Crochet Saturn V Rocket

Crochet_SatV_Rocket.jpg

It's been well established that I'm a huge space geek, and as I prepare to head to Florida for the shuttle launch this weekend, I've got rockets on my mind more than ever. Of course, I flipped out when June shared this amazing crochet Saturn V rocket by Flickr user, Ms Premise-Conclusion. I'm in love.

You can follow along with my shuttle launch adventures over on MAKE!

Crochet Yoda Hut

crochet_yoda_hut.jpg

This crocheted yoda hut from Craftster user Jatoha is full of pure awesome. And can you believe she just freehanded it? She made it for her daughter to use with her Star Wars action figures (and yes, that's Obi Wan standing in for Luke) and I'm wishing I could finally get the hang of crochet so I could make one for myself ... er.... my son.

Lion Brand Organic Yarn

lionbrandorganicyarn.jpg

I am a yarn stasher. I love looking at my supplies and seeing fibers full of endless possiblitiesl. I mean, if the yarn is still in the skein, that means it could become anything, right?! Once it's knit up into something, it's still amazing, but to me, un-knit yarn is like a blank sheet of paper, and I revel in the potential. Today I wanted to share the most exciting yarn in my stash. It's the Lion Brand Yarn Organic Wool. This yarn is most definitely the purest that I own, and I am really curious as to what it will one day become, that is, if I can bring myself to knit it up! I'd love to hear about the best yarns in your stash! Share in the comments!

Crocheting a Yurt

miniyurt.jpg

Kate Pokorny is crocheting a yurt from woolminiyurt. Not a mini yurt, although she makes those too, but a full-size structure that will support itself and provide shelter. Her project's called Yurt Alert, and you can get involved at Kate's website and support her through Kickstarter, where there's also a neat video about her project. [via ReadyMade]

Crochet Spoon

203gow made this really gorgeous crochet spoon, which appears to have some sort of armature wire inside it, but I can't be sure because I can't understand Japanese. Can anybody who does give us an idea of what she's written?

Holiday Gift Guide 2009: Knitting & Crochet

Cz Webbanner Knitting&Crochet
Each winter especially around the holidays, I can't seem to get enough of knitting and crochet projects. I've always got one, (ok at least 3 or 4 projects) going on. To keep your knitter or crocheter happy this holiday, here are some gift ideas I know they would love.

Babygrapeyarn
Baby Grape - South American Merino by UrbanGypZ ($30)
I love handspun and dyed yarn and this Baby Grape yarn is calling me. This yarn would knit up some of these most adorable socks or crocheted arm warmers.

You can also search for yarn on Etsy to find more handmade yarn goodness.

Lotta Knittingtote
Lotta Jansdotter Tote & Zipper Set ($48)
I've been using Lotta Jansdotter totes for my knitting and crochet projects for years now. I love this tote with matching zipper set which can hold your notions such as stitch markers, large eye needle, and tape measurer.
