Bumblebaby is a cute, fun children’s bumblebee hat pattern. It is knitted in the round in worsted weight yarn. It is suitable for beginning knitters wanting to try out knitting in the round on circular and double pointed needles.

What’s that up there in the sky? A silver saucer!? It’s landing…it’s opening… what’s that coming out of it? … little green men with googly eyes!!??

I wrote up this basic sock pattern to be multi-sized and easy for a beginning sock knitter to understand.It has been used in classes at the yarn shop that I work at and has received good reviews from the new sock-knitters who have tried it.

These socks are a simple yet sophisticated design offering a fairly structured fabric that is both breathable and warm, and is perfect for fall, winter, and spring weather. Cozy but not overly warm, the stitch pattern is an openwork design that is both quick to memorize and quick to knit.

Elephants are very sweet animals.

Inspired by the drapey loosely woven shawls sold at the local Sunday market, I designed this scarf/shawl to be worn on cool summer nights, or warm fall days. You can use it as a shoulder wrap over a summer dress, or even over a tee shirt. This yarn is soft, and not too warm, with a lovely sheen from the silk.
