A long time coming.

This post has been a long time coming, indeed.

I had a slight mishap mid December and suffered a badly sprained ankle and it pretty much put the kibosh on most of my holiday plans. It took 4 weeks for me to be coherent enough to knit with any creativity and sense, but I have managed to create 5 patterns to share with you.

Here, now, for your knitting enjoyment are 3 hats, a scarf and a pair of socks.

Oh, Helen!

NEWS FLASH! Busy knitter posts more patterns!

I have been busy these past few weeks designing up a storm and starting to teach classes at The Scarlet Skein! I have also found some notes for items that I created over a year ago. I am currently in the process of deciphering exactly what I wrote and re-knitting or re-crocheting all of them, so I can attempt to write coherent patterns. Amazing how those scribbles were perfectly clear patterns when I jotted them down and now they seem to have been written by a five year old on Jolt Cola and Pixie Stix! More patterns as they are decoded.

Have fun going where your needles, hooks and yarn take you.
