Weekend Knits Knitting Super Bundle

2 Comments
The Ultimate “Weekend Knits” Knitting Pattern Super Bundle

 
If there are a few things I know about myself, it’s that I like to stay busy and I’m a knitting fanatic.  I like to keep things moving whether it’s work, socializing, or projects.
Sometimes, I need to slow down, and there is nothing more appealing after a busy week than the thought of a cozy weekend in.
But that doesn’t mean I want to just veg out and do nothing.  One of my favorite things about weekends in is that I get some time to devote to my knitting projects.
I love big, intricate lace sweaters and cozy throws, but they take time, and with my busy schedule, sometimes it takes months to finish them.
That’s why I’m so excited to introduce The Ultimate “Weekend Knits” Bundle.
 
 
The folks at Ideal Me have worked hard to curate over 30+ patterns in this bundle. They have been hand-picked by top Etsy designers and knitting bloggers, and each pattern is specifically designed to be completed within a weekend.
The patterns range from sweaters and blankets to hats and cowls, and each pattern is both gorgeous and simple enough to knock in a weekend of solid knitting.
Now through March 6th, you can get all 30+ “Weekend Knits” knitting patterns worth over $200 for over 90% off…but make sure to take advantage of this deal now because once the sale is over, the bundle is never coming back.
This bundle is full of amazing patterns from top designers, and it’s a deal you definitely won’t want to miss.

Knitting Projects Using Chunky Yarns

The last couple of months I have created some new knitting projects using chunky yarns.  One of the projects is a scarf and the other two are cowls.

wool ease thick and quick ribbed scarf from Kimberlees Korner

chunky knit scarf from Kimberlees Korner

The scarf in the photos above was knit with Lion brand yarn – Wool Ease Thick and Quick yarn.  It took two skeins to complete this scarf.  It works up really fast on large size US 13 knitting needles.  I really like the stitch I used to design this scarf as it is reversible – meaning it looks the same on both sides.

chunky knit cowl pattern from Kimberlees Korner

The purple cowl above is another knitting project using chunky yarns that I have recently completed.  The yarn used for this cowl was from Michael’s.  It is their brand of yarn called Country Loom from Loops and Threads.  This is a nice yarn for a reasonable price and it knits up quickly.  I used a size US 15 to knit this cowl.  The cowl is knit in the round using circular knitting needles so there is no seam.  This knitting project also took 2 skeins of yarn.

My most recently finished knitting project using a chunky weight yarn is the cape – cowl in the photos above.  This design is also knit using the Loops and Threads Country Loom yarn from Michael’s.   It is knit using size US 15 and size US 13 circular knitting needles – it is knit in the round.  This cowl – cape is knit using a different stitch than the purple cowl and it is slightly wider so it can also be worn as a cape to keep the shoulders and back warm.  I love how it turned out with the big large wood flower button at the top.

All of the above designs can be found in my etsy and craftsy shops.  I will also be putting them in my ravelry store and on the Love Knitting site.  You can click on the highlighted text to take you to those links for my patterns.

What are some of the chunky weight yarns you like to knit or crochet with?  Let me know in the comments.

Have a great day!

One Row Lace Knit Scarf Pattern

This one row lace knit scarf pattern is easy to knit and available free here on my blog.  This knit scarf pattern is great for an advanced beginner wanting to learn to knit an easy lace project.Easy One Row Lace Scarf Pattern - free pattern from Kimberlees Korner

The yarn I used in the photo for this lace knit scarf pattern was Lana Grossa Opera – it is cotton polyamide viscose mix and it has pretty sequins throughout the yarn.  Any type of yarn that has a glitter or sequin to it that recommends a size  US 8 or 9 needle will work for this pattern.  You will need about 200 yards for a scarf that will be approximately 40 inches long by 7 inches wide, unblocked.  One Row Lace Knit Scarf Pattern close up of the sequin yarn from Kimberlees Korner

If you want your scarf to be longer you can just continue to follow the pattern but you will need extra yarn.  I only had 2 skeins of the Opera.  I kind of like a shorter scarf especially a lace knit scarf since I usually wear it more as a decorative accessory and not for warmth.

The skills required to complete this lace knit scarf pattern are:

  • k2tog – knit 2 stitches together
  • yo – yarn over
  • p – purl

If you are familiar with those stitches then you will be able to complete this scarf pattern.   You can click on the highlighted text to download the pattern:

Easy One Row Lace Knit Scarf Pattern

This scarf is a quick and easy lace knit scarf to complete – great if you need a last minute gift.  This is also a nice project for someone who wants to try out some lace stitches.  Easy to Knit One Row Lace Scarf Pattern - free knitting pattern

I hope you enjoy the pattern.  For more of my patterns you can visit my etsy, craftsy or ravelry shops.  I am always creating new things and adding new patterns to my shops.

Have a great day and Happy Knitting.

Chenille Knit Blanket

1 Comment

I finally finished the chenille knit blanket that I started back before Christmas.  I now know why I don’t knit that many blankets or afghans – they take a lot of time to complete and after a while I get bored with the same project and the same yarn.  That is probably why I had to quit working on this blanket for a while and do a few other projects in between.  Well, anyhow, it is done, actually it has been finished for a few weeks and my husband (and cat) have been enjoying it.

Easy to Knit Chenille blanket from Kimberlees Korner

This blanket is super easy to knit.  I had this chenille yarn, from Lion brand yarn, for quite a while in my stash and decided it would be a nice warm blanket for our living room.  The needle size I used for this yarn was a size US 11 circular with a very long 47 inch cable.  The pattern for this blanket is a 4 row repeat and is below:

Cast on 72 stitches (multiple of 4)

Row 1:  (Right Side) *K2, p2; repeat from * across

Row 2:  *K2, p2; repeat from * across

Row 3:  P2, k2; repeat from * across

Row 4:  P2, k2; repeat from * across

Repeat the above 4 rows a total of 104 times or until desired length.

My finished blanket was approximately 42 inches wide and 65 inches long.  A nice size for a couch afghan.  I could have probably made it longer as I had another skein of yarn but the chenille yarn was getting super heavy to work with.

Chenille Afghan Free Knit Pattern from Kimberlees Korner

This stitch pattern is reversible, meaning it looks the same on both sides, which I think is nice for a blanket.  I also knit a swatch with the pattern in acrylic #4 weight yarn holding 2 yarns together and thought that would also make a nice heavy blanket.  Knit swatch holding 2 yarns together Kimberlees Korner

The above swatch is knit with 2 skeins of Hobby Lobby I Love this Yarn held together and using the 4 row pattern above and size US 11 needles.  This swatch ended up being a little smaller in size than my chenille swatch.  It was 4 inches wide by 4 inches long on 12 stitches over 16 rows in pattern.  The chenille swatch was 6 inches wide by 5 inches long on 12 stitches over 20 rows in pattern.  So, if you were to knit the pattern in 2 yarns of acrylic yarn you would probably want to increase your stitch count to at least 112 stitches so that the blanket will be wide enough.   Just remember your stitch count needs to be a multiple of 4 whatever you increase it to.

Chenille Blanket and Vibrant V Stitch Pillow from Kimberlees Korner

Overall I am pleased with our new blanket.  I also like the fact that it looks nice with the Vibrant V Stitch pillow I crocheted back in the fall.  Of course photos are not complete without my black cat getting in the background.

I have also been knitting some dishcloths, which are good and easy spring projects and some sweaters.  What have you been working on lately?  Let me know by leaving a comment.

Have a great day!

Uses for Ruffle Scarf Yarn

8 Comments

Ruffle scarf yarn is for crocheting and knitting scarves – hence the name.  This type of yarn became very popular a few years ago.  It is still popular and you see it in craft stores or online in various colors an textures.

skeins of ruffle scarf yarn

I knit a LOT of scarves in this ruffle yarn.  I knit many for gifts, to sell and for myself.  After a while I got tired of just knitting scarves with it and decided to try using it as an edging on scarves or shawls.

crochet scarf with ruffle yarn edge

The above scarf is a crochet version I designed using Homespun yarn as the base and Patons Pirouette yarn as the ruffle edge.  The pattern can be found in my etsy shop.

Spiral Knit Scarf in Texas Tech colors from Kimberlees Korner

The photo of the red, black and white scarf is a knit version.  I knitted this scarf in Texas Tech colors for my neighbors daughter who goes to school there.  The ruffle yarn is a lot of fun to use with one or two other colors of yarn to showcase some team colors.  This pattern is also available in my etsy shop.

crochet cape with ruffle yarn edging from Kimberlees Korner

The above cape is something I designed about a year ago for my Grandmother.  Again the main body of the cape is knit with Homespun yarn and the ruffle edge is Patons Pirouette.  This pattern is easy and can be found on etsy.

garter shawl with ruffle yarn edging from Kimberlees Korner

The blue shawl above is a lovely prayer shawl design that is knitted in Homespun yarn and then edged with the ruffle yarn.  I gave this to my friend this summer who was going through chemo therapy to fight breast cancer.  Blue is one of her favorite colors.  This pattern is also on etsy.

It is pretty easy to use this yarn as a decorative accent.  You have to crochet or knit with your base yarn and the ruffle yarn held together.  Below are a couple of photos showing how to crochet or knit with it for an edging.

I have also found that a lot of the Homespun yarns from Lion brand yarn coordinate well with some of the Red Heart Boutique Sashay or the Patons Pirouette yarns.

Patterns for these designs can be found in my etsy shop – links above highlighted for each specific pattern or in my craftsy pattern store.

Have you used ruffle yarn before?  Let me know by leaving a reply in the comments and tell me what you made.

Have a great day!
