Knitting Love

Hello friends,


Here Megan makes knitting look easy with this tutorial.


It is images like this that make me want to knit.
I would wear fingerless gloves even when I paint, but I would have to dedicate them to that as they would get paint on them.

I love sweaters like this!  That come just a bit over your hands~

I can't wait to find a local yarn shop! I love these yummy colors~




Now what size needles to start with?

Just one more site that might help with learning how to knit. Knitpicks has video tutorials and lots of other information. I am sure I will be finding more great sites and promise to share!
 Do you think you will ever give knitting a try? If you know how- How long did it take you to learn?

Irish Rose

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Celebrating here with this free Irish Rose Pattern

Source: ravelry.com  on Pinterest

Hi there readers, I hope this finds you having a wonderful St. Patrick's Day!! I posted some photography on my other blog today "Green" and "Irish" pop over when your done if you like. But what I wanted to share with you today here is this Irish Rose pattern. It is a free Irish rose crochet pattern found via Raverly but is at Lionbrand.com. I want to relearn how to crochet and knit. I came across these two fabulous sites so if you are interested these are great sites to check out.




Raverly does require you to sign up but it is free and fast! Then you have access to forums, patterns, groups, shops, have your own notebook and more! I am just checking it out myself, but one think I like right away is the ease of the site. You have a search, so maybe if you have a stitch your interested in finding you can look it up * lots of images, links and how easy or hard a pattern is. This is going to be a big time and money saver for learning!!




  Lionbrand.com has information for yarns, patterns, learning, community, and shop.They have both knitting and crochet information.  I have come across this site LB one other time but really haven't investigated it much. I am excited about this! Do you crochet or knit? Are you a beginner or veteran?

I am so happy about finding these two sites I could do a jig!
