Jul 01, 2020 12:22 AM
Summer is all about happy times. On those hot summer days cool refreshing beverages, as wine, are essential! The cold delivered by the ice cubes will cause the drink to quickly lose its taste. Luckily, there is a trick that will cool your wine and keep it tasting just as great - it looks lovely, too. Use frozen grapes instead of ice to cool the wine or any other drink. They immediately cool down the drink without diluting the liquid. Just store a bunch of grapes in the freezer, and use them as your alterna...

Once you’ve mastered crochet shapes, the final part is to join your crochet shapes together! Fortunately there are different methods, using either a yarn needle or a crochet hook, and all of which have their own individual qualities. To join pieces of crochet, it’s often simplest to stitch them together, but you can also use a crochet hook as well. You’ll get the least visible seam using slip stitch to join pieces. Double crochet forms a ridge at the seam which can make a feature on the right side. When yo...

Sep 02, 2020 03:47 AM
The double crochet stitch is one of my favorite stitches to work! The motion of working up this stitch is so relaxing. The double crochet stitch is also one of the most popular stitches you can learn, as it is the base for puff stitches, clusters, shells, and many other stitches. The possibilities are endless. When you’re first starting out, I suggest choosing a medium weight yarn and a 5 mm crochet hook to learn this stitch. As for the previous time, I recommend using a lighter color on yarn, so the...

Hello, my dear knitters! Today I'd like to share with you a new knitting cast on technique - Provisional Cast On! It's a very useful cast on, and very simple to learn. A provisional cast on is a temporary cast on. It is worked so that the cast-on stitches can be removed later and the live stitches placed on a needle to be knit. The cast on is done with waste yarn — a smooth, slippery yarn, often in a contrasting color, that can be easily removed. It is a useful cast on for knitting hems and for edges...

Looking for a snappy new stitch to liven up your crochet? Crocodile stitch is a crochet stitch that looks like reptile scales, fish scales, or even bird feathers. Its unique texture comes from working a row of foundation double crochet stitches followed by double crochet stitches that form the scales. The stitches aren't difficult, but they are different because you work with your crochet turned in different directions. Once you make a few scales, it feels natural. This stitch's frilled look makes it ideal...

Hello, my dear knitters! Today I'd like to share with you a very nice Möbius Cast On. It only seems fitting to end the cast ons with a technique so unique it stands on its own. A Möbius is a half-twisted loop with only one edge. Many patterns have you knit a rectangle and twist it before sewing the ends or twist the cast-on edge deliberately before knitting. But they are faux Möbiuses and have a full twist in them. The glory and magic of a true Möbius is that it is knit from the center out and has but one ...
