It’s been a while, but I finally managed to get some pics of the Somerset Beach Top. I designed this last Summer and then tucked it away for safe keeping. Since I hadn’t snapped and photos I put it in my “do not wear” pile. Now I’m excited that I can finally queue it up…

Greenlawn: A Free Crochet Blanket Shrug Pattern
Sometimes you need a break from the complicated projects. A brain break. A popcorn project (ie an addicting pattern with lots of repetition). That’s what this Greenlawn blanket shrug has been for me. Scroll down for the free pattern, or download the (still free) PDF of the pattern from HERE. Materials Yarn: Lion Brand Color…
Love Gone Sideways: A Throw & A Turn Of Events
It’s been a little while since my last post. I haven’t stopped knitting and designing, but life went a little sideways. As it does from time to time. Remember that sweater I made the boyfriend and said wasn’t cursed? Back peddle. It must have been. We broke up almost simultaneously as I gave it to…
Surviving The Boyfriend Sweater Curse
The sweater is done! I’ve never made a dude a sweater before, so this is kinda huge. Really huge is the fact I finished and it fits just like he wanted it to. I admit that I procrastinated a little. I’m not typically superstitious, but this boyfriend sweater curse idea has been floating around on…
Oyster Bay: A Knit Shawl Pattern
Oyster Bay is a chunky weight knit shawl pattern from Fiddle Knits Designs. Worked in MeriPaca yarn from We Are Knitters.
Piedmont Raglan: Test Knit Call!
I know a few of you out there have been waiting on this design. It’s ready for testing! Interested? Email me at: fiddleknitsdesigns@gmail.com I’d consider this a Fall or Spring sweater. For transitional weather. Based on the sleeve length and the yarn I used. Of course, it’s perfectly acceptable as a winter sweater as well…
Test Knit Call: The Remake Raglan
Love test knitting? Here’s one for you then. I just finished writing up the Remake Raglan sweater and need some eyes on it. Once checked it will become a free pattern available via my blog and Ravelry. Here’s what you need to know… Worked from the bottom up. The yarn is Lion Brand Wool-Ease Worsted….
On A Roll With Raglans
I don’t know if it’s the cool weather kicking in or what, but I’ve been on a serious sweater kick recently. And so far they’re all raglans. Bottom up (because I hate flipping the whole sweater around to work the sleeves of a top down raglan). I’m on my third sweater in about a month….
Settling In
I moved! In the last week Rick and I have been settling in to our new apartment. It’s good to be back out on Eastern LI. We’re mostly unpacked. Mostly. All my yarn and needles are still in bins in the craft closest. But I have a set of circulars and a few projects unpacked…
Home Dec
I’ve never been much for home decor knit/crochet projects. But then I was never truly in control of all aspects of the decorating. Now I am! And I’m interested. So I’ve got the basket thing going. Making belly baskets and probably just a large bucket kind of bag using Lion Brand Fast-Track yarn. But I’m…
