Beware: These Knit Stars are Addicting

December 21, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

scintillation stars knitting patternI haven’t knit any of Hunter Hammersen’s lovely stars called Scintillation yet, but I can definitely see the appeal. They’re darling, use very little yarn and are a pretty quick little project.

The way they are worked means there are no seams and just two ends to weave in when you’re done

The pattern is exceptionally detailed so there’s almost no way to mess it up.

AND the pattern offers designs using three different weights of yarn, three different stitch patterns and three different shapes, for more than 50 options before you even start talking about knitting them in different colors and kinds of yarn.

They’d be so great as a garland for your Christmas tree next year…

The pattern is $7.45 and is available on Ravelry.

A Few of My Favorite Things for Knitters

It’s that time of year when you might want to shop for something special for a knitter (or crocheter!) in your life, or when you might want to start dropping hints for someone who might want to buy something for you this holiday season.

Either way, I’ve got just the thing on my list of gift ideas for knitters and crocheters. The full list is over on my blog Our Daily Craft, but I wanted to share a few of the highlights here to get a conversation going about great gifts for knitters.

This year I really want to get some knitter’s barber cord. There are lots of knockoffs of this product out there, but as far as I can tell Handsome Fibers on Etsy was the first to sell it. It’s a flexible cord that you can slip over your needle points (up to size 9 US/5.5mm) so that you can slip on a top-down sweater or a sleeve without having to slip all the stitches onto a piece of yarn, then back onto the needle. I feel like this would save me a ton of time, and they’re just fun besides.

I love a good knitting toolkit that can hold a bunch of tools in one place for your travel knitting kit (or to keep near wherever you knit most often). I’ve got my eye on a Akerworks knitting and crochet kit, which includes a needle gauge, swatch gauge, tiny scissors, a tape measure, stitch markers and darning needles.

And this is one I already have, but I was recently reminded how much I love my set of Fix-A-Stitch double-ended crochet hooks. These short hooks are perfect for picking up dropped stitches, and because they have hooks on both ends you can move the tool around instead of having to flip the fabric when you’re fixing a dropped stitch in garter stitch. It’s honestly the coolest thing and they’re great for fixing stitches in any other kind of fabric, too.

So, you tell me, what did I miss? Do you have a favorite knitting tool or accessory that you think every knitter should have? Tell me about it!
