A Bit of Knitting Fun: Your Silly Knitting Name

July 5, 2016 by Sarah White

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!

    Ha! Citizen Shawl Maker here. The funny thing is that I am working on a shawl now.

Have you read?

Knit a Hat with a Flock of Chickens

It’s well known (among knitters, anyway) that knitters seem to love chickens as a motif and a subject of our knitting projects. The Emotional Support Chicken and all the other chicken knitting patterns are just the beginning of our devotion to farmyard friends. 

For example, there’s Farmer Dennis’ Chicken Hat. This free pattern from Stacy Black is a simple worsted weight beanie sized for adults and decorate with a couple of little rounds of colorwork fences and a flock of chickens strutting around the body of the hat. 

You don’t need a lot of any of the colors for the chickens, their facial features or the fences, so this is a great project for using little leftover bits from other projects. The main color for the body of the hat is less than a skein using the yarn suggested, so you might just have everything you need in your house to start stitching up this hat right away. 

The colorwork is presented as a chart, with a 16 stitch section that repeats around the body of the hat. All the color changes are shown on the chart but I think it would be easier to knit the whole chicken in the chicken color and add the eye, beak and other features using duplicate stitch when the knitting is done. That way you don’t have to carry those yarns around the whole hat for just a few stitches. 

As the name suggests, the original hat was given to a farmer who shared their eggs, but anyone who raises chickens or just has a thing for the fowl is sure to love this cute hat. It wouldn’t be too difficult for someone new to stranded knitting or reading charts to make, either, so if that’s you, give it a try. 

The pattern is available for free on Ravelry.
