Free Patterns, Tutorials and Project Ideas
Earlier this week I posted a giveaway from Will Save Nine and she had so much fun doing it she decided to do another. This time it’s for a ball of Woll Butt yarn from Butinette. It’s a wool/polyamide blend, multicolored, with plenty of yardage to go around. Isn’t it pretty?
To enter, comment on her post by next Thursday (Aug. 16). I know a lot of you are sock knitting fans, so I hope one of you gets it!

Adding a bit of knitting to your fall decor is a lot of fun, whether it’s knit pumpkins or a bunch of adorable knit ghosts like these.
Knit ghosts can be super simple like this free ghost knitting pattern from Trixie Zynch on Ravelry. Using about 50 yards of worsted weight yarn, they’re worked from the bottom up and are super cute as a pair.
This fuzzy little ghost from Forest Knitting Toys is holding a pumpkin and wearing a witch hat, though of course the accessories are optional, as is the fuzzy yarn. The main yarn is chunky and the ghost measures about 10 cm/4 inches tall. It’s worked in the round.
Another fuzzy ghost in more of a Pacman style is this ghost plushie form South Stitch Girls. It’s worked in the round with bulky yarn and includes a sweet little bow you can make in whatever color you like.
The ghost doll from Edith Grace Designs has little arms and a curl at the top of its head. The body is worked flat using DK weight yarn and you could also work it in glow in the dark yarn for extra fun. The body and head are worked in one piece with the arms knit separately.
The Grim Grinning Ghosts from Susan Claudino are super cute and you can knit them in any yarn and gauge you like to make ghosts of different sizes. These are worked in the round with the body done in one piece and the arms are knit separately. The ghosts shown were knit in sock yarn, DK and worsted weight yarn. You can find the pattern on Ravelry.
Make a ghost with funny striped legs with this ghost shelf sitter design from Claire Fairall Designs. It’s worked in three colors of DK weight yarn, and the letters spelling out boo are made with strips of garter stitch sewn into shape.
This is a beautiful variegated sock yarn to make my first pair of socks.
I love this yarn!!
Pretty colors
The yarn is beautiful.
I love wild socks. This yarn would give me the incentive to finally try to knit a pair. I have everything I need, except yarn. I WILL learn to knit socks!!
Cold weather is coming – I need to be knitting socks for many feet!
Great yarn, great socks!
This yarn would also make a beautiful Barbie outfit.
Took a class on how to knit socks on Saturday and I am hooked. Hope my family is ready for socks! I know I am!
That is a really beautiful skein of yarn. I can imagine a lovely pair of socks knit from it. I sure would like to win.
Love the fall colors – they will go with everything
Gotta love the name as much as the coloring.
