuties in the feature picture.
This is labeled as a project for advanced beginners because of the cast-off but you do have the option to change that cast-off.
So this is a really short post because it’s all about the video.

A brimless hat on a large gauge knitting loom is possible. Paul asked if it we could make one that doesn’t roll. The answer is yes and below is the pattern video for the hat. Several of my Patreon patrons were making hats using the waffle stitch from the pom pom scarf pattern so I thought I would too.
Below is the step by step video tutorial for the Men’s Waffle Stitch Hat and Cowl pattern. It may look complex but it’s very easy. Just watch the video completely before starting the project.
What a great way to dress up any bottle from wine to lemonade to bubble bath or in my case some delicious homemade Kombucha. That was the point in designing this pattern, for gift giving.
Personally I am a sucker for homemade gifts. They happen to be my favorites. Maybe it’s because I love to make things by hand.
I love the seed stitch baby hat. It has great texture. The stitch is a type of rib stitch and so the hat has a lot of stretch. This works well when you making a gift and are not sure of the exact size.
The hat is brimless because I don’t like brims on newborns. Also, the picture shows a hat with a button, I don’t put buttons on a newborn hat. This is just for the pictures.
The written pattern is available in my Etsy store but the video goes through every step and you should be able to make this hat just by watching it. As always I recommend watching it completely before starting the project.
Tube socks are the best pattern for folks that really don’t like knitting a heel or a toe. But why stop there, let me tell you what else is great. You don’t have to knit a folded cuff, no specialty loom and no need to worry so much about the recipients shoe size. There are so many reasons why I just love this pattern. The fact that is looks so good makes it even better.
The combination of different knit stitches give the fabric a really cool, textured stitch. I believe this is going to be a favorite for lots of loom knitters, especially beginners.
I’m super excited about this project. I made five different dolls before I was happy with this one. I hope you all will fall in love with my little ballerinas. I’m sure that like me, you had one at home too.
The project is a bit complex and so I had to create two separate videos. Please return for part 2. The written pattern is for purchase because we have to keep the lights on at home and every little bit helps. I do make the video as comprehensive as possible for those that can not afford the pattern to be able to make this project that I love so much.

Part 2: Ballerina Dress Up
My last post was for a Santa Hat. In the video I promised to give you guys the pattern for the knitted pom-pom. I have to keep my promises so below is the pattern. I have also included the ball and ornament.
Hope you guys like them.
Every year someone will ask for a Santa hat pattern. This year I decided I would do an adult version. I hope you guys will like the textured brim and the knitted pom-pom. Both are a bit different but I think they make the hat a fun design. This video is only for the hat but the knitted pom-pom video should be available shortly. The written pattern does include both the hat and the pom-pom.
The step by step video link for the hat pattern is below. Please feel free to share your questions, comments or suggestions. All of them are greatly appreciated.
A wire spiral is very useful for several craft projects. I like to use them as card holders for seating arrangements. You can also put short announcements, reminders and even a quick list. They can also hold your post it notes off your computer screen. For that I might need 12 bakers dozen. Not to worry, because they are quick and easy to make. Now all you have to do is make the base and for that I have a cute idea below.
This short video shows how to make wire spirals with supplies you probably already have at home. No special tools are necessary. ( Read More )…
I wanted to design a warm braided headband that would look cool and stylish. This project takes very little yarn, and can be done in just a few hours. I did a second headband in a light pink which my daughter loves. I can’t wait to see all the colors you guys will use. I’m considering some happy bright colors for the next one. Some Caron Simply Soft in jewel tones would be beautiful.
Below is the step by step video tutorial for the pattern.
Just Wanted to take a few minutes to say thank you. So many of you have been like food for my soul. I’m taking this special time of the year to let you know how I feel.
