It’s Almost Easter…..Time To Knit some Eggs

Looking for a unique and fun project to add some DIY charm to your Easter decorations? Check out the knitted and felted eggs from The Vintage Umbrella! These eggs are a cool twist on traditional Easter decor and can be used in a variety of ways, from Easter baskets to table settings and more.

To get started, head over to The Vintage Umbrella website and follow the link to the knitted and felted eggs project. The pattern is easy to follow, and even if you’re new to knitting, you should be able to complete the project with ease.

The pattern calls for worsted weight yarn and requires basic knitting skills, like casting on, knitting in the round, and decreasing. Once you’ve knit the eggs, you’ll need to felt them in the washing machine to give them their unique texture and shape.

The finished eggs are cute and versatile, and you can use any color combination you like to match your decor. Plus, since they’re made from yarn, they’re a great eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic Easter eggs.

Head on over to The Vintage Umbrella, and look for the link. You’ll absolutely LOVE the results!!

Book Review: Knitovation Stitch Dictionary

There’s always room for more stitch dictionaries on your shelf, but Andrea Rangel’s Knitovation Stitch Dictionary is unlike those stitch pattern books you might already own. That’s because this one is full of colorwork stitch patterns rather than textured stitches, lace or cables, so the designs are ripe for adding to hats, sweaters and other projects with a stockinette stitch background. 

The book starts with a quick introduction to knitting colorwork that’s also unlike what you’ve probably seen before, because it’s less about the colors themselves and more about the kinds of fibers you choose, how the yarn is prepared and the gauge you’re working at and how those things all change the look of a design. 

Most of the book is filled with motif designs and swatches. The motifs were designed and named by Andrea’s husband Sean, who is an artist and brings a bit of whimsy to the designs. 

You’ll find some classic looking leaves and flowers, mosaics and waves, but also rubber ducks, penguins, puzzle pieces, cherries and cows, snails and teapots, eyeballs and chess pieces, to name a few. Many of the designs also have funny names, like a fish named toilet bound, or cats in suits called corporate fat cat.

Of course you can use the designs in any way you want on any project you like, but there are also three patterns in the book — for a hat, a sweater and a pair of fingerless gloves — plus discussion of how the motifs were added, adjusting patterns for a different size or gauge, and adding your own motifs. 

If you like adding a bit of colorwork to otherwise plain projects that other people have designed, or you’re ready to start making your own designs with fun motifs, this book is a great place to start. The fun and funny motifs are sure to inspire you to want to pick up your needles and add a little more color to your projects. 

About the book: 160 pages, hardcover, 150+ motifs and three knitting patterns. Published 2023 by Interweave, suggested retail $28.
