Socks have been on my to-knit-list for a while now. I even have a lovely skein of yarn in my stash that I am saving for my first pair. I decided to start with a pair of slippers instead.
Many of the patterns I have found for slippers involve seaming and I HATE SEAMS! I was super excited to find a free pattern that did not involve seams and were knit as one solid piece. Continue reading “A Pair of Slippers”
Today is hug your cat day. Since my hubby is a dog person and hates has a strong dislike for cats, I thought I would share this adorable cat I knitted.
Today’s knitting project is an adorable little bumblebee.
I found a set of free patterns from Valley Yarns of animals made from a simple ball.
This ball was knitted in the round with yellow and black stripes. After stuffing the ball, tiny wings were knitted flat and added to the sides. The addition of two 6/0 beads and an embroidered mouth completed this quick project.
If you would like to make your own, you can download the pattern here.
Happy Knitting.

Today I’m sending you lots of love with the help of this little bunny.
I began with a free pattern, by Sara Elizabeth Kellner, I found on Ravelry. The pattern began at the neck and knitted in the round to the tail. The cast on stitches were then picked up to knit the head and ears. I added a pair of 6/0 black beads for eyes.
The original pattern included attachable legs that I omitted. I did add a little pom pom tail to finish him off.
If you would like to knit your own bunny the pattern can be found here.
Happy Knitting.
