Top Ten Tuesday (A Day Late)

1. Knitting Whimsy: Is this too funny or what? Check it out here.

2. Colorwork: This colorwork pattern, Catacomb from Vogue Knitting.

3. Embroidery: And from Hey Porkchop again, this adorable snow scene.

4. Knitting: Wonderful color combination and pattern with such great stitch definition and sheen to the yarn. The yarn is from Sweet Georgia Yarns, from their Cash Luxe Fine line in colors, charcoal and oxblood. This is a picture of their two-colour kitchener stitch tutorial included in the pattern, Bloodwood Cowl by Mitenae which can be found on Ravelry.

5. Yarn: Love this Himilayan recycled sari silk yarn from here. I am so intrigued by this type of yarn, the combination of textures, thick and thin and the riotous color!

6. Sweater Design: Check out this fun and beautiful design by Anna Wilkinson published in Pom Pom Quarterly, Issue 3

7. Embroidery: A collage of truly inspirational and unusual work from Gipsy Bazar.

8. Quilting: The ever wonderful Kaffe Fassett.

9. Felt Work: This pillow from Sweet C's Designs.

10. Food: Yum, (Idiot Proof) Peanut Butter Chocolate Chex Mix Bars from Half Baked Harvest.

Hope you have enjoyed!

Great Craft Magazines

Hey all, I wanted to introduce you to some really good craft publications I enjoy that some of you might not be aware of. The first one is "The Knitter"; a knitting magazine coming out of Britain full of great photos, patterns and articles. Here are a few shots from its pages:

Next, "Mollie Makes", another British publication stock full of general craft articles, projects involving knitting, crocheting, felt work, embroidery, etc. Just an all-around very good mag.

And last but certainly not least, "Inside Crochet", yet another magazine published in the UK. They put out some good ones. This, of course, is all about crochet with patterns, articles and lots of great pictures.  Here you go:

Hope this encourages you to go seek these out for some truly great inspiration. Let me know if you have found something you like. Until next time! (I picked these up at Joann Fabrics by the way and they have great coupons you can get in the mail to use on anything.)
