Blixa, I know, knits, and I think there are a few others here who enjoy knitting.

At any rate, any of you fellow knitters out there, I found a really fun website for free patterns, and am in the process of starting three new projects. (Yes, I am that ADD...LOL)

Here is the website:

Here are the three projects I am doing:

Mini Monkey:

I have always wanted to make a stuffed animal, and have always loved these. My younger daughter used to call them "monk monks".

This is a sweater for my son:

And this is a laptop case:

I'm going yarn shopping tonight after work. :mrgreen:

Two best online knitting sources I know. I've not been knitting for a while now, though, and at this point I only use vintage/antique needles, vintage/deadstock yarn and pattern books from the 30's and 40's (mostly from Minervia yarns). It's a real headache because everything has to be resized, but I seem to like to make problems for myself. : )

I am working on the mini monkey today. Instead of brown, I am making my mini monk pink! I will take a picture and show it to you gys once it's done. The only thing that is rather difficult is that the needles are small, 2.75 mm. I am not used to working with such small stitches. My last several projects have been sweaters.

Hey, do they make a cotton/latex blend yarn?
