Annie Belle

This is the second knitting of my pattern, "Marguerite Anne". I want to get a couple of more projects listed under my pattern. It is so cool to see that others have added it to their queue or have downloaded it.

This is hat #1 in my 11 hats in 2011 challenge.

Ollie

Well, I haven't done much this month other than knit. I don't have the energy to be active and you know I love me some knittin. Here is another pattern I came up with. The name comes from the eight ribs that come down from the crown of the hat. Click on the following link to download the pattern. download now
