Falling Leaves Free Pattern

I had a request for Leaf Pattern. this one gives you two corners, a central motif, and sides which can be repeated.

It is in the Public Domain. Use it as you see fit.

It's watching me........

 I took a break from knitting for others yesterday, to knit up something for myself.  I decided to give Tiny Owl Knits' "Fairy Castles" a try.

Being me, I can't leave a pattern alone, so I attempted to give it a branch.  which ended up looking more like a nose.....

The inside turned out well- plenty of room for snips and tapestry needles.

Storm's Mitts

Working on a set of half gloves for Storm. Uses Kristen Nicholas', Put-it-all-together Pattern from "Kristen Knits"   Lovely gloves, but having issues with following the chart. (the chart is fine-I just can't count to three...)   just two more rows until I can start the thumb gusset!

halfway there

  Taylor's Christmas gift is seriously Overdue.  Finished the first glove today, a combination of Kris Nicholas's Sebastian and Jodie Lucas's Phalanges.  The first one came out really cute, and the second is cast on. Hopefully it will be finished by the end of the month.

I've been knitting!

I've been knitting a lot, in the last few months.  Lots & Lots of little snowmen , mini Trees, mini mittens & socks, big socks, and I'm beginning to think about reopening the Etsy store. Here's hoping we can come up with things that actually sell, this time. Going to be working on some knitting pattens, possibly turning some of the old cross-stitch patterns into .pdfs, and hopefully be able to start spinning & dyeing again  soon.

 I'm becoming active on Ravelry. There are so many sweet people over there!   I'm looking forward to participating  in my first swap with the project bag group, and can't wait until "Reducio Sock" finishes up their last swap and begins on the next one!

I'm also working on some secrets! Hopefully soon you'll be able to meet Lolly , the LuvinEwe, and her buddy Charlie the Ram.

 See you soon!
