    Something New: The Pattern Exam

    A group of bloggers launched something new today called The Pattern Exam!

Another blogger came up with the awesome idea of testing various categories of sewing patterns […]

    Circle Shrug Free Pattern

    Happy Thursday! Today I have a really easy and customizable FREE pattern to share with you! I kept seeing a ton of these drape cardigans out there, but nothing in a circular shape like I see in a lot of knitting patterns. So I thought I’d put one together, and I’d give others the chance […]

    Around the World Blog Hop

    Mustache Cowl for Movember!
