Free Baby Booties Pattern

by

Well the good news is that it’s not broken! See I hurt my arm. And it really really hurt. Alot. Dr thought it was a stress fracture. Had all the obligatory tests and all it is is tendonitis. But just guess at what’s on the top 5 list of what NOT to do with tendonitis! Yeah, that’s right. No Knitting! Almost be better if it WAS broken. I already know I can knit with a cast!!

Anyway, as hot as it has been up here, I’m not sure this is the best pattern, but what the heck. It’s free. Baby booties made out of angora! Click here to get the directions!

  3. I’ve been there, tendonitis, and it’s a pain!! And knitting was really hard.
    Hope you’re feelling better really soon!

  5. I’ve just started physio for rotator cuff/shoulder tendinitis. Also triggered by…knitting.

    Any idea how long you have to avoid knitting?

  6. Hi,
    I really don’t know how long to avoid it. I avoided it until it quit hurting (which was actually never, cause in my real time life I’m a farmer who lifts and throws too many heavy things). As soon as I started knitting again it started hurting again. I’m experimenting with a way to knit without moving the fingers and wrist of that hand, basically just as if I had a rubber band around my wrist, holding the needle, and I do all of the motions with my other hand. This is working. It’s frustratingly slow, but it’s working, and it’s much better than not knitting!
    Good luck!

Knitting Pattern Review: Sabai Top by PaulaStrickt

Trending now — and for good reason!

Alright fellow knitters, if you’ve been scrolling through Instagram or Pinterest lately, you’ve probably spotted the Sabai Top popping up everywhere. And let me tell you — the hype is totally justified. This lightweight, drapey top by PaulaStrickt has quickly become a must-knit, and it’s easy to see why.

The Sabai Top has that magical mix of style and simplicity. With its elegant A-line shape, soft rolled neckline, and relaxed fit, it flatters every body and suits just about every wardrobe. It’s knit top-down in the round, which means no seams (yes please!), and it flows beautifully thanks to its clever shaping.

It’s ideal for warmer weather and perfect for layering. I’ve seen it styled casually over jeans or thrown over a sundress, and honestly? It looks stunning every single time. That easy, wearable style is what’s made this one take off in the knitting world right now.

PaulaStrickt’s instructions are beautifully laid out, with both English and German versions included. It’s written with clarity and care, and includes helpful photos throughout. I’d say it’s best for confident beginners and up — if you’re comfortable knitting in the round and shaping, you’ll be right at home.

The sizing is generous and inclusive, and it’s so adaptable with different fibres. Linen, cotton, bamboo blends — they all shine in this pattern. I’ve cast on with a blush cotton-linen from my stash, and it’s knitting up like a dream.

This is one of those patterns you just know you’ll make more than once. The fit, the drape, the ease… it’s everything I want in a handmade top. No wonder it’s trending — it’s the kind of timeless knit that never really goes out of style.
