In this video Myles shows how to do a long-tail cast-on. In order to do this cast-on you need to make sure to have at least 4 times the finished width of your project in yarn length to have enough to create your stitches.

We've received lots of new and exciting quilt groups here at the store so thought we would give a sneak peek of some of them!

Here are some of the pieces from Tula Pink's new group Slow & Steady that we have in stock. The group is a combination of teals, purples, blues and of course pinks. They are some large scale prints as well as smaller repeats such as dots or diamonds. 

This beginner friendly project is made from durable wool melton cloth and a combination of 4 cotton prints that you can use to express your personality. This long lasting essential can be used daily and also makes a great gift!

Subtle Sophistication – Blues have turned down the volume.  Where we were seeing deep teal and turquoise in recent seasons, we are now seeing dreamier smoky blues and washed denim shades.  These are paired beautifully with a shade often referred to as “birch” – an elegant shade somewhere between grey and taupe.

Among the many patterns and colours that are presented to us, we start to see trends emerging for home décor. They are not always new, but they are often interpreted in new and fresh ways. This is especially true of the trend of fabrics featuring Asian inspired motifs. Whether inspired by traditional artwork or ceramics, the fabrics have a fresh appeal.

With Halloween just over a month away, we thought we would share some easy costume how-to ideas. This stretchy bootcover tutorial we made went along with a superhero video series we created about 2 years ago. It has been a fairly popular video so we thought we would repost it!
