Stitchopedia Summer 2020 is my way to make sure you have a wonderful directory of tutorials to learn or increase your needle art skills. The Stitchopedia can be found in the menu at the top of this site. Over the summer I will be filling in gaps to make sure you can learn at least the basics of several needle arts.

It’s time for the Cozy Spirit CAL Part 1, and we are going to start our cozy scarf with a bonus feature to keep you extra warm on cold game nights. The bonus feature doesn’t happen until week 3, and you’re going to love it. This week we will make half the scarf. Don’t be an overachiever, the second half isn’t the same, so you’ll have to wait 2 weeks.
Hello my crafty friends, 2020 has been a year…and it is only July! If you’re like me, your yarn and hook have been helping you through. I’m looking forward to putting my hook to use even more this fall to share handmade gifts with friends and family to let them know how much I care about them.

Ginny’s Grannies CAL part 6 is here! This month we finish the third side of the outer section granny squares. Motif 23 was so fun to design; it drove me a bit batty, but it ended up so cool. There are some really nifty motifs in this group. I hope you enjoy making them as much as I enjoyed designing them.

Rolled brim knit hats are fun to wear and easy to make. Roly Poly Hatty allows you to just go with the natural roll of stockinette stitch to make a fashion statement. No increases or decreases are used in this pattern, so it’s super simple to make. You just knit up a tube and then gather the top to create a stylish little flourish on the top. Everyone is going to want one, and with all these sizes you can make them all happy!
“Join to knit in the round” was a terrifying phrase the first time I read it, but once I learned how simple it was, I had to laugh at myself. Now it’s your turn to learn! I prefer to use circular needles to knit in the round, while others prefer double point needles. Either way you do it, the join is the same, and so very easy.

It’s Tangi tutorial time! Have you found Tangi yet? It’s Google’s new short form video platform geared to use creative types. How cool is that? I know that my video tutorials tend to get long because I give you all the info I think may help, so on Tangi I share the just-get-to-it versions of my tutorials. I even learned how to make stop-motion videos for Tangi!

The Cozy Spirit CAL will take place over six weeks, starting with this intro, and then continuing with 3 parts of the pattern every other week. Knit Pal yarn can be ordered in your collegiate colors so you can show your spirit anywhere you go! I used my kids’ school colors. Even in cold NJ fall and winters, I’ll be showing my school spirit when I cheer them on in whatever they do!
