Hi! The 2nd vlog and blog I made on my vacation address. I was in a village or little town, Montesquieu-Volvestre, where we often did our shopping for groceries, and on one of these trips we walked around a bit, and we passed a store where they sold all kinds of household stuff. In the window I saw several crafting supplies, and there I saw this mini weaving loom from Clover. Well, as a person that loves weaving a lot, I couldn’t resist to buy it, it just had to be added to my collection 🙂 . The next day I unpacked it at theRead More →

Do you also wonder sometimes how the color changes go in a ball of yarn with multiple colors? I do! Frequently! You can see these beautiful colors on top and at the bottom of the ball, but how changes one color into the next? Does it go gradually? Or just a big jump from one color into another? It’s not always clear. If you’re lucky there’s a picture on the band of the ball of a project that’s made with the specific yarn, so you can have an idea. And we’re lucky to have the internet nowadays, where you can perhaps find something, but it’sRead More →

For a while the last video in my pin loom weaving series! I will definitely be back with more, but I’m so into crochet and knitting at the moment, and making my own designs, that I want to do that first. Well, that’s what the Craftsteacher website and YouTube channel is all about: all kinds of crafts. I hope you enjoy a lot of different crafts too, it’s so fun to do something else now and then. At the moment I’m working on a lovely honeycomb shawl. And a crochet wrap with a simple wavy pattern. I made the video’s for them, and they areRead More →

What’s been happening Hi you all!!!! It maybe looks like there isn’t happening very much, but I’ve been working on some crochet and knitting projects, related to a yarn review. I had reasons to put part of it out on my Dutch channel with some priority, because I wanted to support my favorite yarn supplier (De Wolman). So that took some time that I couldn’t spend with you here. If you’re curious, you can go to my Dutch website (www.dehandwerkjuf.nl) or see the instructions for the crochet shawl I designed here. I didn’t translate it there yet, and it will be here on this websiteRead More →

I’ve promised a couple of times that it would come, and here it is! The video on how to weave a triangle! You may have already seen the tutorial I did about it on this website (see here). It is so easy to do. And it makes it possible to do so much more projects! I love triangular shawls, and you can do that by making squares together with triangular parts. You could even do just triangular shapes, and piece them together, just like you only had a small tri-loom! That could really give a fun effect! So, give that a try also. So, hereRead More →

The weather is bad, it’s raining, it’s cold, no sunshine… So, time to compensate  🙂 . Why not take a look at your yarn stash, that always makes me very happy 🙂 , and find that beautiful yarn you once bought, and didn’t know what to do with.  Well, I have a great idea here! Make a nice warm shawl, to cuddle up with, to wear when you really haveRead More →

I promised I would publish this video soon, so here it is. Part 2 of working with finer yarns, going into detail on doing a crochet border. Of course you could decide to just take the weave of the loom without a crochet border, but if you decide to do one, here are 2 tricks to help you do that. You now have 2 threads around each nail, so you have to handle that in a certain way. It also depends on which side you’re working, so I show you how to deal with both situations. Wishing you again fun watching this!Read More →

Help! I made a mistake! Is there a way to fix this? And then you will get to that moment that you have done your weaving, and you’ve maybe even added a crochet border, and you look at it, and you are like: “Oh noooo!!! Something has gone wrong!”. Well, in this video I show that all is not lost, and that you can easily fix weaving errors. All you have to do, is cut out the row where the error is, and needle weave in a new strand of yarn! When you have done a crochet border, like in the video, you just haveRead More →

Hi everyone from a Winter Wonderland. It is snowing here! Very very early this year, to my opinion. Time to make warm shawls. Or wraps to keep us warm and feel comfortable. Weaving squares and triangles (see here) on a pin loom can be used to make these. I don’t have worked out patterns for these here on this website, but you can probably find enough examples on the internet to inspire you! For now: a new video, about finishing edges with a crochet border. It’s optional, because you can decide not to use crochet borders, and just sew blocks together. But a crochet borderRead More →
