On the kneedles

Paprika’s Reversible Dishcloth by Kimberly (aka Sockbunny).

Tip of the Week-
When knitting fingerless gloves, use a stretchy bind off. I used Elizabeth Zimmerman’s sewn bind off for my first Beanstalk glove and it worked beautifully.

Love of Knitting Fall 2011.
I have so many people to thank for all the kind words and virtual hugs given to me after the death of my beloved cat Daisy. It means so much to me.

Lisa Woynowski designs toys, and her designs are either knit or crochet and they are adorable! You can find her designs in her ravelry store , or at her : etsy store here. She was kind enough to send me some patterns, a cute turkey named Teeves Turkey, and one called Shawn the Pickup Truck, which I think is really cool.
