Guess what?

I have a second Etsy shop!

www.owlsinstitches.etsy.com

What is it?

A shop selling PDF patterns as instant downloads.

What are they for?

For now it's only knit and crochet patterns but soon there will be cross-stitch as well!
The knit/crochet ones are also available as Ravelry downloads. (You don't need an account.)

An Etsy exclusive includes the 3 for $10 headband pattern bundle. (Thanks to the lovely Leia for modeling!)

Itching to Knit

With the cooler weather comes the uncontrollable urge to curl up with a cup of tea to make cozy things with colourful yarns. Last year I made seed-stitched cowls, cabled boot cuffs and braided headbands. What should I do this year? I am leaning towards stocking up on pillow forms, thick yarns and whipping up a batch pillows for my bed, but for now here are some fabulous patterns I've come across lately that would make amazing gifts:

Devonshire Cream pattern by Laura Aylor

Chic Easy Shrug by Fine Craft Guild (sign up to view the pattern)
