Three things you might be interested in:
1. Happy Honeymoon to Patti, who is offering all of her patterns at no charge between March 14-21 to celebrate. There are some really cute ones. Pop over and pick a few!
2. Miniature knitting jerseys wanted for the Tour de France! I think I like the yarnbombed bike idea better, but curious to see what they do with the jerseys.
3. How to sew a fabric lining into a handknit or crocheted bag. (And hey – we have the yarn and we have the fabric for you!)
Three ways to think outside the knitting and crocheting box:
1. A clock that knits as it ticks.
2. Taking knitting-in-a-rocking-chair to a whole new level.
3. A crochet yarn-bombing that goes to massive lengths. What a colorful sight!
Three things that I’m just not sure about.
1. Over-sized knitted stools. Not sure how comfortable those would be around the house.
2. A scarf that just might swallow you whole.
3. Knitted chicken jumpers. Although they’re pretty cute.
Three easy-to-sew project holders:
3. Open-top yarn or accessory holder.
Three famous knitters:
1. Lucy (knitting herself some stripey socks).
2. Jack Bauer (but I think he only knits gun cozies).
3. Sam the Squirrel (he needs reading glasses. I can relate.)
Three other cute sewing projects I have put on my to-make list:
1. An easy way to dress up store-bought towels and washcloths. Make sure you prewash both the towels and the fabric before sewing.
2. Purse organizer, knitting accessory organizer, car organizer – limitless uses.
3. Low maintenance kittens. No vet bills, no litter boxes, no meowing in the middle of the night.
Three people who have won something:

2. Winner of the First Quarter Challenge drawing (for a $25 Loopy credit): Cammy from NY who made the Racing Raindrops Scarf out of Shalimar Breathless.

Sheri thankstoPinterestforthephotosandinspiration
What a fun post! I loved that picture of Lucy.
Awesomesauce!
Love these ideas. Always looking for gift ideas, especially gifts for the teachers at the end of the year.
Thank you for such an informative post.
I printed a few of the patterns by patti Waters.
I saw you had pinned some of these things and wondered if I’d see them here!
Thanks for the chance.
Love the blog!
Sam the squirrel is the cutest!
Got to give a thumbs up to the yarn bombed train. Last fall, Pittsburgh area knitters/crocheters yarn bombed a local bridge with afghans.
You always have the most interesting news and Beautiful yarn!
I want that knitting clock! Great post, Sheri!
Love the squirrel!
I need to learn how to sew!!
Love those towels! What a great gift! I think a box bag out of fake fur would be the best. Gotta look for some furry zebra print fabric.
Thanks for the pin-able links, and the honeymoon patterns. Several things I hadn’t seen before!
Wow, so many wonderful links to explore. My project queue just grew exponentially!
Fun blog post! Love Sam the squirrel!

Um, yes please! You are now fueling my knitting AND sewing addictions! 🙂
Can’t wait to read about lining my knitted bag with a lining.
You guys are going to get me into sewing sooner or later. All these cute fabrics and great patterns…must resist!

Just love Sam the Squirrel in his reading glasses! What a fun photo! Love the link to the free knitting patterns and project bags patterns too. Thanks!
I love making box bags, although I’ve been kind of addicted to the Japanese Knot bags lately.
These were really cute. I might make the towels at some point.

Great links! I’ve seen that crochet bombed locomotive before and it is amazing!
Great post! I especially liked the knitting squirrel, and I need to go back and check out the low maintenance kittens. Thanks!
Now, I really want to make a box bag!
Yippee!! A three things list! Here’s one for you:
Three reasons to finish that red sweater I’ve been crocheting forever:
1. The cats are beginning to think it’s a cat bed.
2. I want to wear it.
3. It will actually fit me now. 😉
Great post. Loaded with goodies!
Love those chook jumpers!!!
Congrats to all the winners!!! Great post!

Lots of cool things. The clock and rocking chair knitting machines were great ideas. I think the bike jerseys will make a cool bunting! lol
