New Designs

 These little monsters are half the size of my little creatures... but they still have all the bite.

I will be posting some free patterns soon for some mini monsters and some finger puppet ideas.

If you'd like to get your hands on some of these monsters or any of my other little creations then stop by the facebook page and have a look.  Or purchase one of my little creatures patterns online using the links in the sidebar.

Cheers,
Jenn

Spring Break Frisbee

I created this pattern while sitting next to the campfire during spring break. I made several of them... they didn't take anytime at all.

Round 2: 2 SC into each of the 6 stitches (12 st) Round 3: *SC into next SC, 2 SC into next SC* repeat around (18 st) Round 4: *SC into next 2 SC, 2 ...

Spring Wash Cloth

It's Springtime and as a result I've been experimenting with color. I've decided that I'm going to focus on learning new techniques by writing patterns for wash cloths.
