How to Knit Elbow Patches for Your Sweaters

April 8, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

how to knit elbow patchesWhether you have a storebought sweater that needs a little love or you just want to add an embellishment to a project, knit elbow patches are a cute and easy way to add some color or a homemade element to a garment.

Hannah at the Homesteady had worn a favorite sweater so much its elbows were getting threadbare, so she decided to knit some elbow patches to cover the worn bits. But you don’t even have to have worn elbows to add this fun touch to a sweater.

They are pretty quick and easy to knit out of any yarn you happen to have around, and you can stitch them on with contrasting thread like she did or make them more matchy.

Head over to the Homesteady to get the full tutorial.

Declutter and Get Set for the Season with the Get Organized Toolkit

One of my missions as a crafter is to encourage people to use what they have to make something great. Accumulating stash is fun, but at some point you realize that you have more than you can ever use, and that can be really overwhelming.

A couple of years ago I wrote a book called How to Declutter Your Craft Supplies, which is all about why it’s so hard to let go of stash and how to deal with it. This is something I still struggle with and I’m in the midst of cleaning out my office/studio yet again (seriously, how can I still have so much stuff when I’m not buying anything new?).

If you’re gearing up for spring cleaning (or fall cleaning!) you need to check out the Get Organized Toolkit, of which my book is a part. This collection of more than 60 ebooks, courses, guides and printables will help you organize your home, business, mind and life.

There are so many great products here, from decluttering guides to advice on how to organize your book collection, cleaning up your iPhone and dealing with mental clutter. You’ll learn all about minimalism, get a planner to help you stay on top of home maintenance and learn how to build a capsule wardrobe, among other things. It’s a great way to get a lot of helpful advice all at once to help you lead a more organized and peaceful life.

The bundle is on sale through March 29. You can read more about it on my blog or go here to buy. And if you have specific questions about decluttering craft supplies or using your stash I would love to hear them!
