Make Your Own Colored Knitting Needles

September 3, by Sarah White. 2 Comments

colored knitting needlesClearly there was a time a few months ago when I wasn’t paying much attention to my email (don’t you hate when that happens?) because I don’t even remember this one and it’s from May! Well, let me make up for that by sharing this fun little project for making your own colored knitting needles completely from scratch.

Yes, this project starts with a wooden dowel from the home improvement store. Cut them down to size, let the kids color them with watercolors (or do it yourself; why should they get all the fun?), let them dry, sharpen up one end and you’re good to go.

Of course these will not be exactly the same size as conventional knitting needles, but they are really pretty and would be a great gift for a knitting member of your family if you let the kids paint them. And Palak assures that after knitting a bunch of I-cord out of white yarn on the needles that she didn’t experience any bleeding onto the yarn. I would probably just use them with dark yarn anyway, but that’s me being paranoid. Either way, they’re super cute!

Knitting Pattern – Adorable Teddy Bear Cardigan For Baby

As a knitter, I am always on the lookout for new and interesting patterns to add to my collection. Recently, I came across Sirdar’s TEDDY BEAR CARDIGANS IN SNUGGLY SNOWFLAKE CHUNKY, design number 5404. This pattern caught my attention because of its adorable teddy bear motif pockets, and the fact that it comes in two different styles – a V-neck and shawl collar version.

The fluffy Snuggly Snowflake Chunky yarn that is used in this pattern adds an extra touch of warmth and coziness.

I have to admit, I haven’t had the chance to knit this pattern yet, but it’s definitely on my list of patterns to complete this year. The fact that it is classified as an easy level makes it accessible for knitters of all skill levels and I’m excited to give it a try. The pattern includes detailed instructions and charts, making it easy for knitters to follow along and create a beautiful and functional piece.

I love the idea of the teddy bear pockets and I can imagine how adorable it would look on a baby. The fact that the pattern comes in two different styles gives me the flexibility to choose the one that best suits my needs or preferences.

I am excited to add this pattern to my list of projects to complete this year. I believe that this pattern is a great choice for knitters looking for a cute and cozy project that is easy to make. I can’t wait to start knitting and see the final product.
