    • I love Etsy for buying items for crafting that my granddaughters and I can make. We have had fun with sewing, embrodiering and each year we try a new project. This would be perfect for us.

    • Oh my stars this is a very difficult question to answer for me to answer because I love to do so many different crafts. I would buy sewing patterns to make clothes for my toddler grandsons, I would buy sari silk to make beads, I would buy more embroidery patterns because the 20k that I have are just never enough!! I would buy jewelry making supplies, fabric, craft books, napkins to decorate bottles to put fairy lights in. I love making so many different crafts and love to give them away to friend, family and seniors in centers to help brighten their day, But alas this is just something I will be dreaming about because I have never ever won anything. So I wish the others that have entered much luck and to the winner go you!! Have a lot of fun!!!

  2. What an awesome choice of prize! I frequent Etsy to satisfy my Tie-Dye T-shirt collection. It is so amazing what people can do with color and gravity. I would definitely splurge on a “high-end” shirt if I won this contest. Thanks for the opportunity!

    • I’d probably choose some crafting supplies for as well as some pretty art or bookmarks or something like that.

  3. There’s currently no international mail service in my country so, if I win, I’d use the Etsy voucher to buy handmade greeting cards from U.S. sellers and request the sellers to mail the cards directly to my friends in the U.S. who are celebrating birthdays in the coming months.

Knit a Pet Bed on a Knitting Machine

I feel like I haven’t shared many knitting machine patterns lately, probably because I haven’t been using my knitting machines much lately. (I finally made space for them to live on the bookshelf in my office, and now that they have a “place” it’s almost like I forgot they existed for a while.)

But I did recently make a little cat bed, that surely would work for a small dog, too. 

This one uses two different sizes of knitting machine: a larger one (it could be any in the 40-48 needle range) and a 22 pin. 

The larger machine is used in flat panel mode to make the bottom pillow like part of the bed, while the smaller machine makes a long tube that is used around the edges as the sort of walls of the cat bed. 

For stuffing I used a bit of leftover quilt batting for the pillow, and some cut up old T-shirts for the tube. 

You can use any worsted weight yarn you like (I used two colors of Big Twist Pound+, which comes in huge skeins that weigh more than a pound). Acrylic or cotton yarn is nice for washablity, but you’ll be cranking for a while so make sure you use a yarn your machine likes so it’s not too much of a struggle. 

You can grab the pattern for this cat bed over at Our Daily Craft. I’m sorry to report the pictured is as close as a cat has gotten to it so far, but maybe your cats like to be cozy more than mine do?

If you’re looking for more options for cute handmade places for your cats and little dogs to rest, check out this roundup of knit pet beds. I still want to knit one by hand but the machine version was definitely a faster option (especially good since my cats are ungrateful).
