Salty Sam’s Fun Blog for Children
Post Number 1
Diary of a Lighthouse Keeper
Launch Date 20th February 2015
lntroduction
Hello Everyone
Firstly, let me introduce myself.
l’m Salty Sam the lighthouse keeper. There aren’t too many of us left in the world. l am certainly the only one around in these parts.
l live in a tall, red and white striped lighthouse perched on some rocks out here in the middle of the sea.
This is my blog about my life on the rocks!
lt is very exciting living in my lighthouse because l am always having visitors and you just never know who will turn up next!
One of my adventures was first published in Salty Sam and the Windy Day.
The nearest town to me is Rocky Bay. l can see it on the mainland from my windows. lt is a small fishing town with a harbour where people can moor their boats. lt is a really magical place to live.
Next to it is Sandy Cove where there is a beautiful, sandy beach. Tourists and holiday makers love it because there are cafes and ice cream parlours and lots of ways to have fun like crazy golf and puppet shows.
l visit the mainland often because l have friends and family there.
My best friend is Captain Jack. He often brings supplies to the lighthouse in his boat.
My Auntie Alice lives in a cottage by the river. She loves knitting. She knits jumpers and hats and gloves and scarves and socks for all the family.
This week she knitted me a new jumper and l have given you the pattern for it at the end of the post.
l have two nephews, Bill and Bob, who live in a little, stone cottage called Primrose Cottage at the back of Rocky Bay and we all love going on adventures together.
This is my fun blog for children – but adults are very welcome too.
l already have visitors to my website from nearly 100 countries so l really hope all my followers out there will enjoy it.
Subscription is totally free! l do not harvest your personal detail to share with any third parties. Reading this blog is totally free.
l appreciate readers spreading the word about the wealth of knowledge and resources on this website.
Thank you!
l’ll tell you more about my life here in Rocky Bay next time.
Bye bye everyone – don’t forget to subscribe to my blog!
Love and kisses

Welcome to this updated website and the launch of my blog!
This blog is for children and big kids everywhere.
It is for crafting newbies, people who like making toys for their children and parents who want to teach their children all sorts of interesting skills that will last them a lifetime.
It is also for people all over the World who are learning English.
Visitors to this website come from nearly 100 countries and the number seems to go up every month.
Most visitors live in Britain and the United States so measurements on the blog are often in metric and imperial to make everyone happy.
The projects are for crafters of all abilities. There are toys to make for children and by children.
Hand-made presents nowadays are very popular and hopefully treasured by the people receiving them. There will be lots of ideas here for presents that children can make for friends and relations.
Very importantly, the blog encourages you to become a designer as well, with tips on how to make your own unique projects.
- Please be careful when printing out patterns that they are the size you want them to be before using them to cut out material. You can use a photocopier to reduce or enlarge them if necessary.

Salty Sam fans can join in with their comments and share them with children all over the world. But remember that if you are not an adult, you must ask permission to post a comment!
You don’t have to give your real name if you don’t want to, and just your first name will be enough.
It would be really nice if you could say your age (of course adults don’t have to) and what part of the world you come from as well.
I would like to thank Richard Dawson for giving me a five-star rating and a lovely comment about my book on Amazon.
I also need to acknowledge and give great thanks to all the wiki, flicker and clip art sources that I have sometimes used to bring the educational aspect of this blog to life, explaining information in a way that would never have been as interesting or as understandable without them.
The topics were chosen in response to children requesting information.
If you would like to advertise on this blog, please contact my personal assistant and biographer Christina at the e-mail address below.
Enjoy…
This is me at my desk in the lighthouse writing my new blog.

Did you know that some scenes from the first Harry Potter movies were filmed at Alnwick Castle? So you may recognise it.

SALTY SAM’S SEA CREATURE FACTS
- The largest creature in the sea is the blue whale. ln fact, it is the largest animal in the world at 30m or 85 feet long. A newborn blue whale calf is 7m or 23 feet long.
- Whales, dolphins, seals and walruses are animals that have to come to the surface of the ocean to breathe air (some of these animals can hold their breath for more than an hour) but fish don’t – they get oxygen from the water they live in.
- There are more African elephants in the world than grey seals – grey seals are an endangered species.
- A dolphin is a kind of whale.
- A killer whale is the same shape as a dolphin.
- Whales have lifelong friends that they often visit.
- Giant squids can grow over 13m or 43 feet long which is about as long as a bus.
- A vampire squid has arms that look like a cape and has the ability to hypnotize its prey.
- Octopuses are related to the snails in your garden.
- lt is seahorse fathers that look after their young. They keep their babies in a pouch on their stomach until they are ready to hatch.
- Pearls are formed when a piece of grit gets into an oyster’s shell. The oyster coats the grit with layers of shell. The inside coating of the shell is called ‘mother of pearl’.
- The hermit crab does not produce its own shell but lives in discarded shells that it finds. lt moves into a bigger shell each time it outgrows the one it is living in.
- A nautilus adds larger chambers (thirty or more in a lifetime) to its shell as it grows and then moves into them.
- A Portuguese man o’war jellyfish’s sting is as poisonous as a cobra’s venom.
- Jellyfish are 95% water.
- The fastest fish is the sailfish at 112kph or 70mph.
- Flying fish have wide fins on their sides and can fly over 400m or 1,300 feet over the water at speeds of 70kph or 43mph.
- The largest shark is the whale shark at 15-18m or 50-60 feet long and is harmless to humans because it only eats plankton.
- Plankton are the smallest creatures in the sea.

HOW TO KNlT
MY PORT AND STARBOARD JUMPER AND HAT
If you want to make this jumper which fits the cuddly toy on my website, of course you can use any colours you like to make the stripes. It is a very good way of using up yarn left over from making other jumpers.
As long as you can knit plain and purl stitches, this jumper and hat is very easy to make.
You can find the pattern to make the Salty Sam toy at
This is a picture of me in my beach chair
Whenever you are crafting, it is always really nice if an adult can help you and teach you how to do things properly. If things go wrong, don’t get upset or want to give up – it is all part of learning. The projects on this blog are quite simple and when you master basic techniques you will be able to move on to more difficult projects later.
Whenever you want to do a project, read through the instructions for everything properly before you start.
PATTERN FOR MY PORT AND STARBOARD JUMPER
The left side of a ship is called the port side and the right side is called the starboard side.
The colour for port is red and the colour for starboard is green.
Port is also the name for a kind of strong, red wine so remembering this sentence might help you to remember this information:-
There is some red port left in the bottle.
FRONT AND BACK (KNIT TWO)
Using 3½mm knitting needles and white dk yarn cast on 50 stitches
K3 (p2, k2) repeat these last 4 stitches until last 3 sts, p3
Repeat this last row 7 times (8 rows of ribbing)
Change to 4mm knitting needles
Using red dk yarn knit two rows (garter stitch)
Change back to the white yarn
Knit one row
Purl one row
Knit one row
Purl one row
Knit one row
Purl one row
(This gives you 6 rows of stocking stitch)
Using green dk yarn knit two rows (garter stitch)
Change back to the white yarn, knit 6 rows of stocking stitch as before
Repeat the last 16 rows twice (48 rows from the top of the ribbing)
Cast off 11 sts and knit to the end of the row (37 sts)
Cast off 11 sts and purl to the end of the row (26 sts)
Change to 3½mm knitting needles
K3 (p2, k2) repeat last 4 sts 4 times p3, k3
P3 (k2, p2) repeat last 4 sts 4 times k2, p3
Repeat these last 2 rows 3 times (8 rows of ribbing)
Cast off loosely rib-wise (that means do ribbing as you cast off)
SLEEVES (KNIT TWO)
Using 3½mm knitting needles and white dk yarn cast on 40 sts
K3 (p2, k2) repeat last 4 sts until last 3 sts, k3
P3 (k2, p2) repeat last 4 sts until last 3 sts, p3
Repeat these last two rows 3 times (8 rows of ribbing)
Change to 4mm knitting needles
Using red dk yarn knit 2 rows (garter stitch)
Using white dk yarn stocking stitch 6 rows, starting with a knit row
Using green dk yarn knit 2 rows (garter stitch)
Using white dk yarn stocking stitch 6 rows, starting with a knit row
Repeat these last 16 rows once
Cast off loosely in the next knit row
TO MAKE UP
With right sides facing, continue as follows:-
Using the white yarn, sew up the right shoulder seam, and then the left shoulder seam only 1cm/½ inch up from the shoulder side (not the neck side).
Then fold the sleeves in half lengthways in order to find the centres. Match these centres up to the shoulder seams and sew across the top of each sleeve. Then sew the under sleeve and side seams.
Using sewing thread, sew a snap fastener to the outside corners of the collar – this will then turn over to hide the snap fastener.
HAT (KNIT TWO THE SAME)
Using 3½mm knitting needles and red dk yarn cast on 40 stitches
K3 (p2, k2) repeat these last 4 sts until last 3 sts, k3
P3 (k2, p2) repeat these last 4 sts until last 3 sts, p3
Repeat these last 2 rows 3 times more
(8 rows of ribbing in red)
Change to 4mm knitting needles and white dk yarn
Stocking stitch 8 rows
Continuing to use stocking stitch decrease 1 stitch at the beginning of the next 16 rows (24 sts)
Decrease 1 stitch at each end of the next 8 rows (8 sts)
Cut off yarn leaving a length of about 20cm/8 inches to use to sew on the pompom
HOW TO MAKE A POMPOM
To make the pompom, cut two circles of card about 7cm/2¾ inches in diameter with a 2½cm/1 inch hole in the centre of each (you can draw around a 10 pence coin).
Then wind lengths of the green yarn around the two pieces of card through the middle hole to the outer edge until a pad is formed around the whole ring (tying in the ends of new lengths securely as you go).
Cut through the yarn by slipping the point of your scissors between the card pieces. Then tie a long piece of green yarn around the core of the pompom between the pieces of card. Pull it very tight as you knot it. Do this several times going backwards and forwards around the core.
If you make the pad of yarn too thick or you don’t tie the centre together tightly enough, your pompom will fall apart. If your hands are not strong enough, then you might be able to find a grown-up to help you with this bit.
Leave two lengths of green yarn to help you sew the pompom to the top of my hat.
THEN it is time to pull the pieces of card away from the yarn.
TO MAKE UP
With wrong sides together, over-sew the ribbing using red yarn, then turn the hat inside out and using back stitch or running stitch and white yarn sew around the edges of the top of the hat.
Make sure that you attach the pompom to the outside of the hat.
Fix the pompom on by tying the pompom to the hat and the hat to the pompom. You will need a knitter’s needle (yarn needle) to help you.
Then you might need to trim a few bits of yarn to neaten the pompom.
And that’s it! Happy knitting!
This is a picture of me wearing my new jumper and matching hat.
l’ll speak to you soon.

A Couple of little Crafty Tips from Auntie Alice
- Knit through the back of the stitch when you decrease on a knit row and knit through the front of the stitch when you decrease on a purl row.
- To sew your knitted pieces together, use back stitch or running stitch on stocking stitch and over-sewing on ribbing. If the ribbing will be turned back (like on the cuffs and hat rim on this pattern), then you can sew these pieces wrong side together – but this is not really important if you find it too fiddly to do.
My Auntie Alice
For all the yarn projects on this blog
you will only need:-
4mm knitting needles = UK size 8 and US size 6 for dk yarn
3½mm knitting needles = UK size between 9 and 10 and US size 4
(or 3¾mm knitting needles = size 9 UK / size 5 US for dk ribbing)
(or 3¼mm knitting needles for 4ply)
A 3.50mm crochet hook
A yarn needle with a large eye for sewing pieces of knitting together
You use 4mm needles for knitting double knit yarn
and 3½mm or 3¾mm needles for knitting the ribbing on a garment made in double knitting.
You can use 3¼mm or 3½mm for 4 ply yarn.
For the projects on this blog you can use 3½mm or 3¾mm needles for the ribbing on garments – it really won’t make much difference so don’t worry too much about this.

First off I would like to say great blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing. I have had trouble clearing my mind in getting my ideas out. I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Thanks!
Firstly, thank you for writing in Carolyn and l am glad that you like my blog.
The first rule of writing is ‘ write about what you know’ and of course l just write about my life here in Rocky Bay and things that l have learnt about in my travels around the World.
Thinking is not actually wasted time! l think about what l should write in my blog a lot before l sit down to my keyboard.
l think about my blog during the week while l am doing other jobs around the lighthouse and then when l get started my ideas just flow out of my fingertips!
l hope that helps. 🙂
