Knitting has always had a stigma of old ladies and tea cozies – well I’m here to say NO!

Knitting has never been cooler and the same for crocheting!!

No really… take a look at some of the best movie, game & geek-type stuff that everyone has been making!

It’s awesome and an ace skill to have I am quite a new knitter I have only been knitting for about three years and I’m still learning I just hope I can turn out some of the great stuff that these guys have!

For more awesome knitted and crochet’d stuff, check out Ravelry – my username there is Toadpink, obviously.

On a side-note, make sure to remember that it’s World Knit In Public Day on 13th & 14th as well as the 20th & 21st of June!

I found this ace pattern for hackey sacks and thought i would share i have tried a few but this is by far the easiest and quickest to pick up. So have a go and let me know what you think.
The pattern is from shazzaspatterns.blogspot.com she is a lady from Tasmania and she knits and sells so take a look!

Quick and easy to make and so much fun to play with!
And once you get the hang of it you can mix it up with different stripes or patterns.

And in the true fashion of Blue Peter… here’s some I made earlier:
