I designed this headband to go with a pair of thrummed mittens I made for my Sister in Colorado. Her family is into outdoor sports big time so needed something super warm.

I REALLY abhor doing intarsia. Unfortunately, sometimes it must be done. As in this case where my Firefighter EMT nephew is getting married. What better gift for the bridal shower than a dishcloth from Maria Merlino’s crochet Maltese Cross design?

I wanted to make a yarn bowl out of this one skein of “Lion Brand BIG Prints” yarn, but couldn’t find the proper pattern; so I made one.

I wanted to teach a friend how to do a ripple stitch, but couldn’t find a good, free, VERY simple dishcloth size pattern. So I wrote one myself.
