This week I'm talking about the 4th Knitvent pattern - the Adorn Gift Bags, some tips for knitting them and ideas for things to put in them from the Curious Handmade community. Show Sponsor - Meadow Yarn Meadow Yarn is an inviting online retailer selling yarn, needles and notions. It's a small, family business based in rural Suffolk in the UK. Meadow Yarn was born out of a passion for beautiful yarn and knitting accessories and aims to bring you a range of great products. Yarns stocked include madelinetosh, Eden Cottage Yarn, Hazel Knits and many more. #GiftingZen Knitvent 2014 window 4 opened to reveal the Adorn Gift Bags It comes in two styles A and B. Some techniques used in these bags: Magic Loop Kitchener stitch (grafting) - I've always used this Knitty Tutorial for kitchener but I also saw this TECHknitting one that also looks good. or 3 needle bind off - Written instructions or Video tutorial How to knit an i-cord Adding Beads to your knitting with a Crochet Hook Libby of Truly Myrtle blog - her thoughts on 9" circular needles.
