Anything Knitted and Crocheted

Welcome to my blog. I hope to blog about my knitting and crocheting as well as everyday life. The patterns that I post are original and as such there is copyright on them. When they are based on another pattern there is a link to the pattern.

My husband and I adopted a beautiful dog named Leo. He is a dachshund and absolutely adorable! we adopted him on June 23, 2010 and he has become the love of our lives.

I love to share patterns that I find along the way or to talk about some of the neatest designers that are out there today, so I love to post links to the designs or the designers.

So grab a cup a and sit and enjoy the blog.

Wow 31 new patterns from Lion Brand yarns!

There are some cute items! My favorites are the Cat and Mouse Door Stops and the Sausalito Stirrup Socks. I also like the lion amigurumi too. The vest is really nice and I have a ton of worsted weight acrylic that I can use, although I am not really a fan of vests, with the kidney problem I have a hard time regulating temps, so i would add some sleeves to this. There are some nice cowls and the wristers (fingerless mitts) are really nice as well.
