Congratulations to Laurie!

A new season of Knit and Crochet Now! is on its way, and it’s super exciting to see how the show has changed with new host Deborah Norville. Known as the anchor of Inside Edition, she’s also an avid crocheter with her own yarn line.

As usual, a range of guests will demo projects and share tutorials with viewers. This season those guests include editor of Crochet! Magazine, Ellen Gormley; in-house designer for Annie’s Signature Collection and Annie’s knit and crochet magazines, Lena Skvagerson; authors Robyn Chachula and Kristin Nicholas; and crochet designer Rohn Strong.

The new series includes 13 episodes and began airing on public television stations through Create TV on April 5. The show airs at 6 a.m. and 12 p.m.

Produced by Annie’s, viewers will be able to enjoy over six hours of knit and crochet tips and techniques. In every episode, Deborah will introduce the viewers to new unique yarns, patterns and products. Knit and Crochet Now! designers will share their expertise in knit and crochet skills, techniques and knowledge in color. Viewers will not want to miss the popular segment “Stitch of the Week.”

Comments

  1. I don’t have cable/satellite and can’t get PBS thru the antenna. In fact, other than about 20 stations of shopping networks and languages I don’t understand, I only get 3 stations, and those not reliably. When I visit Mom, who gets about 9 PBS stations via cable, I try to watch as many knitting shows as I can. Thanks for the giveaway!

  2. OH how I wish I could get this show. My old cable system had it but not new one. I LOVE this show. WOW, to be able to see it over and over would be fantastic!

  3. My PBS station does not carry the show and I would love to see it. I’ve heard great things about it.

  4. I watch on PBS, but have to miss several each season, so this would be great. I have learned so much from the show and really look forward to seeing it every chance I get.

  6. I dont watch the show but my mom loves it ….she doesnt know facebook let alone a computer but she saw the episode 702 for slippers and so wanted to make them….im entering for her and liking tour page too at least when im with her ahe can see your post.

  7. I love this show and the new members of the cast. Would love to win the series! Elizabeth Hyland

  8. I don’t get to see the new series..have been watching old series on MPT 2 in Maryland. I would love to see the new show.

  9. I also have been waiting to watch the new season, but my local PBS stations does not carry it. Having DVDs would be wonderful!

  11. Since I am unable to watch the show I surely would love to win this set ! Awesome !

  12. I would love nothing more than to win this series. I love Deborah Norville’s yarn an her patterns. They are so simplified. I have not had the chance to see this show. I am sure it is amazing. Only way to find out would be to win the series. Thank you for having these contests. They are so much fun.

  13. The show inspires me to learn more about crocheting as well as knitting. I loom knit, so there are not too many loom knitting projects shown, but watching regular knitting is also inspiring! Thanks for what you do!

  14. I so enjoy Knit and Crochet Now. The program has helped me through several “dry” spells. Now hooks are flying again. Thank you

  15. We just recently started getting the PBS channel that carries it. The station rarely comes in so I’ve seen half of 2 shows. I get another PBS station clearly and I watch the quilting and sewing shows on there.

  16. I only get Knit and Crochet Now two days each week on my PBS 39,Allentown, PA. (swamped by traveling shows). I’m having trouble getting instructions for projects. Right now I’m looking for Episode 704. Can you help me? I’ve keyed in knitandcrochetnow.com & many sites show up. Please help.

  17. I just listened to Deborah Norville’s interview on the Power Purls Podcast where she talked about these episodes. I want to watch them!! They’re on our local PBS station but only at 5am (I’m sleeping, sorry) and 11am when I’m at work.

  18. I have seen past shows whenever I visited family in Texas.They were very informative and not to be missed! I have always liked Deborah Norville, the yarn, and patterns. I hope she does well.

  19. What a great idea…to give away…I watch whenever I can…and even I knit and crochet for 62 years, I still learn new tricks from this show…please…bring more shows like this
    Thanks

Textured Baby Blanket Knitting Patterns

There are so many baby blanket knitting patterns out there I could probably do a post a month full of them and not run out for a very long time. This time I thought I’d look specifically at single color baby blankets that are interesting because of the inclusion of textured stitching. This makes them easy enough for new knitters but engaging for knitters of all skill levels. 

Take the Textured Checks Baby Blanket from Janet Dubbelman for example. This project is mostly stockinette stitch, with some what looks like reverse stockinette and garter stitch thrown in to make the ridges. You can use whatever yarn weight you like to make blankets of different sizes. Find the pattern on Ravelry. 

The Seedling from Modern Made Shop is just about as easy as it comes, combining seed stitch with a garter stitch border. It calls for worsted weight yarn and is perfect for beginners. 

The Julie Baby Blanket by Elisabeth Kristiansen is another one with an easy allover stitch pattern that you can knit up in a flash in whatever size you want. (The pattern notes say any gauge but it also says 28 stitches per 4 inches, which would be a superfine or fine weight yarn. Learn more on Ravelry. 

The Oscar Baby Blanket from Snufflebean is another one with an easy repeating stitch pattern that has a really fun, graphic effect. This is also great worked in a bright color, reminding us that babies don’t have to be in pastels! This one uses DK weight yarn. 

If you want to get a little fancier, check out Sammy Bristow’s Georges Blanket. This one alternates blocks of stockinette stitch with boats and anchors made by purling on the right side of the blanket. It calls for DK weight yarn and has multiple sizes for dolls through toddlers. Check it out on Ravelry.

Another cute texture is this heart blanket with diamonds that are a little reminiscent of argyle. Yarn Sonata Patterns has this one, which is worked in DK weight yarn and comes in four sizes. It includes a chart and row by row instructions. 

Or try the pretty Seton Portage baby blanket from Knitted Wishes, which has a border of trees and textured stitches that look like snow falling. The pattern includes different options for snowflakes and doing a mirror image of the trees on each end of the blanket. It’s worked in worsted weight yarn. This one includes charts, written instructions and video tutorials for special stitches.
