Funkasonic Knit Along Wrap Up

February 1, 2016 Leave a Comment

Get your hands on the Funkasonic Mittens & Mukulks patterns on Ravelry & find tutorials to help you knit them on HandsOccupied.com!

Sadly, the Funkasonic Knit Along has come to an end, friends. This has been a really fun series, and after over 1500 views of the new tutorial videos for the knit along, dozens of Instagram posts, I’d say this was a success! The idea behind this knit along was to get knitters to learn some new skills to kick off their knitting years, and to stretch myself as a designer to release a really funky and colorful pattern. Based on feedback and lots of comments in the Ravelry group, I think we all made those goals together!

The Top 5 Funkasonic Pictures

In no particular order, here are my favorite pictures from the Funkasonic Knit Along! A lot of knitters were new to the Old Norwegian Cast On and two color brioche knitting, and many of you shared pictures of your first brioche successes on Ravelry. It was so cool to watch the pics roll in – here are my favorites. :)

Finally organizing & putting the finishing touches Finally organizing & putting the finishing touches on my home studio. After losing my studio space last fall, it’s feels really great to *occupy* this new space all the way. 😉
.
I started by removing general clutter & returning straggler supplies from various WIPs, videos & design deadlines to their homes. Next, I hung a third peg board in the space - this one is mostly for display and less for organizing tools or projects. For the first time ever, I’m displaying projects from my book, plus a couple other faves. (The best thing about designing more yarn crafts besides knit & crochet is that I have some really fun -and delightfully pettable 😆- samples around.) I finished by adding a square dowel to my small supply storage tower to keep it from tipping over, plus re-arranging and de-cluttering the closet. 
.
This cleaner space already has me feeling so much more creative and less overwhelmed. Now to find a safe spot in the basement for the tower of project samples in Rubbermaid tubs I liberated from my WIPs closet. Also why are there five?! 
.
Here’s to keeping it clean for a few weeks! 🧶

How to knit a one-row buttonhole 🧶 . Sweater k How to knit a one-row buttonhole 🧶 
.
Sweater knitters, listen up! Learn how to knit a buttonhole over the course of a single row of knitting, a.k.a. a one-row buttonhole. In this technique, a combination of binding off and casting on stitches on opposite sides of the work creates a symmetrical, stretchy buttonhole. 
.
The time limit on these is 90 seconds, so this quick tutorial is perfect to save for future reference. (Did you know you can make folders of saved items like tutorials? 👩🏼‍🏫) 
.
If you’re brand new to the technique or want to see this demonstration slower and more in-depth, my bl0g and You/2be are the place to be. Thanks for watching & let me know if you have any questions or requests for future tutorials in the comments. ☺️

It was quiet last week as I’ve been working on a It was quiet last week as I’ve been working on a few behind the scenes projects, including filming a bunch. The goal: tutorials most weeks!
.
I also put some time into neglected design projects, in particular the pattern collection I began working on back in 2022. As I work on the samples, you’ll be seeing some sneak peeks here and there in my feed. ☺️
.
The other thing occupying my time: I got an iPad to try digital planning and keep my design notes more organized, not to mention digitized. (Paper scribbling just ain’t it after 12 years.) If anyone has tips for how to make the most of digital planning as a crafter / knitter, I’d love to hear them! Accounts to follow, apps, must-know hacks for crafters - I’m excited to learn it all! 👩🏼‍🏫
