An Intersection of Knitting and Music
When you are an avid knitter living with a musician, you try to find ways to merge your hobbies (or at least design gifts for your significant other that merge them!) The result? Music Knitting Patterns!
My significant other requested that I knit dinosaurs playing guitar into his custom Custom Christmas Stocking. I was more than happy to oblige. Many other people are interested in music knitting patterns, and I have assembled a series of these free patterns in this lens.
In this lens I'll share with you both music and knitting projects that I've found are located at the crossroads of music and knitting.
