How to Block Hand Knits

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.

How to Make Tin Can Lights

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.
