I am…really I am.

I must have gone blind or something since the last time I worked on a large piece though, cause this is killing me. lol

I created a ‘Wheel of the Year’ pattern with my PCStitch Pro and I’m doing it up on 28 cnt. Even Weave cloth.

I have to use a magnifying light just to see what I’m doing. lol *blush*

I’ll post pics when I get something of it done that actually LOOKS like something. lol

*hugz*

Okay…

I’ve been wracking my brain how to offer Free and custom cross stitch patterns off this site without having to reprogram the whole thing.  LOL

I found a solution that I think will work out pretty well.

Here is the last piece of the pattern.

Here is a how-to video that I made on how to do a basic KNIT stitch and an increase within a pattern.

Knitting and Increase

This video is part 2 of a series that I am doing to make a knitted dishcloth!

Enjoy!

I’m not normally one to spread stuff like this around, as most of it is spam, bunk or just a plain waste of time. This however DEMANDS the immediate attention of EVERY Canadian citizen with a voice to cry out!!

Please read this, do your due diligence/research and ACT before we all lose out big time.

An Important Notice Regarding Bill C-51

A new law being pushed in Canada by Big Pharma seeks to outlaw up to 70 percent of natural health products currently sold in Canada, even while criminalizing parents who give herbs or supplements to their children.

Here is a video that I posted to YouTube on how to ‘Cast On’

casting on knitting

I’ve been playing around with my new Cross Stitch Pattern Program and it’s pretty cool. J

I find that my greatest issue with my craft projects is that there are so many that I want to do and not enough time or energy in a day to get to them all. LOL

I’m almost finished up with the last of the ‘camping’ blankets I’m knitting for this summer. They’re basically double threaded blankets that I’m making for a camping trip that also has the advantage of using up some of my ‘stash’.

They are turning out quite nice and I’m looking forward to getting this last one done.
Once I get that done, I can get to work on some of the custom Cross Stitch patterns I want to do.

I’m looking around the net for a source of good cross stitch cloth. I dislike using Aida cloth. *sigh*

If anyone has any good sources, I’d be happy to check them out and share them if you’re interested. J

Happy Crafting!
