I made a mistake. I thought I purchased this cute cardigan Ryan Gosling wore in Project Hail Mary and I was all excited until...
This was in the package. Turns out I didn't read the product description carefully enough and I purchased a knit KIT and I have never knit anything in my life. I was kind of upset cause I needed this for my birthday in May but also I think this might be an inspiration to try a new hobby. Any Knitters out there think this is possible to do?
Do I have homework and studying to catch up on? Yes, absolutely. Did I buy a mini knit kit that I'm going to do instead? Yes, absolutely!!
I hope it turns out somewhat okay since I've never knitted anything before in my life
Flood Relief Blanket - Knitting Kits
Annnnnnd I'm knitting a baby blanket *not for myself.
Recently the East Coast of New Zealand was flooded by Cyclone Gabrielle. My favourite yarn stockists (and manufactuers) of really wonderful New Zealand yarn is located right slap bang in the middle of the cyclone zone. Fortunately they were able to carry on functioning, alongside helping the community. Maree at Skeinz is a legend – together with Lisa F Designs, they have put together a flood…

CROCHET KIT: Oxford Boyfriend Cardigan using Fast-Track®, by Two of Wands
Read more about this beautiful cardigan on the Lion Brand Notebook!
For those of you just starting out, like I was just a year or two ago, the question of, “What do I need?” must come to mind. So, I’ve compiled a list of things your basic knit kit should include.
1. PLASTIC KNITTING NEEDLES Perfect Points make knitting fast and easy. Available in 10 in and 14 in lengths sizes 1 though 7 (American measurements)
2. ALUMINUM KNITTING NEEDLES Available in 10 in and 14 in lengths in sizes 1 through 17.
3. POMPOM MAKERS Fun, handy tool makes pompoms in sizes 1 through 3 in.
4. CIRCULAR KNITTING NEEDLES All needles are available in lightweight anodized aluminum with flexible plastic tubing. Great for seamless knitting. 16 inch circulars are available in sizes 1 through 10.5 and 29 in circulars are available in sizes 1 through 17. 36 in circulars are available in sizes 9 through 15.
5. POINT PROTECTORS PRevent points from damage and keeps work on the needles when not in progress. Smooth, flexible rubber adjusts to any size needle and stays on securely.
6. DOUBLE POINT KNITTING NEEDLES Double point anodized needles are used for socks, sleeves, and any project that is knit in a tube or requires working from both sides. Double points are 7 in in length and available in sizes 0 through 8 and are sold in sets of five.
7. STITCH HOLDERS Stitch holders keep stitches secure until you are ready to work them.
8. KNIT TALLY Easy-to-use counter that helps you keep track of the number of stitches on your needles. Manually adjust number as you knit.
9. YARN BAG Great project bag that will protect your yarn ball while knitting or crocheting. Large enough to also store your project until complete.
10. CABLE NEEDLES
11. STITCH MARKERS
12. TAPE MEASURE It'll come in handy, trust me. It's a pain trying to measure a project with a wooden ruler. 13. A CROCHET HOOK This comes in handy when the inevitable dropped stitch occurs.

Regular followers of the blog will know that in the last little while Deann had to have surgery. Since she’s my best knitting friend ever in the whole wide world ever, this required a gift to cheer her up while she recovered! Something small enough to ship all the way to the US quickly, something to make her smile, something that she didn’t already have.
It took…
