Come one, Come all to SOAR!

In 1995, Interweave Press established a scholarship program as a way of supporting fiber students to expand their interest in spinning, to share valuable information within the spinning community, as well as to preserve, expand,…

I found this pattern on Knit Purl’s site. While definitely not your weekend knitting project (it’s knit on size 1.5 needles), it most certainly qualifies as a “takes concentration” pattern. I believe knitty.com refers to these as piquant!

Gorgeous pattern though,…

One Sheep Short wins this round! Congrats!!

Next up……..

Stumbling around Flickr, as I’ve been known to do, I came across this. It’s called Free Form Knitting, and there’s a whole Flickr group devoted to it. To me it almost looks like the whole of the Eurasian/African Continents, but…

This season, Lion Brand Yarn is doing the Inishturk Sweater for their KAL. I won’t be joining in, though, I already have 856,574,900 (ish) projects on the needles, and there are no more needles in my stash. Must. Get. More.…

I found these over on the Flickr site and really like them, maybe because there’s green…… Anyway, here are the free patterns. Ballband Dishcloth:

No, it’s not football season, but we do have another giveaway. Not sure how that all ties in, hang in there with me, I can usually make it all work. How about an alternative to that football game? This one’s…

Caution, warning and all that stuff, this book is written entirely in German, however, there is a translation site.

Now for the good stuff… this adorable toy book is just what the adventurous knitter hankers for. With patterns ranging from crocodiles…

Turn to ehow.com! You’ll find everything you could possibly want there, from “How…

The baby blanket is so cute, but you could even make it larger for your beach themed house!

I’ve had the opportunity to try out this light and peeps, It. Is. Awesome!!

Of course I’ve used the Beam and Read for my knitting, but also reading late at night and early morning. Then, just the other night, I grabbed…

Ok, that’s two words, noted!
