Fabric buttons coming this way soon!

Hi Blogger ville, sorry I have been away for awhile, I was just catching up with my social life and doing some research. So What did I find? Did I mention I was in to making my own fabric buttons? Well, I bought this DIY fabric button making kit that allows you to easily make all sorts of cute buttons. And I am obsessed with everything fabric buttons now!
So.. what is in the pipe line you asked? Expect to see more statement pieces and cute buttons on my etsy shop. I  was researching and I am inspired to make my own DIY rubber stamps and stamp on to the cloth and make them into buttons. I just cant find the materials. You see miss chief elf here does not own a car, and its a little time consuming to go to these places to hunt for stuff, I probably would just have to get it off online. So stay tuned ok, many exciting things coming this way!

So how have you guys been! well I had a tiny breeak the past 3 weeks! One of my bestie was in town.. so was out and about alot. I won't really say that alot has happened this few weeks, a bit of shopping here and there. Me and Amanda have been hunting for vintage stuff lately and been addicted to online shopping! I am trying to source for more lovely materials to make! Just to give you guys a heads up guys.. we would soon be selling fabric covered buttons and plushies soon at our glucklich store!You can do so much with the buttons! Sew little dresses for your babies or dolls, have your own plushie project.. or  even make your own accessories. Also, the chief elf bought a mini sewing machine.. so we will try to put the machine to good use.. but honestly.. our little elves really prefer to hand sew :) Anyway! have a good weekend, will post fabric buttons items on etsy soon!

Knitting is the new clubbing!

The elves at glücklich have been enjoying their knitting as they recently recruited 3 new little knitty elves. Today was their first knitting session. I must say, these elves are truely fast learners.. though a little eager, they seem to be coping well. We had fun today going yarn ball shopping and getting our hands to do the work!

To ensure you truely enjoy your knitting process i feel that are important things to take note of:
1) Get a simple yarn with normal thickness (not to slim or thick)
2) Make sure that if you are getting a few balls of the same yarn, check that the dye lot number is the same - ths is  to ensure that your color is even
3) check your yarn ball for commended needle size, but i believe you can increase or decrease the needle, the bigger the needle size the bigger and looser the holes.
4) try not to start with needles that are too small, when u are more experience and comfortable then use smaller needles.


Casting on:

Like when you construct a building, you will need a foundation for your knitting. This step is call  casting on. Casting on is the process whereby you construct your first layer of stitches. I belive there are many method to cast on , one of the methods is called long tail cast on method. If you want to make a scarf, cast on the number of loops your require. depending on the thickness of your yarn, the thinner the yarn, the more loops. I did about 18 - 20 for a big wool yarn.

English Knit Stitch & English Purl stitch:

Secondly you should learn the english knit stitch & the  english purl stitch. Technically these are only 2 stitches that you will really only use. There are many patterns for you to learn also can mix and match the stitches to obtail the different looks. To make a scarf, if you want the stitches to appear neat and constant on one side, you should purl one row and when you finish and start on the new row, you knit the whole row and when you start on the new row you purl again. Remember, you are alternating the stitches.

Clearing mistakes:

Ok!! Now that you have tried a few stitches, you might have a few mistakes, you might have dropped a few stitches along the way, not to worry, if there is a will there is a way, watch this video on how you can pick up ur stitch. picking up your dropped stitch

Closing & ending:

Once you have finished a ball of yarn and decided that that is the length or enough knitting! Watch this video it will teach you how to bind off. Binding off is the process of closing of the end of your knitting.

We will be back for more tips in future! Enjoy your knitting!
