My first craft project-a yarn octopus!

I was so excited when I found this vintage pattern. It was my first craft project. It started me down that road of yarn coveting. My stash has been growing ever since!


This pattern is now available in PDF format in my ETSY store.

It would be a great summer project for a girl or boy.

Simple Knitting for HOT DAYS

Wow...it is just hitting 90 degrees here in VA before 8 AM and no end in sight to the hot weather. Even when it is very hot, I keep knitting....just not with wool or anything itchy. Currently, I am working on deciphering some English Victorian knitting patterns. That should keep me busy for a while. 

In the mean time, I also like 'no brainer' knitting projects. Here is a very nice looking variation on the slotted scarf. 

This free pattern is from Berroco and is available here.
