KnitPicks does it again...52 weeks of dishcloths

If you just want to make a small project or practice some new stitches, a dishcloth is perfect. You get the practice in and have a finished item to use or give as a gift.

KnitPicks has 52 weeks of dishcloth patterns for both crocheters and knitters.

Here is a sampling...

What do I make for a boy's baby shower?

All the lovely historic, lacy patterns that I have for bonnets, booties etc are great but I don't think all modern mothers are really looking for that sort of thing for their boys. They don't seem to be as sentimental as me! Oh well,  but I just found this little knitting pattern for a football at KnitPicks. With a bib, I think it would fill the bill for a shower gift. Do you have any favorites for a baby boy's shower?

Send over a picture if you make one!

Happy knitting, Debby

Still not spring time...

I live in Virginia and wow...we have had a nasty winter. Even though it is March, it is not spring time yet. Though it warms up in the afternoon, it is really cold in the morning. I love these fingerless gloves for this type of weather. Makes driving with a cold steering wheel a bit more bearable!

This pattern is free on KnitPicks.com

The Gansey inspired stitch pattern is really a nice touch and shouldn't be too hard to knit up.

Enjoy, Debby

Video: How to wear a lace shawl

I loved this video from KnitPicks. I am inspired to knit and wear more shawls!
