Red Rabbit Show – LA

July 15, 2009 by Vikram Goyal

red-rabbit2Red Rabbit Arts & Crafts Market was started by a group of friends, all artists and artisans, who would get together regularly for raucous lunches to discuss all things art and craft related. After the success of the first show held last December in La Cañada Flintridge, they’ve decided to hold the next edition of the Market at the wonderful 127-acre Los Angeles Arboretum in Arcadia. This Arts & Crafts Market will feature local Southern California Artists and Crafters.  Included will be unique works in glass, ceramics, jewelry, fiber arts, metal, mixed media and other handmade items.  There will also be kids crafts and lots of demos going on!  A great raffle is included, and free goody bags go to the first 100 attendees.

Knit a Linen Stitch Hot Pad

Linen stitch is one of my favorite knitting stitch patterns that, every time I use it in a project, I think about how I don’t use it often enough. 

It’s an easy stitch to make, with slip stitches done with the yarn held to the front of the work on the right/front side and to the back on the wrong/back side, which makes the strand of yarn a visible part of the pattern. 

It also makes a fabric that is thick and looks kind of like a woven fabric.

I recently used linen stitch to make a double-thick pot holder, which I worked in a kind of interesting way. I didn’t want to have to do any sewing on the project, so I started it from a crochet cast on and picked up stitches from the side of the cast on to make the hot pad all in one piece in the round with the edge sealed. 

This requires working on two circular needles, which is another technique I don’t use that often and am always reminded how much I like it when I do. 

The combination of double thickness and the stitch pattern makes for a hot pad that’s already pretty thick, but I also added a bit of old towel to the inside before I closed up the end to make it super thick and extra protective for your surfaces. 

I found the engineering challenge of this construction method to be a lot of fun, but you could also just knit it as a tube (casting on twice as many stitches as I did) and sew up the ends by hand when the knitting is done. Either way you’ve got a useful and pretty addition to your kitchen, whether you work it in a solid color, stripes or as a stash busting project will all your cotton odd balls. 

You can grab the pattern over at Our Daily Craft, or check it out on Ravelry.
