It's a Jungle Out There!

Meet the newest addition to The Pattern Box animal patterns!

I have finally written up and taken some photographs of the Giraffe pattern. If you're interested, he (or she!!!) is for sale at The Pattern Box. After purchasing, you can download it right away! Why not turn your own backyard into a jungle this summer and knit the lion and the elephant, too? All are knit in the round on double-pointed needles (size US 8) and then felted in your washing machine. I hope you'll give them a try!

A Snappy Egg!

Here's something else you can do with my free Panoramic Egg and Egg Box pattern. After you've felted the egg, carefully cut the top off (only about the top inch or so), then cut out "V" shapes all around. I stuffed a little bit of my Kool-Aid-dyed roving into the bottom, then put Big Chick in. This is the egg knit on size US 8 needles. Try the smaller version (knit on size US 6 needles) to have smaller chicks or bunnies peeping out!
