Updated patterns!

I'm in the process of updating my old patterns, particularly the bibs, to include charts. I'm rewriting some of the directions to make the patterns even easier and including alternative methods for beginning the bibs and for making the ties. Look for these patterns in the sidebar to see which ones have been added. It's a slow process, but eventually, they'll all be there!

Thank you so much Elaine, I love your designs. They knit up so beautifully. And I do love Rudy. I have made the Baby Snowman too and will definitely be doing more. Any chance of a cute penguin?

Thank you for taking the time to post all of these sweet washcloths. I am a beginner knitter. I was looking for some small washcloths for my son when I ran across these. By far the cutest, most creative I have seen so far! Your awesome!

Hi to all have just got into knitting again. I am enjoying knitting dish cloths at the moment and am wondering if anyone has or knows were I can get a Owl dish cloth pattern free.

Hi Elaine, I love your designs! I am a dedicated knitter and am always looking for beautiful patterns to make. I make all my knitted items for gifts for family and friends and they all love what I give them. You are awesome...keep posting! :)

Hi Elaine!

I LOVE your patterns. But instead of the dishcloth I checkerboard the patterns into afghans. The favorite of the moment is using the Tunie fish, turtle and seahorse in a sea green color for an under the sea afghan! ALL my friends love your designs. Keep posting!
