I first discovered Red Heart Boutique Magical yarn at my first knit and crochet show in October of 2013. I was so in love that I bought 3 skeins of it then and there!
“Why?” you ask. Well, it’s name fits: it’s magical! I’ll let Red Heart explain what I mean
Hello! Welcome to the March Knit Link Love Party #7, hosted by Marie Segares and I. The links shared last month were full of lovely fall colors, we didn’t give a theme, but it seemed to happen anyway. It sure was pretty! I can’t wait to see what you all share with us this month. Remember, when you share a link in our link party, we also share it on Pinterest and sometimes on other social media. Plus, the 5 most clicked links get some extra love!
Be sure to share this link party with all your knitting friends so they can link up as well, and find new and fun knit projects around the web. Our link parties start on the first Thursday of the month, and end on the last Thursday of the month. Here are the 5 most clicked links from last month.
Happy National Crochet Month and National Craft Month!! This review seemed just perfect to start off the month, you’re going to love it!
This guide is awesome! Just open the cover and the front page gives an overview of how to use the guide.
The magic knot is a great join for yarns that are not too slippery. It’s a lot more sturdy then you might think, and it’s pretty simple. Once the magic knot is made, it’s usually simple enough to hide it within your work. However, there are times when it doesn’t work, so try it out first and see what you think. The magic knot does work for a color change, but it’s rather finicky to get exactly where you want it, so I tend to recommend it as a way to add on a new ball of yarn, or fix a knot in your yarn. Most of the time when you find a knot already in a ball of yarn, it is NOT sturdy enough to keep, so you have to cut it out and join the yarn in another manner. This is one option for that.
Did you know that according to the Craft Yarn Council, 6 out of every 10 knitters and crocheters crafted a project for charity in 2014? If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know how much I love and encourage crafting for charities.
So, I’m quite happy to tell you that Red Heart has teamed up with Red Cross North America (USA, Canada, & Mexico). Red Heart has a free blanket pattern just for this event, made to be perfect for donating to your local Red Cross.
The pattern is available in both Crochet and Knit, so either way, there is a version for you! There is also a matching pillow pattern in both knit and crochet, and a knit first aid kit. Red Heart is also
This pattern was so much fun to create. I’ve always been fascinated by mobius strips, and I prefer ear warmers that come in at the top, so mixing the two seemed only natural to me. This pattern is first worked in rows, then the long strip is joined into a mobius, and then it’s finished off in rounds. This pattern can be used to create ear warmers with nearly any weight yarn. I hope you enjoy creating these ear warmers as much as I did!

The wet felt join is a great join for a feltable yarn – such as most animal fibers. It’s best used when joining the same color, as when joining a new skein of the same color, or when there is a knot in your yarn that needs to be removed.
