FREE Graphic Monday (a day late!)

Good Morning!  Sorry I got sidetracked yesterday or you would have had these nice graphics yesterday.  These are from the 1920 Corticelli Lessons in Crochet Booklet Number 13.  They would be free to use and copy write free since they were published prior to 1923 and would be in the public domain.

OMGosh Miniature Knitting!

Has it really been 10 days since my last post?  Wow, time flies!  Sorry about that yet again.

I just ran across this miniature knitting video and pattern from an upcoming movie and just had to share it.  I was so amazed with the concept.  I am in love with miniatures! <3

Not too long ago, I entered a drawing on Tiaras And Bowties and unlike usual, I actually won!  You could have knocked me over with a feather!

Hand Knitted Dish Cloths

I am SO sorry I have neglected my blog this long!  But I have been so busy working on projects (again about 4 simultaneously! lol).  I started a purse and decided to make at least 5 variations of it so it is taking awhile to get them all done.  I will blog the tutorial when they are done!  I promise!

Today I am going to share with you a knitting pattern I received from a friend decades ago that I still use today.  They are a simple and quick knitting project so they are fun to make and are easy enough for a beginning knitter who knows the basics.  It is especially fun when using variegated yarn because you don’t know what the pattern will turn out like!
