Not One

Several times a year I try to make sure that I have a way of offering knitters a chance to knit my patterns for FREE.

Knotions helps me do that by...well...buying the pattern so you can knit it!  It works really well all around, you get a free pattern, I get some money for the parts of designing that cost "cold hard cash" and can continue designing!

This month Knotions accepted two patterns from me...so without further ado....

For the Scarf/Shawlette/Shawl lovers.

Somebody Told Me.

This crescent shaped piece starts with a larger than normal (for me) garter tab and then grows to either a scarf, a shawlette or a full sized shawl.
 
 You, or the amount of yarn you have, can pick the size as the charts are modular.  (Meaning you can repeat one of them as many, or as few, times as you would like!)
 

Smocked Leaves Socks.

Cuff down, twisted ribbing, a slightly unusual smocked stitch and leaves...what more could a girl want in some socks?


The links take you to the individual patterns, but as always you can see the entire portfolio of Mary E. Rose Designs patterns here in my Ravelry Store!

Callie's Braids

 

I think that spring has finally sprung in Central Ohio...the past few days have been glorious!  A slight chill to the air in the mornings, with gentle breezes and sunshine in the afternoons!

Perfect weather for layering your favorite knitted goods....fingerless mitts on early morning walks, or when the air-conditioning in the office is a little too much.

Callies Braids...
