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.”

  2. I wish that I was able to watch the show, but it doesn’t look like it’s carried in my area!! These DVDs would be just as nice. I’ve Crocheted for 40+ years, but there’s always a new technique coming out, that I’m anxious to try. Thank you for the wonderful contest!!

  5. I do not watch T.V.
    In the past I have watched sewing and a craft show on my PBS station. Its been a long time.
    I usually catch things online..

    Thanks for the giveaway. Great for rainy days!

  10. OOO, I want that! I knit, and am always looking for ways to do it better, or for interesting things to knit.

  11. PS I just checked the schedule for my local PBS station, and they don’t carry the show. Drat.

  13. I’ve never seen this show on our public stations and think I’m really missing out so yes I would love to own this DVD

  14. Did not know of these episodes on TV so thanks for the info.. Would love to add this DVD to my collection of downloaded patterns. Never not knitting.

  16. I would love to watch anything Knit and Crochet on TV. I have not seen anything available. Look forward to DVD.

  21. My PBS station doesn’t carry your show anymore. I did watch it a few years ago and enjoyed it. And learned so much. I would love to have the DVD so I could watch and catch up.

  22. I love watching Knit and Crochet Now! I have been watching it for several years. My PBS station doesn’t always show the most recent ones, so it’s hard to keep up with the newest patterns.

  23. I have crochet a long time and I knit also. I can not find ” Kint and Crochet Now” on my PBS station, so I would love to win. I have never seen your show and I’m sure it is great.

  27. I absolutely do-saturday mornings are the best for all kinds of craft shows, including Knit & Crochet Now.

  29. I love Knit and Crochet Now and would love to win this set. Thank you for the opportunity!

  35. I love Knit and Crochet Now! I have learned so much. I am a crochet girl, but would love to learn to knit. So far I have only seen a couple of the season 7 episodes, loved every second. Hope you keep more seasons coming..???? Thank you!!!!

  41. I have all of the others thanks to Annie’s Attic, but with the new cast and a few of the oldies’ I would love to win season 7…..thank you

  43. I’m so happy that Knit and Crochet Today! is back on PBS! Sadly, I just started a part time job and, sadly, my hours start at 6am…
    I would LOVE to have these dvd’s to watch whenever I liked – fingers crossed! 🙂

  44. Unfortunately I haven’t found any craft shows on tv where I now live. I used to watch Knitting Daily and Beads, Baubles and Jewels on tv in Detroit. Now I watch on the Internet when I can find them.

  47. Love the show, but it’s difficult to find. It would be grand to have the luxury of watching ALL the episodes, whenever I wanted. Just. Wow.

  48. This is one of my favorite shows to watch….very difficult to find on PBS, but well worth it 🙂

  49. I love watching Knit and Crochet Now! I’m so excited about the new season. The patterns are awesome and I really like how the guests slowly illustrate the stitches. Would love to win the season!!! Thanks so much!

Knit a Cozy Sweater with Lots of Options

If you’re looking for a sweater knitting pattern that uses up some of your stash and allows you to make just the sweater you want, the Marlina Rib by Shay Johson might be just the thing.

It’s worked with two strands of fingering weight yarn held together to make a DK weight gauge, so you can use the same two yarns throughout or change one or both regularly for an even more colorful look.

The pattern has options to make it either a crewneck or a henley style with buttons, tapered or relaxed sleeves, and a straight hemline or a split hem with buttons (which sounds so cute if you do the henley with split hem and match the buttons on both parts).

It’s also knit from the top down so you can make the body and the sleeves as long as you want. There are 10 sizes available in the pattern, with a chest circumference ranging from 32 to 68 inches, or 81.5 to 172.5 cm. It’s meant to be worn with 4-6 inches/10-15 cm of positive ease at the chest.

The pattern page on Ravelry includes tons of measurements and yardage estimates so you can make sure you’ll get a good fit for your body before you even buy the pattern. Shay also shows a few variations of the sweater so you can see how different options look before you decide how you want to put them together.

The stitch pattern is 1×2 ribbing, which is really easy to do and gives a look almost like fisherman’s rib that’s relaxed and easy to wear.

This sweater looks like a great option for people who are somewhat new to sweater knitting or those who love to have lots of customization options (because it’s like getting multiple sweater patterns in one!).

Check out all the details and grab a copy of the pattern for yourself at Ravelry.
