*NEW Freebie! :) Felted Key Fobs~

Posted on February 12, 2008 by gettinitpegged

Felted Key Fob~Hey, all!  I came up with this idea out of sheer necessity…both my electronic car key fobs have broken from the rest of the ring and so we have to fumble around to find it when unlocking the car doors, and risk leaving it inside the locked car, and not be able to get back in without setting the alarm on…leave it to me to just that! 😉  After looking at every store I could think of for a device to hold it in place on the ring (I swear I saw one somewhere…)…the lightbulb flashed on above my head, and I said, “Eureka!  I will knit one!”  Everyone at the car parts store then looked my way a little nervously…he he he!

Felted Key Fob…backSo, I figured if I was madly searching all over town to solve this dilemma, then maybe some of you might be doing the same…or maybe you’d just like some fibery goodness dangling from your key chain.  🙂  It does sort of look like an egg…could be Easter decorations for your pocket!

So…*POP* on over to the Freebies page to download the newest pattern…Felted Key Fobs 🙂

Enjoy!

YO, Y2tog, SSK, YO~

Posted on February 9, 2008 by gettinitpegged

Hey, all!  For some time now, I’ve been wanting to highlight a couple of wonderful  tutorials by two very talented loom knitters:  Stephany McElheran, of Loomy Daze & Denise Layman of Knitting Without Needles.  🙂

 Stephany has a very informative video produced at this link about how to YO Y2tog, & SSK, YO.  Definitely something to put on your need to watch list!

But what purpose do these techniques have, you say?…

Well, pop on over to Denise’s post here.  She explains further what uses these seemingly mystifying techniques serve!  For knitters, and designers alike, these skills are great additions to add your knitting know-how.

And as a little by the by…you probably have seen the great to-do happening over at the Purling Sprite’s site…she’s providing wonderful video tutorials all about knitting cables!  If you haven’t checked them out…by all means!  Pop on over!   

Ladies…I’m sending a BIG thank you your way for taking the time to push our learning a little bit farther.  You’re all brilliant!  💡
