Free from Joann.com: candy cane mat/dishcloth and wrist warmers

I just saw this on Pinterest from Joann.com. Looks fun and EASY!

Link to wrist warmer pattern..remember all the ladies on Cranford wore wrist warmers in the cold weather... I need to get that out and watch it again. I love Cranford and Return to Cranford. I really want a knitting pattern for the shawl Miss Matty wears!

All the best, Debby

Use knitted lace in child's Ballerina shrug

Here is a simple but lovely project for a little girl: Little Ballerina Shrug from All Knitted Lace 

Isn't that pretty? You could use this design as a springboard and try your own lace design in the body of the shrug. 


Happy Knitting!

The Latest on ETSY

Here is my latest creation on ETSY...ready for easy knitting and gifting to a good friend...do you recognize the lace design?

 

New on ETSY-Great little bolero pattern 1953 and sale code

There are 12 patterns in this pattern book from 1953 (knitted, crocheted and hairpin lace items) but I have set up some of the cutest items as separate patterns.

...like this great little bolero pattern. I need to make one of these. Wouldn't it look lovely for winter bride?

 

Where are my white gloves and red lipstick?

Have a safe weekend.

PS...there are lots more new patterns and here is a 10% off code for my ETSY store:

Happy Friday...new vintage pattern

Happy Friday....and it is a hot one with more triple digit weather. I am so thankful for air conditioning!
I found this really cute crochet pattern for covering clothes hangers and have it now in my ETSY shop. Yeah, I know there are tons out there but this one is a bit different. There are little bumps on each end of the hanger to keep your garment from slipping off.

I need to make a few of these for some chronicly slipping dresses in my closet!

If you are inspired by this patttern, here are some more free ideas:

A lovely shell crochet hanger pattern from DOTTIEANGEL

and Flower trimmed crocheted hangers from FIONA on MARMALADEROSE

And Finally, I love these clothes pin bag patterns on TIPNUT.

Have a happy and safe weekend.

New on ETSY-Easy to knit shrug pattern

Here is a great summer project for beginning knitters. 

This is a simple shrug or shoulderette from the 1950s knit from cuff to cuff with 4 oz of worsted weight yarn and size 8 (US) needles.  

I have got to make one of these to go over a sundress!

 Enjoy!
