This Week in Crafty TV with Vickie


Knitty Gritty on HGTV

When: Friday February 27th.  6:30am ET
Portable knitting projects don’t have to be boring! Knitwear designer and author of Yarnplay Lisa Shobhana Mason shares a few colorful and unique projects that are small in scale. She demonstrates a simple broken ribbed scarf and matching hat with a band in the same stitch pattern. She then shares her pattern for a bright seed stitch clutch purse with a stockinette panel for buttons.
Stylelicious on DIY Network
When: February 24th.  4:30am ET

Wrist wear is what it is all about today. Host Jennifer Perkins cooks things up by melting vinyl records to make them into a wrist cuff. Host Vickie Howell introduces us to leatherworker Mark Stowe, who has a rockin’ take on the all-purpose leather cuff. Host Jen Arntson incorporates a traditional leatherworking style, called trapunto, on vinyl to create a wrist strap bag.
When: February 26th.  4:30am ET

The Stylelicious ladies create fashions out of dollar store finds. Host Vickie Howell creates a corset top out of washcloths. Host Karly Hand makes a skirt out of an umbrella, and Host Jennifer Perkins makes a purse out of a photo album and toy snakes.

Episode: As You Like It
When: February 28th.  4:30am ET
Stylelicious takes things personal as we add individuality to your wardrobe. Host Vickie Howell revamps a vintage tie by adding a peek-a-boo iron-on transfer. Host Hope Perkins jazzes up old jeans with rubber stamps and fabric paint. Anne Marie Beard invites us to a purse party, where party-goers order purses to their own personal specifications.

Sorry about the quick cut-and-paste post without photos.  Yesterday was a rough day–trying to recuperate.
More later!
