I have been totally smitten with this pattern lately. I picture it all finished and blocked layed out over a crisp white bedspread, as a Coverlet. Oooh…ahhhhh….

I have been totally smitten with this pattern lately. I picture it all finished and blocked layed out over a crisp white bedspread, as a Coverlet. Oooh…ahhhhh….

A Bed spread may seem like an odd knit during the cusp of summer but someone’s Hubby likes it frigid in the bedroom at night. Bbbbrrrrrr….. This is the perfect (AND prettiest!) compromise.

It is a nice “mindless” knit and is done on size 10′s, so you see you’re progress quickly before getting bored with the pattern. Only problem…I’ve ran out of yarn.   I hate it when that happens! If only I had little “sheepy” friends roaming around my back yard, who could help me with that dilemma.

I can feel it starting….the air is feeling ever so slightly crisper, thinner, fresher. Fall is coming soon. I know it is because the box of fresh crayons and bottle of Elmer’s glue told me so!

School will be starting in just over a week. I’ll be heading down to the basement to pull out the lightweight jackets and stocking the kids dresser drawers with a full arsenal of socks.

For myself, fall means back-to-work for my etsy shoppe. Orders are beginning to trickle in from all of the far reaching lands where winter has already made it’s appearance.

Time for some fresh new shoppe items!

I am totally addicted to knitting now, thanks to my friend Amy! Who knew that all it would take is just learning to knit Continental style as opposed to Traditionally.

My newest knit pattern is the Trilsean Gloves. “Tril-shane” is the Gaelic word for braid. A very fitting name for these gloves since they have an offset celtic cable running down the length. These can be knit up in a matter of hours. A perfect weekend project. My pattern is all ready made up and I just need some eager volunteers to test it out for me!

If you’d like to test it out, just leave a comment on this post along with your email address. 

I’ve just finished my second knitting pattern! YAY!!! Who says no good can come from an entire week of the Flu??? What else was I to do!?

You can download the pattern here. Be sure to share your pics and pattern notes on ravelry! 

Have a fabulous week!

Crochet Rose Pattern

This pattern is easy, quick and of course the finished product is very pretty! The rose, however, [...]]]> Yay!!! My very FIRST knitting pattern EVER!

UPDATE :: Thanks to ALL of you for volunteering your knitting skills to test out this pattern.
I have met my full quota!! THANKS, again!

This pattern is easy, quick and of course the finished product is very pretty! The rose, however, is crocheted and for those of you Knitters who have never crocheted before, I have all of the crochet stitches very well explained. I also have an online website linked for fabulous online tutorials of every crochet stitch you will need to know for this flower.

That being said, over the next week, I will be working on getting all of these stitches filmed and made into video tutorials! I will have them available on my blog and linked from the finished pattern.

Now, I would like to invite any and all Knitters to test out my pattern for FREE. Just leave me a comment INCLUDING your email address and I will send you the PDF. I can’t tell you how many times people ask me for patterns to test and don’t remember to give me their email address!!!

Let me know of any mis-wordings, discrepancies or typos, etc. Also, keeping in mind that this is my FIRST knit pattern, PLEASE be kind with your critique!

For those of you who crochet, let me know if you would like to test out the Rose pattern and I will email you a copy!!!

Everyone have a happy Monday!

This pattern has been a long time coming. I’ve had a gazillion Crocheters ask me for a pattern for this scarf since last winter.

Zoe ended up in the hospital for a day and a half last week, due to dehydration, so it left plenty of time for me to work on this. What else was I gonna do? I brought a suitcase with underwear , a toothbrush, a skein of yarn, a hook and my tablet.

Alas, I’ve finally written up the pattern and created a pdf.
Only problem….I’ve misplaced all of my pattern tester emails.

I was able to remember a few by memory but HOLY COW, Pattern Girl! Why didn’t you have them all written down somewhere???
I am forever doing things like this! When will I learn?

IF you are a Crocheter and would like to try out this pattern for free, please comment on this post or email me to let me know you’re interested.

You’ll need about 150 yrds of bulky weight yarn, a “K” hook and a free weekend. Or a few free evenings.

This is a fun pattern and is absolutely gorgeous worked up!
If you don’t crochet, send someone you know who does!

Happy Tuesday, all!

They make me feel like wrapping my hair up in a pretty, soft scarf and jumping into an old motor car for a windy Spring drive with the top down.

Bored housewives, stressed out moms or Crocheters in need of therapy and a new, fun, free project.
