Knitting Patterns Discussed:
Basic Cuff Up Mitten pattern by Patti Pierce Stone
4 new headbands Bow Headband- free pattern by Erin Kate Archer
- Pichous for my nephew (made 2 pair because the first pair seemed to small)
- Parkspin Slippers pattern- basically the same slipper pattern I used for the adult sized slippers that I talked about in the last episode. I was going to modify that pattern myself to make them for the kiddos, but this pattern already had the math done for me.
- Vancouver Fog Mitts- free pattern by Jen Balfour
Drawstring bag using this tutorial.
