Frankenscarf KAL

 


Did you see the stabby viral knitting video on TikTok? "Stab it, strangle it, scoop out its guts, throw it off a cliff."

Did it make you want to try your hand at knitting? Of course, it did! (Or maybe you are already a knitter and just found it hilarious, and you know you want to join in.)

To bring us all together and to help those new to knitting get started, I am hosting a Frankenscraf Knit-a-long (KAL for those of you new to knitter-speak.) We will be creating a choose-your-own adventure-type scarf using whatever supplies you want. Need some advice on supplies? You can see my Amazon suggestions here: Frankenscarf KAL Suggestions.

You can join the fun here, TikTok, or Ravelry.

Sign up for the free pattern and to get exclusive updates using the form on the right side of the webpage.

I will have a pattern for the scarf, but no need to use it! Throw it off a cliff for all I care, I just want everyone knitting!! And, of course, sharing their beautiful creations.

Look for me to be going LIVE on July 1st on TikTok. (Time TBD as there was a death in my family and I am not sure about when I will be able to go live just yet.)

Grab some needles and some yarn, and come hang out!

Radiant Raffia Giveaway

Radiant Raffia Giveaway Thank you, Bloomsbury! I was so excited the other day to open my email and find a lovely inquiry from Emily at Bloomsbury Publishers (@Bloomsburybooksus) asking if I would like an advanced copy of Radiant Raffia by Olga Panagopoulou . Of course, I jumped at the chance, but not before getting a special treat for YOU as well! But more on that in a second. This beautifully photographed book includes 20 Inspiring crochet projects made with natural yarn. Wait, crochet? Not knitting? Yep! Crochet! My original fiber art. When I was about 5 years old, my grandmother taught me crochet. She was an avid crocheter. Though she never wrote her own patterns, she could take any doily she found and recreate it without a pattern. She taught my mom, who made all the blankets we had in our house and many I now have in mine. Then, my grandmother taught me. As my grandmother was one of my all time favorite people, her favorite hobby, crocheting, is very dear to my heart and reminds ...

How to Cast On in Knitting: A Guide to Two Popular Techniques

How to Cast On in Knitting: A Guide to Two Popular Techniques Introduction Whether you're new to knitting or have unraveled more sweaters than you'd care to admit, mastering the art of casting on is the first step to any knitting project. In this post, we're diving into two popular cast-on techniques: the classic long-tail cast on and the versatile knitted cast on.  Why both you may ask? Because if you have had to unravel and start over the long-tail cast on 583 times because your long tail wasn't long enough, you begin searching for an alternative! I've included links to my videos for each, so you'll be a cast-on wizard in no time. Ready to unravel the mysteries? Let's get started! Long-Tail Cast On Tutorial The long-tail cast on is a time-honored favorite. It's stretchy, neat, and all-around reliable. But let's be honest, estimating that long-tail length can feel like a guessing game straight out of Vegas. Here are the basic steps of this cast-on ...

So many ENDS!

Do you think through a project before you get started? Do you think about each step and the amount of time and effort those steps will take and whether or not you have that time or are even willing to put in that effort? Clearly, I am not one of those people who do those things, or I would not have picked not one, but TWO projects that had 5879 ends to weave in. But more on the second one in a minute. First up, the Frankenscarf that I designed and knit for the month of July. Before I complain too much about end-weaving, let me just say that I love this project and had a blast designing and knitting it. 5 out of 5 stars. However, it should come with a warning that the number of ends will grow rapidly. As it is designed for you to change yarn often, you will have two ends to weave it at each yarn change. For a scarf that ended up being 6 feet long, that equated to 2.5 hours of end-weaving. (Yes, I actually did time it.) If you are not familiar with how to change yarn in a project, I have...
