Craft Finds

Amy from Craft Chi has posted a great tutorial for making a Rope Rug.

It looks pretty simple and the end result is stunning!

As it's October, pumpkins are all around. Extreme Pumpkins is a website that showcases the best, the weirdest and the scariest in carved pumpkins, tips on carving and recipes for using up the remains.

Kendra has posted this fabulous Crochet Clock on her site Knit Go Home.

She's even stitched on cute buttons to mark out the hours. I'm left thinking, what can't you crochet?

Here's a great tutorial for making a 12-sided calendar. Follow the instructions and select your desired language, download and print out the template and then follow the origami instructions to put the calendar together.

This would make a great desk toy!

Save Knitting is an awesome website that teaches knitting techniques and stitches. The members of the site can improve it by editing it and adding their own information.

I particularly like the section that teaches stitching through animations.

It's coming up to the time of year where it's too cold to not wear gloves.

So, if you're a fast knitter, this pattern for Greenaway Fingerless Gloves from The Purl Bee may just be what your hands are begging for!

Candace has posted a great tutorial on Craft Daisies for turning an old coffee canister in to a pumpkin.

I've never seen a monster made of spaghetti before, but if I did, I bet it would look a lot like the one's on The Church Of The Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Start worshipping the monster yourself by following their pattern to knit a Flying Spaghetti Monster Hat.

Here's a great way to organize your bills and files so that they're easy to find at a glance. Cut off company logos and icons from envelopes or spare letters and stick them to your filing system tabs. Next time you're looking for a specific bill, your eye will jump straight to the companies icon. Check it out at Aaron's blog.

Jenna Hurry has posted a great pattern for making a Lása Shawl Headband on MagKnits.

It's very pretty, but you better be quick with your knitting or you'll miss out on the last of this year's sun.
