KNITTING (AND CROCHET) DAILY TV

by

Does your television get this show ‘Knitting Daily‘?  Mine doesn’t.  So, when I saw these DVD’s, I jumped at the chance to see what I had been missing.

Well, seems like I was missing quite a lot.  The episodes are heavily knitting, but each one has a segment entitled ‘Crochet Corner’ with Kristen Omdahl.  From the beginning, Kristen starts with the basics of crochet.  From there, she moves to more complex crochet.

But, don’t overlook the knitting segments even if you’re not a knitter (which I’m not).  There is still useful information there for crocheters – information about yarns, about style and fit, about color.

I find the shows to be well produced and enjoyable.  Wish I got the TV show, but that’s not happening as I only have the most basic cable program.  So, instead, I’ll be relying on these satisfying DVD’s.

    Knitting Daily is shown on PBS stations, but each station decides if they will show it and when. If you want to have it in your area, call your local PBS station and let them know!

  3. I get this show 1ce a week & love, love, love it!! Wish it was an hour show instead of 30 minutes. Also, adore host Eunny Jang–she’s awesome! Wish she would give beg knitting lessons like Kristen is doing for crochet. Eunny is so fast when she knits, even her
    slo-mo is too speedy for me to catch. Also, not knowing alot about knitting doesn’t help. Show is fab & I hope it continues! Thanks!

  5. I’m not a fan I think they try and cram to much into one show and no one learns a thing. All the guests way to much for one show.
    Eunny is not my favorite as a teacher, I thought Needle arts with Shay had a better format and the guests really taught you something. Sorry I know you get only good feedback, But I would like to see longer segments and fewer Eunny spotlights. Let’s get some seasoned designers/knitters like Kathleen Sams back into the spotlight and please stop featuring mostly wool yarns can’t use them alergic. Thank you

Sunseeker Pullover – Crochet Pattern

If you’ve been searching for the perfect crochet top to take you from sunny afternoons to warm summer evenings, the Sunburst Tank from Knit Picks is a winner. This breezy tank is simple, stylish, and has just the right amount of detail to make it special.

The design features a clean, classic tank silhouette with a slightly relaxed fit, making it flattering on many body types. The crochet stitches add texture and visual interest, while the lightweight construction keeps it comfortable and breathable. It’s one of those pieces that looks just as good with denim cutoffs as it does tucked into a flowy skirt.

What makes this pattern shine is its versatility. Work it up in soft neutrals for a timeless wardrobe piece, or experiment with bright cottons and summer blends for a fun, beachy vibe. You can even layer it under cardigans or dusters when the weather cools down, giving it year-round appeal.

Skill level is adventurous beginner to intermediate. The pattern is approachable with repetitive stitch work, yet interesting enough to keep you engaged as you crochet.

If your summer wardrobe needs a handmade touch that’s wearable, chic, and endlessly customizable, the Sunburst Tank is a must-make.
