Brainstorming

• Peeta: free garter stitch, short row shawl pattern- mixes worsted and fingering weight yarns on size 8s
• Tony the monster from the book More KnitWits which I got from the library. The pattern is by Katie Boyette. Shown in blue and black stripes. Super cute. I can see my nephews liking him.
• Boot Toppers- I’m contemplating just creating my own pattern. I figure I’ll measure the circumference of my upper calf, do a gauge swatch, and then just whip together a very basic ribbed and cabled pattern.

From the Armchair

• Urban Forest Knits
  • 5 pattern collection in eBook by Judy Marples 
  • Definitely take a look at this pattern collection! It would be a great addition to your library.
  • Don’t forget that this eBook is one of the prizes available for the Sept/Oct section of our holiday KAL
• Dishcloth Diva byDeb Buckingham
