Isn’t Election Day a good day to announce our Monthly Mixer? A time for all of us to come together for the good of the country and …. knit or sew? 🙂
This month we’re focusing on WARMTH. So for the knitters/crocheters, that means to make something out of worsted weight or bulky yarn that will keep you warm and toasty. For the sewists, that means making something out of flannel, that will keep you warm and toasty.
Need some ideas? Pick a pattern, then pop over and get yourself some fun new supplies!
Knitting/Crocheting: Barley, Baa-ble Hat or Cowl (see our blog post and yarn ideas here), Brickless, Bluebird of Happiness, Maize, Holiday Mice, Go With the Flow Scarf, Corner to Corner Snowflake Blanket, and Quaker Yarn Stretcher Boomerang.
Sewing: Pajama Pants (unisex, sizes XXS – 3XL, free pattern), 35 Projects to Sew With Flannel, Pet Beds, Christmas Tree Skirt, Make It Over the Weekend Flannel Quilt, and Baby Blanket with Mitered Corners.
Wishing you a day of warmth and creativity –
Sheri and The Loopy Ewe Crew
Yarn order placed! – I’ll be making the Across the Heath cowl. I have one on my needles not and it’s looking great and so quick in bulky yarn. Love the texture in it too. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/across-the-heath-cowl
