My Apologies! Let's Try This Again: Exciting Updates from the Fiberarts Community

Published 9 months ago • 1 min read

SEASON 1 • EDITION 6

"UGH! Knitting and Crochet Math? Whatever!"

Hi , I'm thrilled to connect with you today!

I'm thrilled to share something special with the community: 17 knitting and crochet calculators! No more scrap paper needed. You can quickly do your calculations right at the yarn shop.

Ever found a new pattern you love, only to struggle with figuring out how much wool you need? And the frustration when you get home and realize you didn't buy enough...UGH! Now, just pull out your phone, visit artemisnorth.com, and use the calculators.

Plus, these calculators are now in a new room in our community called "The Mathroom."

​

And so a new project is underway to make life easier and more interesting. I'm not telling you what it is, yet, but I will tell you I've never built anything like this and it's exciting!

Okay...now onto the fun stuff!

​

Eye Candy - YUM:

​

I think this hooked rug is fantastic. The shadows and light are so realistic, I can almost see the clouds moving.

These sweet paper mache dogs caught my eye. This is just the tip of the iceberg in this gallery of artists. I think you'll enjoy this.

​

Artemis's Top Picks:

Here are my top picks for free patterns and tutorials that I’ve carefully curated just for you.

​

​

I'd Volunteer To Do Dishes!

This amazing, tiled sink is a wonder to behold. I'd never complain about washing up again!

​

Freeform Crochet!

Have you ever thought about trying freeform Crochet but weren't sure where to start? Cypress Textiles has a great guide that covers the basics. I love the writer's outlook on crochet, "You cannot let your inner crochet meanie criticize your work."

Granny Cats!

I have a soft spot for granny squares. Whether it's the nostalgia or the look, I just love them. Those old patterns from the 60s and 70s in my vintage books make them feel like the coolest new technique you learned and used all the time. As a fiberartist, I really appreciate the heritage of the granny square.

SEASON 1 • EDITION 6 "What the heck is a WorldBuilding EXPO?"! Hi , I'm thrilled to connect with you today! A friend recently texted me, "I'm so happy EXPO was awesome, but um... what is it?"
