Designs: some of my patterns for sale ...

... over at my Ravlery store. 

I'm SLOWLY (I mean, slowly) getting some of my designs up on my Ravelry page.  As of today, I have 11 patterns listed -- some for sale and some freebies.  I've planned the month of June to get at least three new designs up a week ... maybe more!  So check back often.

Oh, and let me know what you think!

Online -- Free Knitting Patterns

OK, I'm cheap -- and I love seeing other's knitting patterns, not so much to make them as written, but to see new techniques or get ideas that I can then adapt to something else.

WELL, have I got a great site for y'all today: Free Knitting Patterns from Julie at "Little Cotton Rabbits". Here's an example of today's posting -- gorgeous, knitted Easter eggs to fill baskets! She has also posted the charts and blank graph paper so you can chart your own! Aren't these cute? She has you knit them flat, seam them and stuff them .... I'll probably make some, but I'll do them in-the-round so I don't have to seam (I HATE seaming!) ... also, I might make them with a bulky and fill them and use a drawstring at one end as "easter baskets" this year!

I love knitting and love thinking of knitting -- oh, if I only had more time TO KNIT!
