To tell the truth I find Granny Squares somewhat boring, but I find this Granny spiral not bad at all ;-)

Yarn Painted Greeting Card
I find this idea of a greeting card with yarn painting wonderful, also, because you can use up your old mesh vegetable bags ;-)
Knitting? Easy!
“Knitting is easy, even grandmothers can do it!”
A lot of people seem to think like this, and one of them presents here an instructional video.
It seems that it’s not this easy ;-)
By the way: staples are not compulsory when knitting ;-))
Scarf Tying Guide 2
I presented a scarf tying guide before, this one here is an absolut wonderful video, even if you’re not interested in tying scarves yourself ;-)

Addendum: if you try to see this video from Germany it won’t probably show because of the argument with the Gema ;-(

Magazine Reed Box
I’ve often seen such magazine reed crafts before, but here at the magazine reed box for the first time I found it very good explained :))
Plaster Tiles with Leaves
I found this idea really great: cast plaster tiles where you lay leaves in which will give a beautiful pattern :)
In the end it gives a similar result to the carved plaster plaques, it’s only so much easier this way ;-)

Notes Hedgehog
Well, isn’t the little notes hedgehog great?
Simply fold the pages of a book ;-)
Thank you, Sylvia, for the tip! :)
If you don’t like the notes hedgehog so much, look at the card holder or the card holder from fork, resp., perhaps they’re more your cup of tea ;-)

Self-made Ball Winder
If you really dye your own yarn you have to wind your wool afterwards.
That can take quite some time (I speak from my own experience) and so a self-made ball winder would perhaps be of help ;-)
