A Bit of Knitting Fun: Your Silly Knitting Name

There 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!

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.”

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them.

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits.

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves.

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit.

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.
