Knitting patterns I like…..(all free)

I’m in full blown sweater knitting mode!! Guess I’m ready for winter! *grin*. I’ve been browsing around, and as usual, love to find free knitting patterns online. There are so many great ones! Enjoy, and please send me some of your favorite ones! I’ll include a link to the free pattern, and a ravelry link so you can see other versions and read reviews of them. Happy Winter! (almost) - Sonnett from Knitty fall of 03 . My girlfriend is knitting this, it is a side knitted pattern, I especially like it, due to the fact that it is written so you can use any yarn and calculate your own pattern. [rav link below] - Paulie cardi from Grasfleckin http://owlsisters.blogspot.com/2011/05/free-paulie-for-you.html this is knitted top down, from reading the comments on Ravelry, it looks like a good knit, well written pattern, I love the simplicity of it and the stripes to add interest. [rav link below] See photo here , just published Oct. 2011, I predict this will end up in many knitters

DIY’s I like….

This is so cute, little mushrooms to add to your plants! This is a great idea for gifts, especially since fall and shorter days are here. Add a little brightness and whimsy where it is least expected! An easy fun DIY from PrettyHandyGirl , thanks! Suitable for kids also.   I like these basic boy pants from MyGrowingHome , great tutorial, but I think it could be used for any size person. I’m going to try a pair for myself. Super comfy, and nice to lounge around the house in, I’ll just need some fun fabric, maybe even some corduroy! From kimboscrafts AGirlAndAGlueGun a simple tutorial on how to make a bedskirt from a sheet ! It looks nice and hey make a couple and change your bedroom look up. This is on my list of things to do. ThanksIMadeIt has a very good looking wrap bracelet made out of a zipper who won’t like this tutorial? It looks cool, I would never think this was a zipper! As always look further into these blogs for more great tutorials! Thanks everyone for sharing yo

A Little Get Away

We got away to one of our favorite spots in Gatlinburg, TN. We had beautiful weather, and did some hiking. And I got some knitting done also. Happy Fall, knit something to keep you warm!
