Meet Me At Oxfam


I am excited, delighted and proud to announce that I have been asked to contribute a series of guest posts for no less than the Oxfam Fashion Blog!

Focusing on creative DIY and sustainable knits, I get to spend the next couple of months researching and putting together tutorials, how-to's and any other resources I can muster to (hopefully) inspire the Oxfam readers to discover the joy and satisfaction of putting in the time and love (and minimal monies) for a homemade holiday season.

My first post is a tutorial on how to make the above intricate fairisle hot water bottle covers, with not a knitting needle in sight!  I don't think any household can have too many hotties, and these are so easy peasy and super quick to make, and always an appreciated and useful gift.

  4. Weeell, this is three years out and was wondering if you could post the link for your hot water bottle covers...when I click on the links above, I think they go to the general page where chronologically, it shows the most recent posting.

    I'm going to try a search. I looked already in "fashion" but didn't find it.

    I LOVE those above and have so many sweaters..mostly felted..that I've saved to do items like this. Did one for my daughter years ago, but knitted that one.
