June leethal quick knits club!

June’s club theme was Traveling – here’s the package! The 15 yard pattern was a luggage tag pouch, which can be either knit only or crochet edged: The yarn – Deep Sea Diving Suit – is 100% shetland, recycled lace-weight-ish, light green half overdyed with blue to make a striping turquoise and green pattern. EachContinue reading “June leethal quick knits club!”

June 7th – 21st photos

Ok so yeah I’ve disappeared for a little while – holy crap dudes, the Summit of Awesome was so much more awesome than I could have imagined! It officially ended on Friday, but there were related events happening all through the weekend, so I’m still recovering from all the awesome. I’ll definitely be posting aContinue reading “June 7th – 21st photos”

Dry Erase Magnets tutorial, plus other magnet ideas!

Look what I made yesterday! I had this brainstorm about making dry erase magnets back when I was making magnet projects for the May club, but I was just going to try it with white paper, for a plain white background… then I saw this tutorial via Craft: and thought of using images for theContinue reading “Dry Erase Magnets tutorial, plus other magnet ideas!”

May 27th – June 6th photos

Time has been flying by lately – I can’t believe Summit of Awesome is in just over a week already! And my club mail-out day being a week from today means that a couple projects I hoped to release this week are not going to be finished until the week after next now, due toContinue reading “May 27th – June 6th photos”

Farewell Threadbanger, it’s been a good 2 years!

I just got some bummer news earlier this week that my run of Threadbanger weekly roundups has come to an end. It’s been over 2 years (109 roundups) of posting every single Friday, so it feels really weird today that I’m not collecting awesome projects to share with TB readers. But, coincidentally, this gig endedContinue reading “Farewell Threadbanger, it’s been a good 2 years!”

Make a scrap-yarn-wrapped branch decoration!

While flipping through The Big Ass Book of Home Decor a couple weeks ago, I came across a project like this – yarn-wrapped twig arrangement. I felt like I’d seen similar projects online too, like it wasn’t the first time I’d seen a branch wrapped in yarn, but now I can’t find anything in blog-landContinue reading “Make a scrap-yarn-wrapped branch decoration!”

Flattr: about to change the world, if we help make it happen!

I want to take a minute to tell you about something I think is completely awesome and could really change the way our community and the whole internet works. The concept can be hard to grasp if you’ve never heard of anything like it, so I’m going to explain it as it relates to you,Continue reading “Flattr: about to change the world, if we help make it happen!”

May 17th – 26th photos

Photo time! The last week and a half was filled with a little gardening, a ton of awful weather, some good food, and some knit designing! Sadly, I forgot to take a photo on the 16th, so starting with last Monday… 17th + 18th – I harvested a bunch of herbs that were ready, andContinue reading “May 17th – 26th photos”

Future club 2.0 and May leethal quick knits club!

I’m so excited to tell you about my future leethal quick knits club plans! I’ve been brainstorming about it and planning out all the details for the last couple of weeks, and I’m really looking forward to making the switch, which will happen after I’ve completed 1 full year of the current club. Not sureContinue reading “Future club 2.0 and May leethal quick knits club!”

Switch Plates! And how to make one from an old record cover!

My club mail out day was Tuesday, and, like I do every month, I put the 2 patterns up on ravelry and flickr after sending out the pdf to the members. Normally, since the patterns aren’t available to the public, plus they are small trinkets that most knitters don’t seem to care much about, thisContinue reading “Switch Plates!
