I’ve been taking a much needed break from blogging the past couple of month but now, hopefully I’m back to my knitting. Does it seem to you that you’re more interested in knitting in the winter time? I hope now to get back to blogging regularly and I also hope to hear from readers about your current knitting projects. Have you taken a break for summer or are you working on holiday gifts-either for others or for yourself?
Do you have a knitting resolution for 2012? If you do, please feel free to share and read what my resolutions for Spinning Alpaca yarns are for the new year.
10% of the total earnings from my blog go to Friends of the Arlington, Texas Animal Services to help get abandoned dogs and cats new homes.
It’s icy in Texas today and I’m going to brew a pot of tea, put on a good Masterpiece Theater and finish this infinity scarf pattern for my daughter.
My tea pot needed a tea cozy to keep it warm on a cold winter afternoon. I found some wonderful free patterns for tea cozies which I share in this article. If you’ve made a tea cozy or love your afternoon tea, I’d love to hear from you.

Cowls are a beautiful fashion accessory and I’ve found dozens of free patterns to share. Cowls can be thick, bulky and warm or light, airy and lacy. Cowls can also be just large enough to make your neck and shoulders cozy or they can be made longer, like an infinity scarf, and wrap around your neck more than once.
Infinity scarves are very popular right now and if you’re tired of knitting the same old scarf patterns, an infinity scarf will give you a new and interesting pattern to create a beautiful piece. Find some tips and links to several free infinity scarf patterns.
Knit a scarf longways to create long vertical stripes or use a different yarn for each row to use up your yarn stash. Creates a unique look in knitted scarves.
I love a cozy winter evening, brewing a pot of holiday tea, watching a classic holiday movie and knitting some Christmas patterns. Make some keepsake ornaments for your children or grandchildren with these free patterns.
