knit and crochet now season 7 giveaway

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

Add a Little Lace to Your Knitting Patterns

If you’re new to lace knitting or just aren’t sure how to incorporate the technique into garments, check out these tops and sweaters that use lace as a decorative element.

The easiest lace out there is eyelets, and you can practice them plenty with this eyelet covered sweater from Knitcro Addict. It uses light/DK weight yarn and is worked in four pieces knit flat. It’s intended to be a little cropped and a little oversized, and includes sizes XS to XXL in the pattern.

If you’re in parts of the world where it’s getting colder as you read this, the Nora sweater from Bummbul might be a good choice. This is actually a great one for learning lace because it’s worked in super bulky yarn, which makes it easier to see what you’re doing and makes the lace super graphic. This one just comes in one size, with a 42 inch (106) cm bust, but that could fit a variety of people depending on how much ease you like.

Minimi Knit Design has a cute allover lace cardigan worked in one piece from the bottom up. It’s worked in lace weight mohair held double, which maybe isn’t the best for those new to lace (because it can be hard to rip out) but it sure is pretty. Sizes range to fit from 30 to 66 inches/76 to 168 cm bust measurements.

If you’d rather not have lace all over your sweater, you can knit the Lumi sweater from Originally Lovely, which has a chevron lace pattern on the yoke and is otherwise worked in reverse stockinette stitch. (It’s worked inside out so you don’t have to purl every stitch.) The pattern has 9 sizes from XS to 5XL and uses worsted weight yarn.

Or try the super romantic sookie blouse from Trust the mojo (available on Ravelry). This sweet top is started working flat from the bottom up and has a V-neck and I-cord edgings. The sleeves are worked separately in the round, and the pieces are all joined together to work in one piece to finish off the top. It comes in eight sizes and is available in English and French.

You can also pair lacy sleeves with an otherwise plain top, like on the Starflower Wrap from Annelise Driscoll Gingrow. This intermediate pattern makes a wrap sweater with generous lacy sleeves and a double wrap belt. The pattern has nine sizes, from XS to 5XL, and is available for free from Hobbi.
