Make adorable soft toy dog, cat or bunny in plain or print fabric. All
have the same body with different tails, nose and ears. Make them as big
or as small as you wish by adjusting the squares on the pattern.
When you
knit, crochet or even sew an article of clothing, blocking is the final
touch. If you have ever completed an item and thought that it didn't look
quite as good as you thought it should, it probably needs shaping to give
it that professional look. As you make your item, it will stretch and skew
its shape. Blocking simply means getting the shape even.
This is a wonderful
recycling idea which can create beautiful lighting in your garden,
deck or on your table by using tin cans. Make one or several to sit on
a table, hang on your deck, or line a path.
