Free pattern: Ruffled Cufflette

cranberry cufflettes...

through the woods…..

Over the river and through the woods
To Grandmother’s house we go.
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh
Through the white and drifted snow, O!
Over the river and through the woods
Oh, how the wind does blow.
It stings the nose
And bites the toes
As over the ground we go.

Meet my latest design…. “Through the Woods”!
“Readers, Through the Woods.”

Small packages…

I received a special little something in the post over the summer and I am quite proud of myself for keeping it secret for this long!
My very FIRST published pattern!!!

A very proud moment for me. One that I hope to repeat many times over!  :)

Of course this special moment would not be complete without having a [...]

Falling for knits…

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 [...]

Indian Summer ~ FREE knitting pattern!

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!

FREE pattern!!!

I have had quite a few people ask me for the pattern for just the crochet rose on my Jazz Baby Knit Headband pattern. I decided instead of selling it separately, I would just list it here for free.   It is also up on ravelry.
Hope you enjoy!

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 [...]

Testing, testing…

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 [...]

Retooling…

This pattern-writing business is tricky stuff! I’ve been tweaking here and tweaking there, and I think I finally have the pattern where I want it.
After 4 hours of counting stitches, unraveling and RE-counting stitches, jotting down this, scratching out that….
And let me just add, if you are working on a pattern that requires counting your [...]

Meet "Calla"!

Ooooohh…..pretty. pretty. pretty.I love her! I have been sifting through the creative “floaters” drifting around in my head lately for something “Springy” or “Summery” to create for the shop.
Bathing suit? Uh……no. Head band? Too……boring.
Too bad I can’t get hats to sell this time of year. Ooh! Wait!!And then I pictured those lovely gals like Audrey [...]

Eeeeeeek!!!!!

Wende just emailed me to let me know that I have a little blip in one of the latest Storque articles on etsy.
It’s a picture of my Fingerless Glove Pattern listing. It would be awesome if one of my patterns made it into an issue of Crochet Today! Talk about recognition!
Well, on this lovely [...]
