Follow us on Pinterest!



You can now follow Knit-o-Matic on Pinterest!

What is "Pinterest", you say? Pinterest is a free web site that enables you to organize information visually. You create virtual pinboards (kind of like light boxes), that draw images from the internet, and browse pinboards created by other people. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests.

We are using our pinboards to organize knitting & crochet patterns we like, as well as tutorials, and inspiration. Our focus is on projects that have patterns that are readily available, either for free or as a paid digital download. We're always on the lookout for new patterns and are in the process of filling in our pinboards 


You can follow by clicking on this link right now.  You can also go to our website at knitomatic.com and click on the red "P" button at the top of the page, like the one above. There is also a button on the right side of this blog. 

As always, you can find us at Knitomatic.com!

Knitted Baskets


 I love the idea of knitted housewears, and I love this knitted basket! I think you can use any yarn  with lots of body and needles that will give it a tight tension, and you`re off to the races!
