Patons Classic Wool Yarn - https://www.yarnspirations.com/collections/yarn/products/patons-classic-wool-worsted-yarn?variant=47070196760891

This link to Yarnspirations was the first hit when I did a search for Patons. I could not get to a manufacturer website for Patons. They are now owned by JP Coats, and that site did not have information about Patons, at least none that I found. Patons yarn is readily available at the US big box stores such and Michaels and Jo-Ann Fabrics. Classic Wool is a workhorse wool yarn at an affordable price.

Giveaway #1 winner – Delores Hunkler – Congratulations!

Episode 3 - Two Hats for the Holidays

Image
Episode 3 features two easy, quick-to-knit patterns that will be great for gift knitting, donation knitting, or just for keeping cozy! Something I forgot to mention - when sewing a seam on a project where the cuff is turned up, like the simple hat, it's easiest to start sewing the seam on the wrong side, from the crown down to the top of the cuff, then turn the hat inside out and finish sewing down to the bottom of the cuff. That way when you turn up the cuff, the cuff seam will not be visible.  These are the little dowels I was trying to find for the pompon demo. They are 2" by 3/8". Very handy - from the craft store.   Show Notes The Firebreak Trail Hat – Designed by Christina of Bluestockinette Designs - https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/firebreak-trail-hat Malabrigo Chunky Yarn - https://malabrigoyarn.com/yarns/chunky Yarnology, Winona, MN - https://yarnologymn.com/ Araucania Huasco Chunky Yarn - https://knittingfever.com/araucania/yarn/E-HUACKET Webs

Episode 1 - The Baby Sophisticate Sweater

Image
Welcome! I hope you enjoy this new venture - I could talk about knitting - and other creative interests, all day long, and this seemed like a good way to share my enthusiasm with others. Bear with me through the growing pains of learning the ins and outs of YouTube, and getting back into blogging a bit. YouTube may not let me have live links for a month or two, but that restriction is what led to this space, which makes me a bit happier anyway, being able to share still photos and extra blather here!
