Here’a a quick favorite recipe of ours that offers almost instant gratification. They are called No Bakes and are from my mother-in-law, Kriss. (The master baker/cooker of the family.) This is a fun recipe to have the young ones help out with, especially at the end. Hope you like as much as we do. (Recipe below the video.)
Hi everyone! I’m back to life after last weeks debacle. This is our last session on knitting as I show you how to purl and how to cast off. I hope that for those of you needing a nudge to pick up knitting, that this took some of the scare out of it. As you work through a project you will probably need to check back at the videos and use other resources out there. If you google “knit stitch” or “purl stitch” you will come up with oodles of help. Plus, most knitting books have some sort of instructional section that you may find helpful. Hop on over to your local knitting shop and ask for a beginner pattern…or…find a pattern online.
–Do you like the toilet paper in the background?! I’m too cheap to buy Kleenex when T.P. works just as good. (My poor mother will never understand this behavior.)
My apologies on not having a Movie Monday up today. Our camera was at the repair shop and I ditched town in the meantime. I am spending time with my family and enjoying every moment of it. I hope you all have a lovely Thanksgiving holiday full of people you love and scrumptious food in your belly. Blessings to you all!
I can’t believe I made you a wait a whole week to learn more about knitting! Actually I wanted to make the knit stitch video on Wednesday last week, but Tony said there was no such thing as a “Movie Wednesday.” Party pooper. So here, FINALLY, is part 2 in our 3 part series on knitting. Knit on fellow creatives!
*our video camera is currently being repaired so we had to use a subpar camera. Sorry about the poor focus quality.
*there are a few different methods to knitting. I use the Continental Method.
If you are really interested in knitting, you seriously have to get on Ravelry. It’s free and all you need to do is create an account and then start goofing around until you figure it out.
I know I know. I am supposed to be designing quilt patterns, but I just have knitting on the brain. I’m not even willing to apologize for it! I love knitting. I have lots of people tell me they would love to learn to knit but haven’t taken the time to figure it out. Here’s your chance. In this video I show you the very first step to knitting–casting on. I will soon teach you how to do the knit stitch and the purl stitch, but this is where you have to start.
