Hey everyone! Here is another hat of the month. It's been so long since I've done one of these, but I hope you guys like this one. It started out as just a 1920's style hat, because in my suggestion video GingerKittyKat48 had mentions "era style" hats, but as I finished it, it made me think of iconic Nancy Drew. So now here is my 1920's style Nancy Drew hat. I've seen almost all the Nancy Drew movies made, Emma Roberts version is my favorite, and I'm curious/excited for the newest one with actress Sophia Lillis. Do you guys like the Nancy Drew films? Let me know in the comments. Hope you guys like.

Hey everyone! I got something special for you just in time for the holidays. The company Mehousa contacted me and asked if I wanted to try their set of jumbo knitting needles. I knew you guys would be interested in these amazing needles so I said yes so that all my viewers could get to know this product. The kit comes with an awesome storage case to keep all the needles together. It comes with 3 different size jumbo needles for all those chunky yarns we have around our craft rooms.

I really am thankful that they were so kind to send me their product. They are fantastic needles. So smooth and bamboo, I love me some bamboo needles.

Thanks again Mehousa for letting me try your product. The company gave me a discount code so when you buy yourself some of these jumbo needles you can save a little too.

Hope you guys try these out because they are really good. Thanks again to the company. Viewers, stick around because I will have a project using these needles coming your way soon.

Hey everyone! I hope you guys enjoy this hat. My heart wasn't fully into this project, it just wasn't working how I wanted it to. The idea for the flower, or star, crown I saw in a stitch book, so it's not mine. But I didn't work that pattern into my hat pattern I thought of. If it resembles someone else it is purely by accident.

Hey everyone! Day 9 of our Knit-A-Thon we have the Chinese Waitress Cast on. This unique cast on is reversible, which most cast ons are not, so this will work perfectly with reversible patterns. Another good thing about this cast on it that it doesn't require a tail to cast on. This is in the knit on category so no measuring a length for your tail. Hope you guys like this one.

Remember to come back every day @ 2PM Pacific time for a new video until March 31st.

Thanks for coming back and watching!

Instructions:
Make a slip knot and place it on your needle.
Hold you needles like you would be working a row, so slip knot in your left hand.
Place your right needle next to the slip knot, under your left needle but over your working yarn.
Bring yarn up over your left needle and around your right, as to knit, pull loop through, between the stitches on your left needle.
Pull out your right needle and re-position it in your stitch.
Place your right needle, still holding on to this stitch, under your left needle and repeat.
*Bring yarn over left needle, around right needle as to knit a stitch.
Pull loop through your stitches. Now you have two on your right needle. Bind off your first stitch. Pull out your right needle and re-position your stitch. - repeat from * until desired stitches are cast on.
When done, slip last stitch on right needle onto your left one.

TIP: When starting your project, coming up to that slip knot, just drop it off and don't work it into your pattern.

Hey everyone! Day 6 of the Knit-A-Thon I have a basic video for you guys, how to bind off. This is a refresher for those hard core knitters and an instructional video for first time knitters. Not matter where your level, we all need to know how to bind off otherwise we could never finish our projects. Let me know if there is another way that you like to bind off your work in the comments section.

Remember to come back everyday at 2PM Pacific time for a new video until March 31st.

Thanks for coming back and watching!

Instructions:
When you've reached the end of your work you will need to bind off in order to finish.
With your "live" stitches on your needles, hold them as if to work another row. Stitches in the left hand and empty needle in your right.

Now work the first 2 sts on your left needle. Once you have 2 sts on your right, take your left needle and pick up that first stitch off your right needle and pull it over and off your right needle. Leaving 1 st on your right.
Now, work another stitch from your left needle. You now have 2 sts on your right needle again. Use your left needle to lift the first sts on your right needle over and off. Now we're back to 1 st on our right needle.
Repeat this process until no stitches are left on our left needle.

When only 1 sts remains, pull the last loop a little bigger, cut yarn free from the yarn ball and thread it threw this last loop. Pull to tighten and fasten off.

Now you know how to bind off.
You can work this in knit or purl or even k1 p1. Plain knit bind off is the easiest and works with most patterns.

Hey everyone! Day 4 of the Knit-A-Thon, I have this adorable tiny bunny just in time for Easter. You can knit this up so fast and use it as decoration for Easter. You can make your bunny any and every color, just have fun with it.

Make sure to come back everyday at 2PM Pacific for a new video until March 31st.

Thanks for coming back and watching!

Items Used:
Red Heart Shimmer Yarn in Ivory (for bunny)
Bernat Softee Baby Yarn in White (for tail)
Clover Bamboo Needles size 6 (4mm)
Clover Small Pom Pom Maker
Scissors
Tapestry Needle
Fiber Fill

NOTE: You can use whatever yarn you want to make your bunny and then just choose your needles according to the yarn.

Instructions:
Cast on 28 sts
Working in garter stitch (knit every row) make a square.

An easy way to determine a square is to continue knitting, when a fair length is done, fold your piece from corner to corner in a diagonal. If your cast on width is the same as your height, you're good to go.

I got a square with 55 rows.

Once you have a square bind off.

Thread a length of yarn onto your tapestry needle.
On the top half of your square, sew in a triangle. Across the top right and left corners, and a straight line threw the middle of your square. Pull on the ends of yarn and stuff the center of the triangle to form the bunny's head. Wrap yarn around head and fasten off.

Now sew the back seam of your bunny's body. Stuff bottom with fluff. Sew bottom end. Attach bunny's tail.

Hey everyone! Day 3 is how to make your own pom pom maker. I have used brand name pom pom makers and used my fingers or credit card to make a pom pom, in this video I show you how to make your own maker out of card board. Let me know in the comments what method you use to make your pom poms.

Remember, come back everyday at 2PM Pacific time for a new video until March 31st.

Thanks for coming back and watching!

Items:
Card board
A circular object
Pen
Scissors
Yarn

Instructions:
Trace your round object onto card board.
Cut out 2 circles.
Trace a smaller circle in the center, I would try using a dime as a guide. Then a wide triangle coming down from the smaller circle. Think keyhole shape.
Cut out that pattern on both circles.

Cut a 6" length of yarn and set aside.
Now hold your circles together and wrap with yarn until covered.
Slide your scissors between the cardboard pieces and cut yarn.
Holding the cardboard with your fingers so you don't loose your yarn that is wrapped around it.
Slip that 6" strand of yarn in between the card board pieces and tie a knot to secure your pom pom.
Remove the card board pieces and voila you have a pom pom.

Hey everyone! This is a little tip that I hope will be helpful to you guys. You know when you're working in the round and it leaves that awful "long" stitch where your project meets? Well, in this video I show you how to fix that with one easy step. Hope this is helpful.
Thanks for coming back and watching!

Items:
1 Set of Double Pointed (or circular) needles
Yarn for project

Instructions:
Cast on normally for your project and then add 1 st.
Make sure stitches are straight and hold work as if you were going to start your first row.
Slip the stitch from your right needle, (connected to the yarn ball), to the left needle. Now take the 2nd st from your left needle and pull it over and off the needle. Slip the first stitch on your left needle back to your right needle, pull on yarn to tighten stitch.
Continue working your project like normal.
You've easily connected your work in the round seamlessly.

NOTE: I'm not real happy with this decrease, so feel free to change it up for your own hat. I think I would have done a repeat of SSK, K to 2 sts before marker, K2tog. It would have decreased a little quicker and more uniform. But I thought I would let you guys know if you wanted another option.

Row 2: Knit
Row 3: *K25, K2tog; rep
