Project Idea: Make Your Own Shawl Pins

, by . 4 Comments

bead and wire shawl pinShawl knitting is a lot of fun, but sometimes you have a problem when it comes to keep the shawl attached to your body without a lot of fuss.

Knitter Donna Herron, who blogs at purl3agony, discovered a fun, crafty way to keep her shawls in place: by making her own shawl pins.

She’s got a nice collection of patterns going on her website; I really like the bead and wire one because all you really need to make it is some wire, a bead and some pliers.

Have you ever made a shawl pin? I’d love to hear about it!

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.
