Finding the perfect knitting needles

The knitbuddies blog has a great post on how to find the perfect knitting needles. With so much to choose from these days (even lighted ones), it could be daunting to know which one is good for your project. Knitting needles of course can be more of a personal choice so feel free to comment to this post on which ones work the best for your knitting projects. Link.

Antique Pattern Library

The Antique Pattern Library is a great resource for inspiration or old patterns/designs. Most of these books are rare and are scanned in to share and celebrate the vast history of craft. Pictured here is a French crochet book from 1868 donated by Judith Combs. Topics are range in the needlecraft family from knitting, crochet, embroidery, needlepoint and more. Books listed in light grey are those that are currently being scanned and will be added to the library. Link.

Dye yarn with Kool-Aid

From the Knitty archives, here's a fun way to dye your own yarn with Kool-Aid (yes that's right). Kool-Aid dyeing works only on animal fibers: wool, mohair, and alpaca. It doesn't work on cotton or synthetics, though, so use pure wool yarn for best results. Link.

Knit a pirate dice bag

Kim says, "This is the best gaming item ever. It's a hand knit dice bag with a golden pixelated skull on it. The skull pattern on the bag was taken from Diesel Sweeties, one of my favorite webcomics." Link.

Free vintage knitting patterns from 50's-60's

I am loving the free vintage knitting patterns off the glamarama site. The 1962 hooded poncho (left) and the 1956 Bernat Cape would still look fresh and modern today. Looks like something you can get at Anthropologie but make yourself! Link.

Make your own organic wool sweater

Treehugger just announced that Vermont Organic Fibre Company has a new line of organic fiber called O-Wool. Apparently this is a first for the US to have organic wool for hand knitting. The colors are nice and rich, just perfect for that new fall sweater you are about to knit. [ via ] Link.
