I'm not sure these bracelets will become as popular as my 2010 summer bracelets , but they sure are equally fun to make! When I was looking for friendship bracelet ideas for our school's upcoming summer fest, I came across a 'knitting fork'. Since I don't have a knitting fork but liked the technique, I wanted to try and make a fork with what I had. Coincidentally, I made a Popsicle-stick-catapult just a couple of days ago, also for our school's craft fair and I figured that was the way to go. A Popsicle-stick-catapult turned into a knitting fork! Why not?! Talking about a multipurpose tool! The only change I made here is that I used two sticks for each leg to make it a little sturdier and I re-positioned the sticks slightly to get a fork-like tool. I limited myself to bracelets but the possibilities are of course endless. I'm thinking of necklaces, belts, bag handles... Use your imagination! Both, making the fork and the knitting, are very simple which make...

I found out yesterday afternoon about the tragic death of Kathreen and her husband Rob. We never met in person but it feels like I lost a dear friend. She was one of the first ones to link to my early tutorials. Later she asked me if I wanted to become a contributor to the Crafternoon series and her kids magazine Action Pack. My oldest daughter became penpals with her daughter. We're devastated. Our thoughts and deepest sympathy go out to Kathreen and Rob's children, her family and friends.
