Here's what Andrea had to say about her tutorial: ....I have been showing my students how to use a flower loom. The loom featured in this tutorial is actually part of a kit that I found in a toy shop! You can buy them online. I have seen them advertised as Vintage and the idea does come from the 1970's and I shall come back to this point tomorrow. Many that I have seen advertised as vintage, along with a vintage price, is not always accurate and are in fact brand new. So do be careful and do a little price comparing first.

Here's what Carina had to say about her tutorial:  So! Here we go with the granny triangle tutorial. Did you master the magic circle yet? Ready to go?

I've probably told you before that I have never been able to master the art of crocheting.  I tried it as a teenager and just could never get it.   Perhaps I should try again.  If I decide to perhaps I'll start with Carina Envoldsen-Harris's Crochet Magic Ring Tutorial.  Enjoy!

Here's what Carina had to say about her tutorial: Mmm... happy colours! Ok, so there's a granny triangle tutorial in the works, but first I'm going to show you how to make a magic ring. This is a very handy thing to know how to make. Not just for granny triangles! Why is it handy? Because it can make centres of your work look a lot better. You're basically crocheting over an adjustable ring which you can pull tight. By the way, this is the yarn I use.

And despite its name, there is actually no magic involved whatsoever. I am sorry to disappoint you!
