a simple correction

2014 Holiday Crafts issue

A big 'thank you' to the person that brought to my attention the errors in the Better Homes & Gardens Holiday Crafts roly-poly snowman pattern. I am grateful that they are minor, but nonetheless, here are the simple corrections:

• Small red jingle bell for the stocking cap’s pompom (it was omitted from the materials list)

• White roving (on the materials list, but not needed)

• In the abbreviations section, ‘inc 1’ was omitted. This increase method is knitting into the front and then into the back of the same stitch, increasing one.

• Stocking cap: round 19 should read *k2, k2tog*

I never got to proof the copy after I had sent it to the magazine, but mistakes happen. Sorry for any inconvenience. 

Happy knitting!

roly-poly snowman

roly-poly snowman aka snowbaby updated

August 2014

I am excited to announce that one of my patterns is featured in the Better Homes & Gardens 2014 Holiday Crafts issue! 'Roly-poly snowman' is what the magazine calls it, but it's still basically my snowbaby pattern updated. I changed out the arms to woolly ones rather than twig-like. Now you will have two options to choose from.

BHG did a beautiful job with the layout and photography. It inspired me to knit a snowbaby, believe it or not! This issue has several fun loving projects that have intrigued me, like the snowman made from fast drying clay atop styro-foam balls sprinkled with glitter. Doesn't that sound like fun?

Just wanted to share the good news and say 'thanks' for supporting me and my patterns throughout the years.

FYI, The falling snow is optional to this design!


Happy knitting!
