Giveaway: Debbie Macomber Knitting Booklets

March 9, 2015 by Sarah White

debbie macomber knitting booksI have this random collection of Debbie Macomber knitting booklets from Leisure Arts to give away today. They do a pattern book to go with each of her knitting fiction books, and I somehow have three of them:

Hannah’s List, which has 13 patterns that are great for gifts, including scarves, sweaters, socks, baby things and an adorable dog sweater

Summer on Blossom Street, which has 7 patterns for knitting and 3 for crochet; some of the knitting ones include a cable sampler scarf, a baby blanket, a kid’s sweater and a man’s vest

A Turn in the Road, with 18 patterns you can knit while you travel, including scarves, socks, slippers, a shawl and some baby things.

One winner will get all three booklets.

For a chance to win, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, March 15. I’d love to know if you read Debbie Macomber or any other knitting fiction and who your favorite authors in that genre are. I’ve read a few of her books, but not all of them.

Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!

    I do read Deborah Macomber’s books, not just the knitting ones, because they have a gentle realness about them. I enjoy other crafts, but don’t really have favorite authors who include the. Right now I’m reading an Amish quilt book by Vanetta Chapman that I’m enjoying. It’s title is “Falling to Pieces.”

Make Your Knitting Machine Scarves Better

I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve shared any patterns for our circular knitting machine users. I know these devices aren’t for everyone but even though I much prefer knitting by hand, it is kind of fun to crank things out on these machines.

One of the most common early projects for a circular knitting machine is a scarf. Which makes sense, because it’s just one long tube and you can make it as long as you like.

One problem that comes from knitting scarves on the circular knitting machine, though, is that it can be hard to know how to finish the ends of the tube so that it looks like a finished scarf and not a tube of knitting.

If you’re not a knitter or crocheter, the most basic way to finish a circular knitting machine scarf is just by cinching up the ends and maybe adding a pompom to each end to cover up any hole that might still be visible at the end.

But if you have a little knitting or crochet skill or are willing to learn, there are a lot of different options for closing up the ends of a scarf. And this would also be true if you hand knit a tube scarf!

I recently wrote a post over at Our Daily Craft that includes five different ways to close up the ends of a tube scarf:

  • the simple cinching method mentioned above
  • sewing the stitches together
  • three needle bind off
  • grafting
  • crochet bind off

Grafting is my favorite because I feel like it gives the cleanest, closest to a seamless look. If you’re a knitter you may already know how to do it but even if you don’t it’s not that hard to learn.

Do you knit tube scarves by hand or machine? I’d love to know how you like to finish them!
