Knitting Patterns

Posted on by — Leave a reply

One of the websites I visit every day is at Free Read Feed.com which has a variety of books, fiction and nonfiction, free to download for my Kindle.

I don’t knit much anymore but I used to make afghans, scarves, etc. One of the books I found today for free download is Knitting Stitches Dictionary For Beginners (Knitting For Beginners) [Kindle Edition] by Sandra Harris. It can also be downloaded from Amazon at Knitting-Stitches-Dictionary.

Other books I found that are free at Amazon are:

  • New Favorites from Lion Brand: 15 Free Knitting Patterns for Scarves, Afghans and More
  • Welcome to Our Home – Knit and Crochet Ideas from Red Heart by Editors of FaveCrafts
  • Beginners Handbook of Knitting Stitches: Learn How to Knit Great New Stitches
  • The Best of the Midwest STITCHES Fashion Show: 7 Inspiring Free Shawl Patterns, Knit Tops & More

Happy knitting!

Color-and-Stitch Nativity Kit

The Posy Collection is a website which offers cross-stitch patterns and kits as well as craft ideas for the entire family.  Some of their offerings are free downloads.  For my fellow cross-stitchers, I suggest you have a look.  Their recent press release describes one kit, newly released Color-and-Stitch Nativity kit, for making a set of six nativity figures stand-up figures which can be colored with crayons and then embroidered.

The Color-and-Stitch Nativity kit, as well as several other of her faith-based kits, can be found at http://www.posycollection.weebly.com.
