Hello, my name is Ulrika and I am a yarnaholic. Welcome to the club. It's so nice to know that I am not the only one. I have a whole room full of yarn. I keep telling myself I don't need anymore,...

If you are in the Toronto area this is a great place to get yarn at great deal. I was there yesterday with a friend. The place was filled from floor to ceiling with...

Listowel is in southern Ontario, just north of Stratford. It is well worth the drive. Mikey from the Crochet Crowd will be there. He goes ther quite often to do demonstrations. I had the pleasure...

Here's a link to the annual tent sale in Listowel. I will be going on August 13th with a bunch of friends. Hope to see you there. It's worth the...

You're welcome. I love the magic knot. Use it 99% of the time to join jarn. If done properly it is virtually invisible and strong.

How to Perform the magic knot-tying trick « Prop Tricks

Here's a link on how to do it. It's awesome

I do this too when chaning colours. But if I am adding another ball, I use the magic knot method. In crochet the tiny knot is easy to hide. In knitting it might be a little more visible depending...

Thank you all for the kind feedback. I showed it to my daughter on the weekend and she loved it too. She loves the colours. She also loves to embrace her German side.

Just finished this afghan that my niece wanted. She helped with the design. I crocheted it. They are the colours of her lacrosse team at Guelph University. They also happen to be the same colours...

I hold mine like a knife. It seems natural to me. I also knit continental style which also seems natural to me. Any method where there is a minimum amount of movement is the best, I think because...

Here is a hexagon market bag I made for a friend. I lined it with a colourful pillowcase that I found at the dollar store. I think I will make a hexagon grany square afghan next using up my scraps.

Thank you all for you lovely comments. Making bags is sort of a passion of mine. I never know how it's going to turn out once I start. It took me three times to get this one going. The lining is...

Just finished this bag for a friend. She came over to pick out her colours and then I went at it. Hope you like it.32143215

I like them both, but the second one is my favourite.

That is so awesome. You are creating a nw generations of crafters. I remember someone teaching me when I was young and I am still hooked (no pun intented). Love the idea of making square and making...

I'm doing the tunisian entrelac pattern in a pink and white baby yarn, but I am using 12 stitches in the square instead of six. I'll post a picture when I'm done. Not sure when that will be as I...

I just followed the tutorial. I believe it was a 9 part series. Once I got the hang of it, it was quite easy. I am in the process of making a baby blanket using this method. I am making the...

Here is an afghan that I just finished. I made it for charity. A client of mine gave me a bunch of yarn. The colours aren't all that great, but at least now it will find a good home.28132814

I've just completed this pink baby blanket for charity. Some pink yarn was donated to our group. This yarn is at least 40 years old. It was a bit scratchy, but I think it will soften up after I...

Can't get it here in Canada. Bummer

Here's a baby blanket I made for one of client's who just had her first great grandson. She can no longer knit or crochet due to pain in her hands. Anyway, she is going to go visit her...

As a matter of fact I do. I have made several crocodile purses. I use colourful pillowcases that I buy in the dollar store. Most of the seaming is done already. I just cut it down to size and sew...

The only thing I ordered was some cotton yarn. Not of very good quality. All the colours bled. Havent ordered anything from them since.

U use the crochet cast on as my first row, then cast off using my crochet hook. this gives e a good foundation. No twisting. this is of course if you know how to knit.

That's where my hubby grew up. He lived on Pape Ave. He went to Eastern Commerce high school too. Small world. We live in Stouffville now.
