As promised, but a day late: Saturday, Pattern Day.

If you are knitting or have already knit a pattern that I’m talking about, leave me a comment and I’ll update my post with a link to your version. If you’ve written up a pattern and you want me to link to it, send me an email or leave me a comment and I’ll post it! It makes the list longer and my job easier.

  • This is so very cute! I love this Bluebird.
  • You want more animals? Here’s a pair of humping crochet tortoises. Slow and steady does win the race, after all.
  • I had an idea like this Skeleton Cardigan, but it had more cables. Scoop’d!
  • Tipsy is a nice basic scarf.
  • This Brioche Hat is also quite nice.
  • Some from Through The Loops that I hadn’t seen before: Rickenbacker (PDF), Ampersand (PDF), Mirelle (PDF), Rhodie (PDF), and Chevron Mitts.
  • EZ’s Mitts are of course wonderful. I’d love to knit a pair of these.
  • These Garter Stripe Beanies are so beautiful! I have to make some.
  • After ogling it from afar, I’m glad this Mario Beret pattern is available to knit!
  • I kinda want to make these Bunny Egg Cozies for Easter. It’s coming soon! And then I can finally drink some damn juice. Damn you, Lent! Damn you!
  • The Anti-Craft with another crazy pattern, this time an Axe and Chainsaw.
  • This Mossy Jacket is adorable.
  • Laure is so purty!
  • The Sullivan Street Bolero looks really cute, but also really complicated. Maybe it just looks complicated because there are so many photos illustrating everything so it looks like a long process. Hey, who am I to complain about a long, complicated process? I wrote a pattern for a soccer ball.

Other things: STOP. Cute: GO!

Traffic Light Nest

This is an adorable pattern. I love the mouth details! And the antennae! And everything!

Last year I came upon this post of a beautiful sweater and was struck by its tendency to accentuate a particular body part. My comment was: “I love how it screams: ‘LOOK AT MY BOOBS!’”

Well, now there are sweaters that specialize in the accentuation of other, less obvious areas of the female anatomy.

KnitPicks Mockneck Pullover

I am dubbing this “The Vagina Pullover.”

Guys… OMG Guys… GUYS, OMG!!
