    2015 is the year I intend to master brioche knitting! And I also look forward to learning other new skills, such as
    those shown on the Season 6 DV Ds that I hope to win.

    I would love to win this. I own my own Crochet business, but need to brush up on my knitting.

    I want to learn to knit with beads – I just bought Laura Nelkins’ Craftsy class during their Christmas sale. I’m guessing the section on necklaces in Knit and Crochet Now Season 6 would have some pointers too.

    I’m just learning to crochet and knit, so this would be super helpful! I want to make some hats and shawls for next Christmas!

    That scarf featured in the photo on top is the neatest thing I’ve seen in a long time!

    Some of my most treasured items from childhood include my mother’s afghans – I crochet but after inheriting a vast number of knitting needles in many sizes, I’m determined to expand my knitting talents!

    I would love to be able to read instructions in crochet I can make things on my own but I would love to follow patters I can knit and have no problem following knitting patterns love this show.

  11. Donna Mcintyre says

    December 28, 2014 at 6:10 pm

    I really want to tackle double knitting in 2015. It’s a great way to use thinner yarns to make really warm items (two layers) that are neither bulky or heavy. Thanks for another great giveaway!

    December 29, 2014 at 5:12 pm

    I’d like to win this for an elderly friend of ours…her memory is failing so seeing this done visually might be helpful to her. Thanks and God bless you and yours in the New Year!

    It would be great to win this as our provider does not air the channel that carries this show

    I really love the show. My PBS station only has it on once a week. I am looking for Ellen Gormley’s pattern of her white crochet kitty. The kitty pattern is an upright kitty doll that stands upright with two legs and two arms. Could you please email it to me. Thank you.

Practice Colorwork on a Cute Knit Bunny

Sometimes I feel like knitters get intimidated to try new things because they think they need to start with a big project. Your first time working in the round doesn’t need to be a sock, and your first colorwork doesn’t need to be a sweater, for example. You can find little projects that use the skills you want to learn to build your confidence before you move on to something that requires more time commitment.

This adorable knit bunny, for example.

The colorwork bunny from Knit Picks was designed by Amy Munson and is a kind of bowling pin shaped bunny complete with a knit hat, contrasting inner ears and a little stranded colorwork on its body. Note that the ears are attached the the hat not the bunny, but you could stitch them to the bunny if you’d rather.

It’s worked from the bottom up and also has a tiny pompom tail you can’t see in the picture but it’s a really cute touch. There are a variety of little fair isle patterns to choose from to make the best bunny for you.

The bunny comes out about 8 inches tall (or just over 20 cm) and use several colors to complete the colorwork, depending on the design you choose.

You can purchase the pattern by itself from Knit Picks, or make a kit that includes sport weight yarn in all the colors you need for your creation. There are gray and brown options for the main body of the bunny, but of course if you’re using your own yarn you can make it whatever color you like.

Once you’ve tried colorwork (maybe also working in the round and shaping if those are skills you haven’t used before) in a little project like this you’ll be ready to take on something bigger in no time.

Check out the pattern on Knit Picks.
