Jerusalem Knitting & Craft

A large box of patterns has been donated to our group.  I’d like to give them all to good homes.  I’m hoping to bring some to meetings, but I’m also going to put them up on this website to see if anyone wants them.  Please reply by e-mail to safranit-at-gmail.com.

This video is awesome! It shows a quick method for cutting bags to make plarn (Plastic Yarn). It is perfect for someone like me who can’t manage a pair of scissors!

Well, being that this is Shmitta Year and you can’t start growing your gardens this spring, but you can knit up some vegetables from MagKnits.

These sock/shoes are just great…anyone have an idea how to make the pattern?

There is a new website which has patterns and great craft information. It is done in the wikipedia style, meaning that anyone can add to it. It is called Craftacular!. Take a look. This is their no sew Circular needle holder.

Welcome to Jennifer and her knitting blog. She has managed to do some nice things with locally available yarn.

For those who are following the “Mondial,” here is a pattern for a Knitted Soccer Ball (Football)

It looks like a quick pattern, and since it is made with acrylics, you won’t have problems finding the materials here!
