Exciting things to come! And Thanks!

I am working on three blanket patterns right now, with yarn support by a major yarn company.  (EXCITING!)   The first is a simple and repetitive pattern, suitable for beginners.  The second is a floral-based motif afghan that is fun and beautiful.  The third is in the infancy stages but will BLOW YOUR MIND!  Heehee, it is super-cool.

Still hoping for a Mystery Afghan by the end of Summer.  I have a few ideas but nothing concrete yet.  I like to make the mysteries mysterious, so you don’t know what’s coming as you get the clues week by week.  This makes the design process a challenge.   I’m sure it work out, and it will be a FREE pattern.

For 2016, I’m thinking of a Hexagon of the Month Club.  🙂

Thanks so much to those of you who have been using my Amazon.com link on the upper right of the page.  Log in through my link to purchase anything on Amazon, from diapers, to cereal, to laptops, to sneakers, to yarn, cds, and even (crazy thought) books!  Remember when Amazon was just books?    I get a small commission which helps to keep the free patterns coming.

And thanks of course to all of you who buy my patterns on Ravelry.com every day.  I’m very fortunate.  🙂

 

 

Free Hat Patterns

 

I am not exactly known for my hat patterns, but I love to knit and crochet hats and usually whip up a bunch for Christmas gifts.  I have a few hat patterns on Ravelry, one crocheted and three knitted, and they are now all free patterns.  Check them out and let me see your finished objects!
