Weekend Favorites

Hey, big news: I published a new pattern this week! I’ll share all of the gory details in a proper blog post next week, but for now you are welcome to wander over to the Downloads shop and have a peek at the May Baby Blanket pattern + tutorial. (Yay! 😊)

Images

The mosaic below represents other people’s pictures that spoke to me this week on Flickr and Instagram. Click on the titles below the mosaic to get a better look at the images and see more from the photographers who made them.

Here are a few interesting things from around the web that grabbed me this week:

  • How to remove coffee and tea stains from mugs naturally! – from The Creek Line House. Well, this is a tip that is going to benefit more than one of the mugs in my cabinet!
  • 5 Ways to Grow Your Instagram Following – from Chic in Academia. No matter how many good social media tips I read, I can’t seem to stop approaching social media from a seat-of-my-pants mindset. This is most true for me with Instagram, where I give very little (if any) forethought to what I post. Still, I enjoyed this article and I think I’ve taken away from it some ideas that even a spontaneous Instagrammer like me can use.
  • How to Finish a Facing with Bias Binding – from Tilly and the Buttons. I need to study this. I finish necklines with bias binding all of the time, and my results are not usually anything to write home about…
  • This Little Piggy – from Never Not Knitting. Oh, is this not the most adorable little baby hat ever?

And with that, I bid you farewell. See you tomorrow!

    Hi Lisa, that is a wonderful pattern and it’s great that you offer choices to your customers – either with tutorial or pattern only.

      Thanks! I used to only offer the full tutorial, but then it occurred to me that more experienced people really don’t need all of that 🙂
