Things to Knit

July 20, 2016 Leave a Comment

Looking for something new to knit? These early fall patterns are to die for!

images via sources below 

Summer is great and all, but when we hit mid-July the early fall pattern releases start hitting. Then I’m all, “Knitting season is coming!!!” Even though you can bet your bottom dollar that most of these models were sweating their bottom dollars off in high-heat-plus-knitwear for these lovely snaps, these projects are to die for. I can’t wait til it’s cold out again! For now, let us all bow down to our future works in progress.

All of these patterns can be accessed by clicking the link to Ravelry below each photo. Speaking of which – are we Ravelry friends? If not, add me or join the Hands Occupied group. It’s fun!

A note on Very Serious Crafts: In the post I discuss stepping away from the @seriouscrafts podcast to give myself more time to devote to some minor medical issues. Don’t you worry - my health will be fine, & @molliejohanson @redhandledscissors and I are still pals, and after a short break of their own, the podcast will be back! Just sans moi. 💁🏼‍♀️😆
