  • Where to Find FREE Patterns

    I am building up a library of digital patterns.  I have many more patterns than I will ever be able to complete, but you never know when you will suddenly decide to make a teddy bear for a barbie doll or a 7 foot round afghan.

    Some favorite FREE sites I check daily and save interesting patterns include:

    Free-Crochet dot com

    Free-KnitPatterns dot com

    FreePatterns dot com

    You can also check these yarn companies:

    LionBrand dot com

    RedHeart dot com

    Bernat dot com

    PatonsYarns dot com

    If you are looking for charities to knit/crochet for the yarn companies have links on their website.

    Many patterns are out there waiting to be made by you.  It’s time to get started.

  • A RedHeart Christmas

    As the end of September approaches I notice many of the local stores are already gearing up with Christmas sections, adding lights, trees and other assorted gadgets to ring in the holidays.

    While my personal opinion is that it is waaay to early to be putting these items on display, it is not to early to have several Christmas knitting and crochet items in progress.

    Celebrating these projects and adding more ideas to my ever growing list is the Twelve Weeks of Christmas offered up by RedHeart.

    Each week a new and ambitious project is published for your holiday craft list.

    Week one: Grannys Noel Throw made with Holiday Yarn.
