Spring Ahead?

Whether you are among the "wanna spring ahead" crowd, or the "of all things, just leave the time alone" crowd, one fact remains the same...there are the SAME number of fiber hours a day either way! To help make it through the daylight savings blues, or to celebrate daylight savings (depending on which crowd you are in!) we have compiled a few patterns from ravelry.com that are awesome and trendy right now:


Gatsby Crescent Shawlette




Holden Shawlette

Holden Shawlette is a free download and is lovely in sock yarn!


Bolster Pillow with Needle Felted Embellishments

This pattern calls for worsted weight yarn and would be lovely in 
Noro, Crystal Palace, or Classic Shades from Universal!


Beautiful Man...er..I mean "Beautiful Pillows for around the house!"

Bulky yarn left over from winter knitting projects?  Finding bulky yarn on sale 'somewhere'?
These pillows would be just the thing!

So go ahead, turn those clocks ahead and change the batteries in your smoke detectors!  You have knitting to do!
