valerie from allthingskawaii has some great links that she sends out on her mailing list! there is always something new. :) join her list and check out :







learned how to make an i-cord with dpns. finished my nephew's hat this past weekend. it was a hat knitted flat on US 8 straight needles in stockinette stitch until 10" inches in length, seams were sewn up in the back until it formed a tube, then the top was bunched up like a paper bag, and tied up with an i-cord in some kind of topknot. it somewhat looks like the i-cord hat made by linda on planetshoup, except that the i-cord is separate from the body of the hat and the hat itself was stitched flat. i tied the i-cord tight around the top so a young child would not be able to slip the knot off the hat.



stitchguide.com is a very helpful site for new learners.



eventually, i would like to post a learning tutorial from my experiences as a new knitter for those who would like to learn, as well as some of my own patterns with pictures. :)



bleah, my embroidered coin purse is going to be redone. it was a first project gone bad. done in my first attempts in learning the garter stitch...will be done over in stockinette and have a garter stitch border.
