updated: please go to https://www.facebook.com/knittingwithchildren/?ref=bookmarks to stay abreast of a new website, coming soon, that will give you everything you need to know to teach children to knit, and support you and your children in a developmental, imaginative, gentle way. Patterns and stories included. When teaching children to cast on, I usually tell a story the day or two before about a boy with a ship. Then, I retell the story, adding instruction and supplies. I give each student a rolled ball of white yarn and one knitting needle. There was a boy who found a treasure map one day. The treasure map had a curious inscription: If you would climb Thumb Mountain, then over to Pointer Mountain soar, Scoop up the gold , under vines, back home, then treasure will be yours. This boy, when he read those words, knew exactly where to find thumb mountain. It was an easy journey for him, and he knew it well. He had a ship, and he knew just how to sail it. This is your ship. Put your slip knot on the knitting needle, with pads of fingers touching the shaft. I tell the students to hold their needles 'birds on a wire' so their fingers are a bit looser. Some want to grip the needle in a fist...help them hold their fingers over the needle like so: Now you can sail your ship up, down, and through waves. The boy knew he was getting close because he could see the beach. He then set out to anchor his ship by grabbing the line hanging from it. Then, he split the line so the boat would be steady while he was gone. At this point in the story, the tip of the knitting needle becomes the boy. Now it was time for the ship to rest and for the boy to go to the island to find treasure. He landed on the beach. The knitting needle comes forward and down. The "mountains" stand strong. Now the boy crept up Thumb Mountain, under the vines, all the way to the top, and he never fell off. He remembered the writing: If you would climb Thumb Mountain, then over to Pointer Mountain soar, Scoop up the gold , under vines, back home, then treasure will be yours. From the top of Thumb Mountain, he could see Pointer Mountain. He flew over, because he was a very special boy and could do things like that. You will notice my hand has turned to the side here. The boy is on top of Pointer Mountain. Now he sees the gold and scoops it up, and flies back to the top of Thumb Mountain. The yarn coming from Pointer has been scooped and is on its way to Thumb. Now the boy is on Thumb mountain and is ready to go home. He slides down Thumb Mountain, under the vines with his treasure, and lands on the beach. He is back home on the beach! Now take your whole hand out and pull one of the strings to close the loop. You will have two stitches on the needle now. Congratulations! A continental cast-on. Start the whole process again to cast on the rest of the stitches (there's more gold in those hills!) Eventually, instead of taking out your whole hand, you can simply sweep your thumb across to close the last loop. See knittinghelp.com for a video of the Continental Cast-On.

I often spend January and February working on small projects, finishing ufo's or doing some crochet. After all the stress in December trying to finish my costume in time. I feel entitled to some time off but I am to restless to do nothing, this year is no different. First off I finished the lace cap I had started working on at an event in December. My second project was a making myself another sewing roll. I had made several sewing rolls last year to give as gifts to friends for Christmas. They where made with pretty fabric and a pattern by Merchant and Mills. Running out of time, as always, I made myself a simple version of natural colored linnen and cotton. Functional but not spectacular. One of my friends had also made a sewing roll and when I saw hers I absolutely loved it. It was made with a whole lot a small quilting fabrics and the construction she had just made up herself. Being the sweatheart she is for christmas she gave me a package with some small squares of quilting fabric, some embriodery designs and her sewing roll to copy! I hadn't done cross stitch embriodery in twenty years so it was quite a challenge. With her help and inspiration I made this and I am really happy with the end result. Please remember it is not intended to be a reproduction. However I do think she got the look quite right!

Vaak als je net een supermooie creatie hebt genaaid blijf je zitten met een Gat.. Meestel het Gat waardoor je je werk met de goede kant naar buiten moest keren, bij een (spelden)kussen, een knuffel of de voering van een tas. Maar hoe naai je dat Gat netjes dicht? Het kan met de naaimachine, dat is snel maar niet zo netjes. Echt netjes doe je dat met de hand, met een onzichtbare steek. En dat gaat als volgt > Lees Verder >
I swoon every time late August arrives because it signals the return of my favorite plant dye flower. The Goldenrod The yellow it gives in fields and dye pots is by far my favorite. I thought I would lay out a few mordant and after dip combinations I have done. There isn't much a difference in yellows - the ammonia after dip warms it up considerably - but the iron after dip is quite significant. There is a difference in color depending on the wool/yarn you choose. Its always important to do your own tests. When you do your tests make sure you use to correct per portion of dye to weight of yarn. If you make up your "full" dye pot but dip in test yarns remember that the tests will produce a darker color than if you had put in your full amount of yarn. When I make a pot of goldenrod dye I fill my pot full of blossom tips. The tips are fresh and barely open. The older the flower the saddened the color will be, but if your going to add iron anyway to get that great green it would be fine. Plus in November and the last flowers are blooming I grab them anyway. I have two frozen bags of fresh flowers in the freezer and plan on using them this winter - I'll post the results here in an update to see if they produce anything different. I have over dyed goldenrod and indigo and receive the most gorgeous greens you ever have seen. I also have a great time achieving oranges with cochineal. Ill try to post that next. Remember its not the lovely goldenrod that is making you sneeze but the ragweed that grows next to it - so marvel in the beauty of goldenrod and enjoy its splendor of color. I am also happy to report that I am once again the Handwork Teacher for the Ithaca Waldorf School in Ithaca, NY. I start tomorrow and I will hopefully take up this blog to track my comings and goings of teaching this year and future years.

1st grade Rainbow Pentatonic Flute case. Cast on 18 stitches of bulky brown sheep yarn. dark on the bottom light to the top. This pattern does not show the light dark as well as it should Talk to the kids about the rainbow before hand. Make sure they understand what that means. If you choose red on the bottom the next color is either Orange or Purple If you choose Blue on the bottom the next color would either be Purple or Green. After that they need to finish with the rainbow pattern. so red on bottom and they choose Orange next, after that comes yellow and they might want to end with white because green would be darker than yellow. etc. 10 rib rows 20 knit rows per color Below is a seed stitch needle book for after their handwork bag and cross stitch is done.
