Knitting Dragonflies

I am a Internet knitting and crochet pattern aholic. I love free patterns, and there are so many of them online. Who isn't trying to save money for any gift giving that we do. Here are some I found that you may enjoy making for the Holidays. Fingerless Crochet driving gloves by LionBrand yarns, I like these! They are different than any of the "fingerless gloves" I have seen before. I have made the LionBrand patterns before, and recommend them. Although they are shown on a woman, I plan to make a pair for a man. If you use the recommended yarn by LionBrand these would cost about $5 to make. Next pattern is also crochet, this one is from Berrocco, it is a unusual felted hat . The instructions call to crochet it, felt it, and cut it out. Sounds mistake proof, If you use the Alpaca yarn called for the cost would be approximate. 11.50 or so.

The seven of cups is a  card of many meanings, with so much symbolism. All of the cups are on a cloud with a man in black in the foreground.  The cups seem to offer many things, snake=passion, desire and power, treasure=wealth and abundance, human head=companion or lover, castle=power and stability, laurel wreath=honor and statu

I  started knitting a wrap in a simple pattern. You may use any yarn you choose, I picked a part mohair yarn that I had already had it was Patons Devine (it is a wool/acrylic/poly blend (in pink) that I had bought for a baby blanket who turned out to be a boy) Use needles approx. twice the size recommended on the label of your yarn, my yarn recommended size 10 us needles and I used 17. Amount: I used three skeins, which was plenty long with some left, at 142 yd's per ball or around 400 yards needed. Recommended to knit a swatch and measure, remember your lace will stretch. If you are a tight knitter, and don't like the look of your swatch. Use larger needles, you may also yo twice in row 4 (knit, yo, yo, knit continue.....) Play around then when you are happy Cast on 50 stitches ( 40 if using bulky yarn or you want your wrap shorter) row 1 knit row 2 knit row 3 knit row 4 *knit, yo* repeat row 5 knit, drop all yo's from previous row repeat rows 2-5 until your
