Knitting: Potholder
This hot pad is made of stockinette stitch stripes that curl in naturally – finally a project that will use that property of stockinette stitch to an advantage! The stripes are joined together as you go, only the last one
Knitting: Softies - Other
I wonder if there’s actually anyone out there who would like or need to make a Goofy Goober? Or am I the only one who’s son wanted one badly?
Crochet: Animal Toy

Knitting: Animal Toy
This toy uses stitches with different textures to stimulate the development of a baby’s tactile sense, which is very important in the early months. It exploits the self-striping pattern of the yarn as a cue to change stitch patterns.
Knitting: Dress
This dress is knitted top-down all in one piece, in the round. It’s inspired by the look of Clara and this project.
