Scrappy Stitchers Link Party #37
There were so many great projects linked up in the last Scrappy Stitchers Link Party of 2017. I think it was our biggest yet. The most clicked was this fantastic, Cubine Blanket by Haekelfieber. It's certainly eye catching!

Free Pattern – Printers Row Mitts
Make a statement in shades of grey! Eye-catching stripes in neutral colors make the Printers Row Mitts a versatile accessory that goes with just about anything. Worked sideways in garter stitch, they are squishy and warm, and stretch to fit a wide variety of hand sizes. Shaping both above and below the thumbs ensures a snug, comfortable fit.

Knitted Kitchen #46 – Latvian Braid
The Latvian Braid stitch is a variant of fair isle / stranded colorwork, alternating between 2 colors. Raised "braids" are created by intentionally carrying the unused color across the right side of the work in a specific way. This pattern includes photos of the technique, plus a more in-depth video tutorial.

Free Pattern – Snow Day Slouch
As a child, few things were more magical than a snow day. I still love waking up to a world that's all fluffy and white, under a dusky blue sky. Take a bit of that magical feeling with you whenever you wear this Snow Day Slouch! Knit in a bulky yarn, it's soft and squishy and warm, and works up quickly too. The stitch pattern is much easier to make than it looks, and is mostly knit stitches!

Sewn Tubular Bind Off in the Round
The tubular bind off is my absolute favorite for 1/1 (knit/purl) ribbing. This sewn bind off is very similar to working a kitchener stitch, as though the knits were on one side and purls on the other. It creates a stretchy edge that looks like the ribbing has just flowed right over it. When working this bind off in the round, I do it a little bit differently than most tutorials I have seen. I find this way gives me a more seamless join at the end of the round.

We had some fun Halloween / autumn projects in last month's link up. The most clicked link though was the gorgeous, cable knit, Grey Days Beanie from the Underground Crafter. I love the little peek of added texture in the cables!
