How to Thumb Purl Video

Videos: I am now providing monthly videos on knitting techniques. This month's video is: "How to Thumb Purl".

Note: There are currently two Kiki Geiger Youtube channels. The channel with videos for my classes won't let me access it to add or edit videos but they are still viewable. The one with only two videos at this time is where I will create and add new videos. In the meantime, I put all my videos here. Just enter "video" in the Search box, and they will all pull up.

Have a great summer and I will post new patterns as they come out. Happy Knitting!

Blossom Cocoon

Happy February and here's a new pattern - available free for a introductory period. An easy pattern that can be knit either in the round or flat. Both directions are given. This is beautiful in any baby yarn (size 3 yarn), simply choose the yarn you want to showcase and let the Stockinette stitch do the rest. (Machine knitters can easily convert the flat knitting directions.)

Beautiful Iceland Video

If you didn't make it to Iceland this year & love wool yarn, here's a 3+ minute video from Lopi Yarns on the process from sheep to finished yarn. The scenery is breathtaking, the animals well-cared for and an inside look at the process. Well worth watching.

Christmas Tree Card

To celebrate the upcoming holidays, here's a new pattern, hot off the press and again, FREE! Great for putting on tags as well, and if you make two, you can make a lightweight ornament. Best of all, it's fast and easy enough for beginners. And like potato chips, you'll probably make more than one. Happy Knitting.
