I have added to my list, can’t wait to give it a go.  The website is called Pickles if you click on this link it will take you to the pattern.

Ellis Dress

You will find the free pattern for this pattern here.

This design is named Omelet and there are no cooking skills needed.  Omelet is a half circle shawl with a garter stitch border that is knit from center back to the bottom edge. Yarnovers at each end and between panels are used to form the shape. Increases are worked every four rows on right side only.

This design is called Forest Ridge.  Forest Ridge is a good introduction to lace, with one easy body motif where every other row is straight purling, so don’t be afraid to get started if a newbie with lace knitting.

The site also has some great competitions to enter.  All the information on entering is on the Knitty Blog.

Happy knitting everyone…..

I’m surprised how many techniques and things I have done considering my  age. I look forward to trying the things I haven’t done yet!  I hope you do to.

I have found this cutie little lamb that is sock inspired to knit, it should take long, and I am sure all the knitters out there have some yarn in there stash to complete the project.

The link can be found here.

You will need to sign up to the site, but this is free as is the pattern.

The next pattern is Easter Eggs.  They are done with crochet, but again make lovely gifts.

The link is here.

For something a little different I came across this Bunny Clothes peg.  How brilliant is he.

Full instructions can be found here.

Another pattern I loved was this one.  No wonder I never to get to knit half the projects I want to.  There are so many out there to chose from.

The link is here.

Shawls they are once again Beehive patterns and are free to use.

The first download is here.

The Second here.

Then Third here.

You will need to be patient as they do take a while to load.

Happy Knitting
