Knitted Rabbits
We chat to Val, give you a chance to win the book and learn how-to knit a rabbit with a carrot.
I am a self taught passionate crafter, learning to knit at just 5 years old. I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t knitting something for someone. My love of crafting grew and I progressed from knitting for family and friends to knitting for designers and spinning companies, making test garments and pattern checking. After some time I began to design small projects. I then contacted various magazines and offered my services as a designer. I was very fortunate to be accepted and from then on my career took off.
We head to McMinnville in Oregon to meet niny512 who loves making art dolls!
How did you find CO+K and why did you join?
I stumbled upon CO+K while looking for craft projects sites. I was looking for free tutorials trying to improve my craftiness and had been looking for months without much luck. Then one day I found CO+K and after several days looking through the projects and tutorials available I joined the group because I'd finally found a place that had what I was looking for, a variety of crafty goodness.
What projects are you currently working on?
I have been working on Doctor Who ornaments for my tree, every time I find something that will work on my tree I do it so this will be a year long project. I also am getting ready to decorate a sweater with a TARDIS (Doctor Who) stencil. And my new really big project is redecorating my bathroom.

Katie recreates the quirky and colourful room of Penny from the TV show, The Big Bang Theory.
I love Penny, i love the fact she swills Pinto Grigio and kisses cut Physicists all day. However, what i love more is her perfectly cute and eclectic bedroom. The clashing colours, funky home wares and plush fabrics really make it a cosy little haven. yes she may be a bit messy, but hey, when you are that cute....who cares! Although it may look at first glance to be more of a child's room, once you take a closer look you realise the stylist has very cleverly merged funky thrifty finds with classic design. Its a room that i want to look at (ahem...live in) all day!
