 Don't be deceived by the name Knitting Daily TV, this Public Television program reaches out to
crafters of all needle arts, including crocheters. On this newest season, which
begins airing today, editor of Interweave
Crochet magazine Editor Marcy Smith joins the show's crochet expert Kristin Omdahl
on each episode for the Chain Reaction Afghan Project crochet-along. That's 13
episodes of crochet tips and techniques that will improve your skills and leave
you with a gorgeous afghan you can keep or donate to charity.
Join the Crochet Reaction Afghan
Crochet-Along!
The Chain Reaction Afghan Project is a collaborative blanket that features 20
crocheted squares designed by both well-known crochet designers and
up-and-coming crocheters from our very own Crochet Me online community. The
entire afghan pattern is available for free from the KnittingDailyTV.com
website, so you can crochet right alongside Marcy and Kristin throughout the
season. This afghan includes various crochet techniques, from simple to
advanced, and Marcy and Kristin walk you through the steps of creating this
one-of-a-kind afghan. Plus, they'll take a look at modifications you can make
to the afghan such as color options and different layouts for your crocheted
squares, so you can make this afghan uniquely yours. There are even great
finishing techniques to put the afghan together.
 Plus, there's more
crochet to love!
Knitting Daily TV Series 700 also
includes more crochet in the 13 episode lineup. There's a how-to segment with
Kristin on seamless crochet and a look at crochet designs from the upcoming
book Best of Interweave Crochet with
Marcy Smith.
Also included in this season are quick tips for
all fiber artists, such as using felted swatches to make a patchwork blanket,
tips for buttonhole placement, in-depth looks at yarns available on the market
today, and even information about mentoring programs that teach the next
generation of crocheters the needle crafts.
With so much crochet this season, be sure to check your local listings for Knitting Daily TV in your area. Or,
purchase the 4-DVD set of Knitting Daily
TV Series 700, which is available on the Crochet Me Shop.
Best,
Annie
