A Freebie No More

Please don't be cross, but if you're here for the Bryant's Slipover pattern, I've taken it down.  It's been made available here for $5.50 USD:

Until I have a chance to read over the contract fine print, this seems to be the best option.  My sincere apologies.

Christmas Is On The Way

and as is custom in our family, we're all busy making gifts.  Fortunately none of my family frequents here, so I can share it all with you.

Handkerchiefs soon to be monogrammed , for my Grampa.  Aside from myself, he's the only person I know who uses them anymore.  I find them charming and old-fashioned, just like him.

A sketch and skein, soon to be a wrap-front cardigan with a shawl collar and simplistic cable details, for my mother.

A quilt of baby clothes and hand-stitched words for Sadie.  It will hopefully serve as a reminder to her of all the wonderful qualities that were hers when she was born.

There will also be a few small knit items, maybe another quilt and an embroidered apron.  If there's time and budget left, and if I can find the right yarn, I think certain members of my family would love those Aran Isle Slippers.

Oh, and at the risk of being two months early, and politically incorrect, both at the same time, Merry Christmas!
