A Bit of Knitting Fun: Your Silly Knitting Name

by

funny knitting name generatorThere are lots of memes out there about funny names related to holidays, and Craftsy has developed one for your silly knitter name that is pretty fun.

There are many memes on the internet that play with the idea of funny names related to holidays, and Craftsy, a company that specializes in crafting and DIY, has developed a fun way to generate a silly knitter name for individuals. The name generator uses the month and date of the user’s birthday to create a unique and playful name.

For example, if you were born in August on the 29th, you would be given the name “Her Royal Highness Short Rows”. Other options include “Baron Brioche”, “Sheriff Knitwit”, and “Captain Shawl Maker”. These names are not only unique but also reflect the craft of knitting and the humor of the holidays.

The Craftsy’s knitter name generator is a great way to add some fun and creativity to the hobby of knitting. It can be a fun way to come up with a creative name and share some laughter with friends and family. The generator can also be a way to personalize and make a connection to your hobby and to celebrate your birthday in a special way.

I got Her Royal Highness Short Rows (Aug. 29). If you try it out I’d love to hear what your funny name is!

Knit a Glasses Holder for Your Bedside Table

knit glasses holder

Not too long ago I was seeing a crochet pattern for a glasses holder shaped like a bear all over the Internet. It was super cute, and also useful as a place to put your glasses on your bedside table instead of just throwing them somewhere random.

This project stewed in my brain for a little while and I decided I needed to make a knit version, but I didn’t want to make a bear. If you know anything about me you might know that I’m a cat person, so of course my version had to be a cat.

The base is just a basic little basic worked from the center out to the desired size, then up the sides as long as you want them. Knit some ears and add embellishments to make it whatever kind of animal you want.

The way I figured out to work the base from the center out was to use a crochet cast on, which gives you an easier way to pick up stitches from the back of the cast on than if you worked a more traditional cast on for a knitting project. It’s kind of fun to do things in a different way from time to time.

This little project is adorable if I do say so myself, and even as a plain little basket not made into an animal it’s a cute way to keep your glasses or other little things in one place. I’m tempted to make one for my desk to hold pens or even little little scissors and sewing needles that are always on my desk but somehow always seem to get lost on my desk.
