My friend’s son is obsessed with all things Mario. She asked me to knit up this cute mushroom for him. Since I am always looking for something to knit, I quickly jumped at the chance.
Let’s-a go with Mario

Tiny Snowman
While it is beginning to warm up here in Florida, some parts of the country still have snow. At only three and a half inches, these miniature snowmen are sure to be a big hit.
Patterns released
In November, I shared three patterns that are part of an e-book. The book has now been released.
The Knit Seasons by Stana D. Sorter is available on Ravelry for $15.00. The book contains 31 different patterns. The patterns are also available separately. There are so many cute projects in this book that cover a variety of topics. I will definitely be knitting a few more of the patterns.
I test knitted three of these: from left to right Bucket Hat (aka. Camouflage Hat), Boo Boo Bear (aka. Teddy Bear) and Blue Bell Hat.
Happy Knitting
P.S. Don’t worry, I still like free patterns and plan to use as many free patterns as I can.
Terrarium
Both of my grandmothers had green thumbs. They could grow anything. Somewhere along the way, the gene got lost. I have a black thumb. 
When Lily decided to work on the Gardening and Plant Science merit badge, I knew I was in trouble. For one of her optionals, she chose to build a terrarium.
Tiny Tim
I had a little monkey, his name was Tiny Tim… Are you familiar with this nursery rhyme? It is one my hubby has taught me. Tiny Tim is the perfect name for this little guy, as he is less than 4 inches tall. 
I found this free pattern here on Ravelry. I used #3 needles and less than 45 yards of worsted weight yarn. He is knitted flat and then sewn together. I changed the eyes by using 6/0 glass beads instead of embroidering them as the pattern recommended.

I had a little monkey; his name was Tiny Tim.
I put him in the bathtub to see if he could swim.
He drank up all the water. He ate up all the soap.
Now my little monkey, has a bubble in his throat.
