  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!

Apple Knitting Patterns for Fall and Back to School

It feels like it’s too early to be thinking about back to school, but as I write this my daughter has just a couple of weeks of summer left! So let’s get in that school and fall knitting spirit by looking at some apple knitting projects. 

If you have a 22 needle circular knitting machine, knitting an apple is one of the easiest things you can do. I have an apple pattern over at Our Daily Craft that will take you just a few minutes to knit and they’re a great addition to your fall decor. 

Apple hats are a classic, and whether you want to knit a hat that looks like an apple or one with apples on it, we’ve got you covered. For hats that look like apples check out the rolled brim version from Emma Crochet Design 4 U, which uses worsted weight yarn and comes in sizes for kids of all ages; and the ribbed brim version from Hand Knit Hugs. This one also calls for worsted weight yarn and comes in four kids sizes. Both include a stem and leaf. 

If you’d rather have apples on your hat, try the Red Apple Hat from Little Red Window. This one is sized from newborn to 2T and calls for four colors of worsted weight yarn. 

How about apple socks? You’ll find Ariel Chang’s Apple Picnic Socks as a free download on Ravelry. These use three colors of sock yarn and come in three sizes. Stone Knits also a pair of stripey apple socks that show the inside of the apple. These also have three sizes but they use six colors total, with the main color being a self-striping yarn. 

If you want a little apple accessory for the house, the apple potholder from Nifty Knitter Designs is cute and a great way to practice double knitting. It uses two colors and you’ll find the colors in the reverse on the other side. The pattern only uses about 50 yards of each color of worsted weight yarn, so it’s a great use for odd balls, too. 

Once you’ve got your double knitting skills sorted you can also try the double knit apple scarf from Crow and Chai Shop. The Winter Apples scarf is shown in red and gold, but you can use whatever colors you like. There are apples, stars and random stitches in the design, which calls for DK weight yarn. There’s also a matching fingerless glove pattern.
