GoKnit Bracelet Kit from Patternworks

I know that I've been bringing you a lot of products and free patterns lately, so I hope you're not overwhelmed, but I do try to post things as I find them.  This handy bracelet kit gives you instructions on triple bangle and the twist versions in six different color choices.  It's a great way to dive into knitting jewelry or a fun item to add to your knitting wishlist.

The Scarf Project for the 2011 Special Olympics is still on.  This year you have the option to pick a state to send your scarf(s) to, which is pretty cool.  The deadlines vary, but there's still time to whip up a scarf or two and lot's of free knit or crochet scarf patterns.  Please visit the guidelines page for details.

Happy scarf knitting!
