Check Out Craft Daily for Tons of Crafty Videos

Interweave has just launched a new subscription video site called Craft Daily, where you can access hundreds of videos with instruction on knitting, crochet, beading, mixed media, sewing and more.

An unlimited number of videos can be viewed for $19.99 a month, or $199.99 for a 12-month subscription. You can also subscribe to just the knitting and crochet videos for $11.99 a month or $119.99 for 12 months.

In the knitting category there are currently 25 videos, though the sales information says new videos will be added weekly. So far there are a lot of videos from season 7 of Knitting Daily, as well as some of the individually published DVDs on knitting that Interweve has produced, including sideways knitting, reversible cables and top-down knitting.

This site is clearly an attempt to compete with Craftsy or Creative Bug, and I’m not sure how it will work. What do you think?

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
