Remember this post, well, more birthdays are coming up in my daughter’s Sunday school class, and even though the last birthday will be in November, I really wanted to finish sewing them all, so I can start on something new.  I’m just not very good at starting many projects at once because I like to read further...

a free PDF knitting pattern from Cotton & Cloud. I found this pattern by accident when I was blog surfing for nothing specifically and somehow it caught  my eye.  Now I’m not sure if it’s because the scarf was knitted up in red wool or the pattern looked interesting enough to not bore me while read further...
