Make a super cute Koala Softie

Last year I made a cute Owl Softie. Yes, I can sew a bit. If this easy project interests you, visit saffroncraig.com  for pretty pretty fabric!

Enjoy your summer of knitting.

Summer With Love...

Just because it's summer, doesn't mean we can't crochet this adorable Juicy Fruits Throw. If you're like me, you love the cool air but,not necessarily blowing on you. That's where this colorful throw comes in.

Free Juicy Fruits Throw crochet pattern from Red Heart and tutorial.

You might also enjoy crocheting this Bright Squares Art Throw. 

or maybe get your knit on with the Cell Phone Resting Place Pillow or Cabled e-Reader Cozy.  

All of these projects are be made With Love Yarn from Red Heart.

Take a little time to knit or crochet for your mental health, focus and creative needs.

Happy World Wide KIP

I'ts not too late to knit in public during World Wide Knit in Public Day- June 8-16, 2013! I urge you to grab your needles and yarn and go find like minded knitters through your local yarn stores, groups, and on the web. And don't forget to share you experiences on social media.

Check out this video of Liat Gat's (KNITFreedom) interview about the how knitting saved her life.




Have a knitty weekend everyone!
