the ultimate wool ball

This is the sixth in our line of quick-to-knit patterns (and definitely the quickest!) Knit these fun wool balls for the kids or pets in your life. These are a great way to use up the odd bits of yarn left when you complete a project, and they can be worked on a variety of needle sizes to produce balls of different size. DK or worsted weight worked on size 6 needles will produce a hacky-sack sized ball, while the same yarn worked on size 10 needles will produce a softball sized ball, or you can then felt it to make a dense thick ball, perfect for teething babies (and dogs!) Dh's young cousins love to play hackey sack with these balls (fill them with lentils or rice for the perfect hackey-sack.)

This pattern is available on it's own, or in a kit with our very special handpainted yarns. The kit comes with enough yarn to complete at least three wool balls, as well as the pattern and jingle bells if you wish to have musical balls.

Of course, pattern comes complete with clear concise instructions, as well as an appendix that details any techniques that may be new or confusing at all. This pattern is definitely a great beginner's project. Would also be a great project to do with your Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts troop!

Supplies need for this pattern:

Dk or worsted weight yarn (less than 50 yards per ball)

your choice of size 6-10 needles

smocked frock **NEW**

This pattern is for a comfy party frock. It's perfect for frolicking in the summer sun, or for Easter with a long sleeved tee underneath. The skirt is easily shaped without any disruptive increases, so that the lines will be clean and flowing.

vested interests pattern

I think the sweater vest is one of the most versatile pieces of a kid's wardrobe. With jeans and a tee shirt, it's the perfect layer to add for a day frolicking at the park. With khakis and a collared shirt, it's ideal for church on Sunday. Dressed up or dressed down, this vest pattern is sure to be a great addition to your child's closet! Knit in worsted weight wool (or an acrylic/cotton blend), it's an ideal layering piece for those in-between days when you're not sure if it'll be warm or cool. Knit up a few in some fun spring colors, and maybe even add some embroidery for a vest as unique as your little one.

Of course, pattern comes complete with clear concise instructions, as well as pictures to illustrate all details. In 8 sizes from infant to 12, you can dress the whole brood with this pattern!

the easy peasy cardigan

Since the debut of our Learn to Knit Kit, we've had an overwelming number of requests for an easy baby sweater. Well, this is it! This sweater is designed for even a rank newbie knitter, and in worsted weight yarn it will knit quickly. It is knit in all garter stitch (so all you need to know how to do is the knit stitch) and all in one piece, so there's minimal seaming to do.

With sizes from preemie/newborn to 5T, you can keep all the wee ones in your house warm and cozy. Shown below in our variegated cotton yarn, with the hat pattern that's in our Learn to Knit Kit.
