Free Pattern – Streeterville Cowl
Stay warm and cozy without a lot of bulk! The Streeterville cowl works up quickly, and the linen stitch pattern creates a light and drapey fabric. I designed this for the yarn from one of my early attempts at spinning. The stitch pattern really allows the texture of uneven or thick-and-thin yarns to shine, so it's great for novice spinners! It softens color transitions too, so works well with self-striping yarns.

Free Pattern – Pacific Sunset Mitts
I got a skein of Lion Brand Landscapes yarn in a goodie bag at the Knit and Crochet Show last year. It’s a soft and silky, worsted weight, acrylic yarn. It’s just a little bit fuzzy, so it has a nice, soft “halo” to it when it’s worked up.The lovely yarn does all the work in this basic fingerless mitts pattern. It works up fast, and is fun and easy to make! 3/2/2016 – Marie Segares of the Underground Crafter has made a podcast version of this pattern! Check it out! This pattern is protected by copyright.
