gloves, knit, Oink Sock -

This pattern is available for $4.50 USD buy it now This pattern was part of the May 2012 Woolgirl Drink Inspired Club parcel. The theme was the Pink Squirrel cocktail. Now also available as a ravelry download! The squirrel wouldn’t like the cocktail half as much, if there wasn’t a good portion of that almond flavoured Crème de Noyaux in it!

kids & baby, knit, Oink Sport, sweater -

This pattern is available for $6.00 USD buy it now Once upon a time, I ran a Local Yarn Store. When a customer was working on the Karin Lace Shawl by Evelyn Clark, I immediately envisioned a mashup between the darling heart lace pattern in that shawl and Elizabeth Zimmerman’s February Baby Sweater — how apropos that Valentine’s Day falls in February! The original release of this pattern was a much simpler, one-size-fits-most sweater, much like Zimmerman’s work of genius. This update includes five sizing options for infants to 24 mos, as well as instructions for a sleeveless version for...
