Flutterfly Socks: A New Knitting Pattern
|
Reader My summer came to an end this week with the start of school for my girls. My summer was jam packed with camp, summer school and visiting family and friends. We were really blessed with some great weather, and my garden has really been showing off, especially the last few weeks. Just check out those blooms. And in the middle of it all my newest pattern to share with you. It has been so fun watching the butterflies come by. I have also seen lots of humming birds, humming bird moths, and bumble bees. This pattern is a great way to celebrate it all. These socks are top down, with a short row heel and toe. One thing I really enjoyed was that when I finished the heel, the foot of the sock is just a 4 round repeat, making them easy to just knit without a lot of worry. You can purchase the pattern for these socks in my ravelry shop. Go have a look and give it some love! Thanks for the support and happy crafting, Julia

It all went way too quick, and it required me to have easy projects that I could...
Reader I have a new crochet pattern for you today. It has been a long time since I have been able to share a crochet pattern with you. It feels good to get another one out. Say hello to Hyacinth Scarf. Close up of the Hyacinth Scarf When I first started to work on this pattern all the way back in January I had all the plans to make it have the same texture as my Hyacinth Hat. With all the bad news my mind kept wandering and I kept forgetting to add the crossover row. I thought, "well if I'm...
Reader Designs by Diligence is 14 years old this week. I can hardly believe I have been creating things for you for that long. What a joy its been from my first design appearing in Crochetvolution to now. I wanted to celebrate by offering a free knitting pattern just for this week. Restful Hat In my quest for using up the yarn I have. I decided to use up some mini skeins. I also added a lace weight mohair, and the result was the softest 2 tone hat that I have thoroughly enjoyed wearing this...
