Inspiration to Spark your Creativity

Over on Instagram and YouTube, the Sisters at Cocktail Hour at the Coop are hosting the annual New To You Make Along. Any fiber craft counts, you just need to try something new! Watch their latest video for details.

Frame & Fiber is a prize sponsor this year!

I am totally enamored with the Tubular Cast-On! It creates an edge that vanishes into 1x1 or 2x2 ribbing. I've used it on a recent sock WIP and a couple of hats I knit for my Nephews for Christmas. It's super stretchy and makes me look like an expert! Checkout this video tutorial from Roxanne Richardson.

I am working on the Massman vest by Elizabeth Smith. I am making modifications to make for a better fit...fingers crosses! I'll talk more about that in a future video. But for now, I am enjoying the rhythmic knitting of the textured pattern. Check out the pattern details, and the "surprise" cowl neck :) Maybe you'll want to cast-on too!

Do you have an abundance of one skein wonders with no idea what to do with them? And maybe not enough time to knit them all? Well, my friend Aquilla can help you with that. She has a sock tube cranking service and can get you well on your way to making a bunch of socks! You'll just have to knit the heels, toes and cuffs. Check out her Etsy shop. And stay tuned for a future "Sock Tube Class" here at Frame & Fiber.

I'd love to help you find the yarn for your next project or help you pick out the perfect frame for your finished needlework! There is a convenient calendar and appointment scheduler on my website, go pick a day and come see me. Or give me a call. Not local to Frame & Fiber? No problem, send me an email so we can get together virtually, or visit my Etsy shop.
