Afternoon Wrap 

Create this gorgeous wrap by going back and forth on your Addi Express. I used Bernat Mosaic Yarns to create the amazing colour transitions. This pattern is really easy and you don't have to sit there for hours and hand knit a scarf, let Addi Express do the work!

2 Hour Project

Looking at the picture on the left of the wrap. The crank knitting was started on the bottom of photo and going upward. You will see new colours about the half away point. The new colouring is the Bernat Fantasy Colour. I then added on a second ball of Bernat Mosaic Ninja for the final 1/4 of the wrap and used that same ball to double crochet all the way around the wrap. 

Instructions:

  1. Using only 42 Hooks, stopper will be needed for this. Stopper between 44 & 45 Hooks. 
  2. Set the Addi Express LEVER on side to Plain Knitting. 
  3. Cast on with Bernat Mosaic Ninja. Crank knit back and forth for the entire skein.
  4. Tie on Bernat Mosaic Fantasy and crank knit approximately up to 1/2 of the ball. Cut String and tie on Bernat Mosaic Ninja (second ball). 
  5. Crank the final Ninja ball about 1/2 way down. 
  6. Bind off. 
  7. Using Crochet Hook, Double Crochet into the stitches all the way around the wrap. 
  8. Fasten off and weave in the tails. 
Enjoy your new wrap.

All New Crochet Crowd Website

May 7th, The Crochet Crowd Newsletter with MikeyFinally, The Crochet Crowd leaps forward in technology as Mikey and Diva Dan buckled into their seats to bring a whole new website for crochet crowders. You are obviously on our website now but it wasn't always looking so fabulous. We decided to bring forth a 'Pinterest' feel to our organization and much more. 

We have brought forth a new Challenge Control Central where our challenges now have all of the information you need when it comes to following along.

Finally, I picked some patterns to share with you. I also featured a Circular Motif Shawl that I am currently working on right now. You can get the free pattern and some of my thoughts on that in this edition.

Dying Yarn with Kool-Aid

April-16th-2013I ran into a local knitter who I would describe as inspirational, eccentric and educational. I noticed she was wearing a really unique coloured knitted scarf. The colour was vibrant and unlike the colours, shades and dye job I have seen on store shelves. Read more on how it was done.

In this edition are finishing up the Spring Fling Pillow Challenge. There was 640 entries by the time this challenge was finished.

The pre-announcement for the very first Crochet Cruise was also announced. Not to forget, many free patterns were shared in this edition.

Have a great week and see you on Facebook in the meantime.
