Latest releases

Well it has been a busy couple of weeks.  I have been busy writing and having patterns tested.   So, we have a free pattern available here.  This is a little more advance than a beginner, but if you watch the videos at you tube, or view the Daisy Cluster photo explanation on this blog, it should help you complete this simple pattern.

Cowl made here with Yarn Bee Finale (more photos coming soon!!!)

Also being released today is the Yarn Yumminess Capelet.   It is named this because this pattern is designed to show off the yarn.  It works best with variegated yarns, and / or yarns with amazing texture.  It is a very simple pattern, and offers many weights of yarn, and many hook sizes.

Finally, we will be releasing VERY soon another capelet pattern and a wreath pattern!   So stay tuned!
