In the Wal-mart craft section they use to (or if they still do. I can’t seem to find them) have a cross stitch kit that came with the fabric, string, pattern, and needle. It was in a clear plastic wrap. On the front is was dark blue on the top and it had a picture of whatever the pattern was completed. And on the back you could see the fabric and string and everything. I want to know what was the name of that company and if Wal-mart still sells the product. PLEASE HELP!!!

The item number is EPX 169 ZEBRA. I do know this has been discontinued. Can anyone help me find a kit? The designer is Collette Rushton by Anchor. FLEUR DE LIS

If the kit has been discontinue and if you know who the designer
is than you might need to contact Anchor and find out how you
can still get that kit sent to you. Good-luck.

Is knitting with crochet hook faster then knitting with knitting needles?

I am planning to make a baby blanket. I can use the bamboo needles/circular needles I have . But I wanted to know If I knit a pattern (may be basic one) with crochet hook, is that faster?

Thanks

If you’re using a crochet hook, that’s usually called crocheting, unless you’re knitting with the handle part of two crochet hooks.

If you’re asking if CROCHETING is faster than knitting, the answer is "yes – usually." The blanket will be thicker and will use more yarn, but crocheting is usually quicker. Which technique to use is decided by what final product you want.

There’s a great website for baby patterns in both knit and crochet: www.bevscountrycottage.com

building a craft website so i can put all my plastic canvas and cross stitching and more on there so people can look at them and enjoy
