NEW PATTERN!!!!
🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂
Pour a cup of hot apple cider, grab a fresh baked cookie from the plate and say hello to 🍂 ~ HOME IS WHERE THE HEARTH IS ~ 🍂.
Home Is Where the Hearth Is (Cozy) is the eleventh pattern in the Storytime Knits Collection. This design was inspired by and directly complements the children’s book, “In November” written by Cynthia Rylant and illustrated by Jill Kastner. 📚
I hope you had an opportunity to watch the videos I posted in Stories 📹 yesterday of me reading and flipping through the book. This book has the prettiest watercolor illustrations and such clear imagery, which makes you feel the coziness of each scene. In the book, we see page after page of how both people and animals settle in and prepare for the cold days of winter ahead while soaking up the coziness of the last weeks of fall.
This pattern includes instructions for a standard hot water bottle cozy AND a doll-sized one (isn’t everything doll-sized adorable?). Both feature a colorwork log cabin motif on the front in warm autumnal colors. Shown here in ‘s Good Wool yarn (and boy is it gooooood!) in Apple Cider, Hay Field, Red Prune, and Winter Grass.
Pop over to Ravelry to give the 🍂 Home Is Where the Hearth Is 🍂 a little extra love ♥️♥️♥️ and to pick up your pattern. If you participated in the pre-order, you should already have your copy of the pattern in your Ravelry library/email.

Say hello to my newest design ~ PINK SKIES ~ !!!🌅
The Pink Skies shawlette was designed specifically to use a sock set (a full skein and coordinating mini skein of sock/fingering weight yarn). This past winter, I fell in love with the gorgeous colorways from Salty Blonde Fibers l and have been dreaming up various sock set designs since.
The bulk of Pink Skies is knit in super simple garter stitch in 2-Ply Sock yarn in the Jane/Mr. Bingley colorways. The stockinette sections of Soft Silky Mohair (in Poppy Rose) were added to both give the shawlette a bit more length and to include a dash of romance and dreaminess. And oh is it dreamy!
Please pop over to Ravelry to give PINK SKIES a little ❤️ and to pick up your pattern. 🤑PATTERN SALE: Today through Sunday, October 13, 2024, take 20% off of Pink Skies on the Ravelry website (see link in profile). No coupon code needed. Discount will be taken automatically at checkout.

Say hello to the 🦔 ~ HEDGIE’S HAT ~ 🦔. This pattern is the ninth design in the Storytime Knits Collection 📚 and is directly inspired by children’s book “The Hat” written and illustrated by Jan Brett.
I hope you had an opportunity to watch the videos I posted in Stories yesterday of me reading and flipping through the book. This book is just the sweetest and has the most beautiful illustrations of animals and knitwear.
As you can see, the Hedgie’s Hat pattern mimics the patterns of the sock stuck on Hedgie’s quills (his hat). My Hedgie’s Hat was knit in the lovely Scout yarn from Kelbourne Woolens, a fabulous yarn company from the Philadelphia area (you know I love all things Philadelphian). Scout is a soft, heathered, dk weight wool yarn that really shows off colorwork beautifully and is incredibly comfortable to wear. Shown here in Natural and Scarlet Heather.
The Hedgie’s Hat pattern comes in 3 sizes and fits children medium through adult large.
Pop over to Ravelry to give the 🦔 Hedgie’s Hat 🦔 a little extra love ♥️🤍♥️🤍♥️ and to pick up your pattern. If you participated in the pre-order, you should already have your copy of the pattern in your Ravelry library/email.

NEW PATTERN!!!!
Say hello to the 🐻 ~ SCRAPPY BEAR CLAW MITTS ~ 🐻. This pattern is the eighth design in the Storytime Knits Collection 📚and is directly inspired by children’s book “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” written by Michael Rosen and illustrated by Helen Oxenbury.
Any quilters out there? Did you spot the “Quilty” part of this design? These fingerless mitts feature the traditional bear claw quilt block through colorwork knitting.
I knew early on that I wanted this design to have stranded colorwork knitting. So I went stash diving to pick out lots of colors that reminded me of summer camp, but also were shown in the book. The Scrappy Bear Claw Mitts shown here are in a variety of colors of Seed Fi*****ng from . You won’t need more than a 20g mini skein of each color!
Pop over to Ravelry to give the 🐻 Scrappy Bear Claw Mitts 🐻 a little extra love 💚💙🩵💛🧡🤎 and to pick up your pattern. If you participated in the pre-order, you should already have your copy of the pattern in your Ravelry library/email.

Please give a warm welcome to ~ F I N E L I N E S ~ a simple striped home decor pattern designed to show off the uncomplicated natural beauty of h**p yarn.
This pattern includes instructions for (2) placemats, and two different length table runners.
Shown here is the short table runner. I knit this in H**p for Knitting’s Allh**p6LUX (**p_ ) a soft dk weight h**p yarn that comes in the prettiest colors. Mine was made with Ice as the main color and Caper for the contrasting stripes. 🧶
This pattern is BEGINNER FRIENDLY. If you can cast on, knit, purl, and bind off, then you can easily make this design.
I do include a few tips for knitting with h**p in the pattern. This is my first design with h**p yarn and I learned a few tidbits that made the process smoother for me. 🛟

NEW PATTERN!!! Say hello to...
🎯 ~ D A R T ~ 🎯
DART is my newest dishcloth pattern featuring a cheery three-triangle intarsia motif. 🔺🔻🔺
If you have never tried intarsia, now is the time and DART is the pattern! It's super easy to do! Dart includes a vivid chart and clear tips on how to create a smooth transition between colors.
This pattern uses small amounts of Dishie yarn, my favorite yarn for dishcloth knitting. 🧶 They have so many inviting colors to choose from on the Knit Picks website. Admittedly, I went stash diving for this design (good heavens, you should see my enormous stash of Dishie. It's shocking! 🤯 )
Dart is such an easy and addictive knitting pattern that I dare you to knit JUST ONE!
Today (April 16) through Thursday (April 18), DART is ON SALE for 20% off on the Ravelry website (see link below). No coupon code is needed and the discount is taken automatically at checkout. This makes the final price for the pattern only $3.20!!

The Peter Rabbit Finger Puppets pattern is the fourth pattern in the Storytime Knits Collection. This design was inspired by and directly complements the children’s book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter. This pattern includes directions for 4 of the characters from the book: Peter, Mrs. Rabbit, Mr. McGregor, and the White Cat.
This adorable set of characters was knitted with five different colors of Chickadee yarn, a sport weight wool yarn from Quince & Co ( ). You only need a small amount of each color. So there is ample left-over yarn from the project to make multiple sets of characters.
Pop over to Ravelry (see link in profile) to give the Peter Rabbit Finger Puppets pattern 🐇 a little extra love 💕 and pick up your pattern today. If you participated in the pre-order of the collection, the pattern should be in your email or Ravelry account already!
Happy knitting 🙂
