Welcome to Yarn and Stitchery Alcove's yarn blogging site

We're interested in hearing what you have to say about the latest yarns or patterns you have been using. It's always exciting, and sometimes very challenging, to find new and different colors to use.

Over the last three years, Yarn and Stitchery Alcove has grown considerably, relying on you, the customer, to give honest feedback in the yarns that you'd like to see us carry. We have done our best, and will continue to do so, to carry those yarn brands and colors at very reasonable prices! Stop by www.yarnandstitcheryalcove.com for high quality yarns at affordable pricing.

Making it easier to find your way

Often, knitters and crocheters get frustrated because they've lost track of that little thread the patterns tell you to use to "mark the end of the row", etc. Having crocheted for over 30 years now, I can still relate to new beginners trying to tackle the art of learning just where the rows end and the next ones need to begin, or how to preserve and keep your patterns in tact to use again.

First of all, I'd like to add that it shouldn't be that hard. I believe as we go along, we tend to forget the small things that can make all of the difference in whether the baby booties you are creating now has 50 sts or 48 and looks lopsided.

Yarn and Stitchery Alcove now has a Tips and Hints section, which our passion is for you as the customer, but also a "fellow knitter or crocheter" to share these great hints of simple tracking tips you and have used throughout the years with others so they can avoid the agony you had to go through to learn. Sharing is a wonderful thing, especially in knowing the frustration of once being "new" and wondering these same things.
