  2. Cool. I am always getting painted hands because I need to turn the project. This would come in handy.

  4. holycowboy… I was thinking about making something like this, and I would LOVE to get my hands on this freebee!

  8. This would be so great to have. Not only would I use it…but also my kids could use it for their art. Thanks for an opportunity to win!

  9. I have a house full of projects with fingerprints on them, enough to know I need a Craft-N-Spin! I like to put my own stamp on things, but I’d prefer this to be in a creative sense.

  13. Wow, could I use one of those! I do quite a bit of paint and polymer clay projects. Having to turn my artwork while working on it has always been awkward and messy. Craft N Spin is a terrific idea!

  17. Oh!
    This would be awesome for painting without accidentally smudging the wet paint, especially on sculpted pieces. Count me in!

  18. I could have used that at christmas. I had a flat mat with spikes, but have no idea where it went. Would be nice to be able to paint pieces without the paints smudging.

  21. I would love one of these. I have a limited crafting space as it is, and when I have to rotate manually all the glue/paint/embellishments come off (& get on me) thanks for the giveaway

  27. As a mother of two children in school we are constantly working on a variety of projects. The new craft and spin looks like it will be perfect for handling craft with a light touch and minimal mess!

  30. This is fabulous. I would really love to have one. I do lots of crafts with my granddaughters
    and it would be a great tool for them to use.

  52. This is one of those fabulous “now-why-didn’t-I-think-of-that” products. Definitely a cool idea! Thanks for the great giveaway!

  53. What a clever idea! I do crafting too and never am patient enough to wait for the paint to dry on one side before touching it to turn it over! lol Thank you for such a nice give-a-way chance!

  57. This is an awesome idea!! Thank you so much for the opprotunity to win one of these. This would be great not only for me but whenever the grandkids come and do crafts at my house they could use it too. : )

  58. This is a wonderful invention that I would appreciate being considered for. I could be good word of mouth advertisement for it too. : )

  59. This looks cool! Very much like the spinning platforms you use for decorating cakes. I never would have thought to apply this to everyday crafts, but it makes so much sense!

  60. This is an awesome invention!!! Thank you so much for the opprotunity to win this. Not only would it be great for me, but whenever my grandkids came over to do crafts they could use it too.

  66. This would be wonderful to win, I can think of many projects that it would work perfectly for.
    Thank you for giving me a chance to win.

  72. The Craft n Spin would be perfect for me. I do some brush stroke painting on objects and some fiber art work also and it would be useful for both.

  73. This is brilliant. I’ve been using make-shift versions for years. None were as good as this. Thanks.

  75. This is really a great gadget…I just signed up for February’s Thing a Day and would love to have this…

  78. This product looks amazingly functional! I would really like to win, because right now I get so frustrated when I am crafting, especially having to move the object around so much!

Add Mushrooms to Your Knits with these Fun Knitting Patterns

A few years ago I wrote a post that was full of patterns for knit mushrooms, but I don’t think I ever did a post that was knitting patterns with mushrooms on them, so today’s the day. 

I love the Fungi Beanie from Jacki Bean, which calls for worsted weight yarn and uses duplicate stitch to add the mushrooms and other details. I think the colors she used for the design are tonal/multicolor so it doesn’t use as many colors as it looks like, but you can use whatever red, green, brown and white yarn you have in your stash for those details. 

How about some mushroom socks? The Magic Toadstool sock form Stone Knits includes a ring of mushrooms around the leg, contrasting heel and toe and a little more colorwork at the toe for extra cuteness. As shown it uses four colors and comes in three sizes. 

Or there’s the Fairy Ring Socks from Katie Green, which have mushrooms of two sizes on the legs, plus a bit of wavy grass. They have a contrasting cuff, heel and toe and some colorwork flecks in the body of the sock as well. This one is available in eight sizes to fit everyone from a baby to an XL adult. 

This trippy cowl from Hunt Hand Knits looks like a lot of fun to knit. The Fungus Among Us Cowl is shown using four colors of DK weight yarn, though you can do it with as few as two if you’d rather. 

Stitch some mushroom mittens with this cute pattern from Holly C Watson. This design uses three colors, and it’s shown with a self-striping yarn on the mushroom caps, which makes the colors change without you having to do any work. The pattern is charted but it’s a pretty easy repeat. The mittens are one size. 

If you don’t feel like knitting mushrooms but still want to give your project a touch of the forest, the Toadstools Cardigan from Julie Taylor may be what you’re looking for. It’s stitched as a plain cardigan worked in DK weight yarn and sized for newborns up to 4 years old. The mushrooms are added with embroidery and the pattern includes the design, which you can trace onto water soluble stabilizer to stitch the mushrooms onto your sweater. Or anything else you want. You can find this pattern on Ravelry.
