Get a Trial of Wildflower Knits’ New Course

Kennita Tully, the knitter behind Wildflower Knits is launching an e-course this fall and is giving interested people a free sneak peek at the offerings.

She says the course will focus on a particular knitting technique each month and will include tutorials, video instruction and a pattern using the technique. Participants will also receive coupons for the yarn of the month, have access to an online forum, get a free recipe and have the opportunity to take part in live (in-person at the shop in Manhattan, Kan., or via Skype) meetups each month.

No word on how much the classes will cost yet, but if you sign up to her newsletter now you can get a look and will get a discount on the price when it is available. (I signed up for the updates so I can give you the scoop once more information is available.)

It sounds like a fun way to build your knitting skills and a virtual knitting community at the same time.

Recently I shared a collection of Easter egg knitting patterns, and as we all know chicks are what comes out of eggs, so it’s only right to share some chick knitting patterns too. Chicks are perfect for spring decor even when it’s not Easter time, and they are so cute and fun to knit, too.

This fluffy chick from Sincerely Louise can also be worked in less fuzzy yarn if you’d rather. It’s worked flat and seamed so it’s a good one for newer knitters who might not be comfortable working little projects in the round. You can grab the pattern on Etsy.

This little chick from Fluff and Fuzz on Etsy looks like it’s still wearing part of its shell! There’s also an option without the white details, and you can knit these little hats as well. They’re worked in DK weight yarn. (She also has a super cute tiny egg shaped chick in a half shell that’s a free pattern on Ravelry.)

If you want ta chick that’s even more in an egg, this egg-shaped chick from Purl Soho may be what you’re looking for. It’s worked in super fine yarn so you can make a bunch of chicks with a skein or two of yarn, or use leftovers to change up the colors.

Alan Dart has a cute pattern that includes two halves of a broken egg and a chick that fits inside. It calls for DK weight yarn.

The spring chick pattern from Barbara Prime is a sweet little bird shape that you could make as other birds worked in different colors. The pattern doesn’t specify yarn weight, so use whatever yellow (or other color you like) yarn you have on hand to make birds of different sizes.

Make a cute, fuzzy, felted chick with the Chick Wobblers pattern from Cindy Pilon (available on Ravelry). These little chicks come in two sizes and have an “internal wobbler” so when you try to tip them over they wobble back up.
