Vintage Coin Purse

I made several of these crocheted Vintage Coin Purses from Richella Duggan's Ravelry Store.  They are super cute, and easy, even if you are a knitter, not a crocheter.  I love making them in different colors.  They look just like the one I had as a kid.  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

See the pattern on the Accessories page.

Air Force Afghan - USAF

Air Force Afghan - USAF

Having received emails requesting this pattern, which was only on Ravelry for a very short time previously, I am re-submitting and re-posting the new and improved pattern for your favorite USAF Airman/Airwoman.  You will find the pattern on the Home Decor page.  Happy Knitting!

Penguins and Snowflakes Baby Blanket

This modern, geometric Penguins and Snowflakes Baby Blanket Pattern is perfect for the Baby to Be (especially if you don't know the gender!)  It's fun to knit with wide garter stitch edges and the pattern in the middle in stockinette. Baby will be cozy, but not hot in super, soft cotton.  Find the pattern on the Home Decor tab.  Enjoy and Happy Knitting!

Top Down Split Neck Raglan Knit Bear Sweater

This is just in time for winter, in case your bear is cold! The pattern is on the Doll Clothes page. I feel very sympathetic to the chilly bear cause, especially considering the current bear hunt that is going on in my lovely state of Florida.  Bears unite!  With these cute sweaters, who would want to hunt you?  I knit mine with Lion Brand Baby Wool: it's machine washable!  The snowflake pattern is very simple and make it kind of a Holiday Bear!  Yay!  You can find the pattern on the Doll Clothes tab.  Enjoy and Happy Knitting!

Best Knitting Educational Site

Knitting Nuances is the best educational knitting site I have found so far.  Just as the name implies, you will find details on knitting specifics like increases, decreases, cast on, cast off and much, much more.  Try it and you'll be inspired to try some of the techniques.  My favorite so far is the new way to kfb (knit front and back).  Instead try knitting back to front.  So simple, it's genius.  I love it!  Enjoy.

My New Jamberry nails

I can knit with them!

Not only are her patterns luscious, but her blog is equally well designed.  It's a work of art. I love the flow of this blog and Glenna offers several free patterns.  Her designs are absolutely lovely!  Check out Glenna Knits and let me know what you think.  Happy Knitting!
