CRAFT Pattern Podcast - Princess Mitts from the book The Knitter's Book of Yarn by Clara Parkes

Craftpodcast Warmersbookofy
This week's CRAFT Pattern Podcast is the smashing Princess Mits, a pattern excerpt from the new book,The Knitter's Book of Yarn: The Ultimate Guide to Choosing, Using, and Enjoying Yarn by Clara Parkes. These adorable fingerless mits are the perfect small project you can tackle this winter! Plus it's a small enough project you can tackle if you want to learn how to knit cables. If you are especially daring, make them a bit longer to keep your arms warm with those 3/4 sleeve sweaters.

The Knitter's Book of Yarn is a fantastic book that is one part a resource that helps you understand yarn, how it's made, the various fibers, and which one works the best for what projects. The second half is chock full of 40 beautiful knitting patterns from sweaters, shawls, socks, mittens, hats and more. It's a guide book you'll turn to again and again before you start any knitting project! You can browse the book online in a special module at the Potter Craft site here. Link.

Beard Cap

beardcap.jpg

Vik Prjónsdóttir, an Icelandic design group, makes interesting fiber products from Icelandic wool, including these Beard Caps:
The beard caps refer to a traditional cap called "lambshed-hood" which was used in Iceland by farmers who in heavy snowstorms had to walk long distances between their sheds and to the neigboring farms. The cap covered both head and neck and had only a small opening for the face.
The addition of the mustache takes the cake for me. I can see it being practical for keeping your hot, warm nose exhalations from chapping your lips. That is, if you don't have a real mustache. Regardless, if you're lucky enough to live in a climate where this is practical, I highly recommend getting/making one of these and posting lots of pictures of it to the CRAFT Flickr pool, if only to make me jealous. - [via] Link.

Knitters for Critters: Help Make Knitted Ornaments to Benefit the SF Oil Spill Cleanup

Ornament-1
Terrie points us to Knitters for Critters that is a special project in San Rafael, CA in response to the recent Cosco Busan oil spill cleanup in San Francisco Bay.

From the site:

Knitters for Critters is focusing this week on knitting the ornament pattern from the Holiday issue of Vogue Knitting - it's essentially a knitted tube that can go over a Styrofoam ball. It would be better to make the smaller sizes, especially the two-inch size, given the cost of the Styrofoam balls.

Please bring your contribution by Friday, Nov 23rd, 12 noon to Marin Fiber Arts.
These ornaments will be sold this coming Friday from 4 - 8 pm at the Marin Fiber Arts booth at San Rafael's annual Parade of Lights and Winter Wonderland in downtown San Rafael. Look for the Marin Fiber Arts booth!

For more information on how you can contribute to the project, visit Knitters for Critters. - Link.
