Happy New Year!

Whew... we made it through the holidays. I was able to finish all but 1 Christmas project! (That item will instead be a birthday gift.)

I had fun knitting several wearables...
Caron X Pantone Knit Fair Isle (free pattern)

Sunset Hat (free pattern)

Little Hearts Fair Isle Hat

Copycat beanie (free pattern) and Wintered Wheat Mitts

Rye Socks (free pattern)

My Guys beanies (my pattern - hope to share here soon)

And this adorable teddy bear for my middle son...
Magic Loop Teddy (free pattern)
And here's the gift set I made for my mother-in-law...

I'm blown away by the generosity of people willing to give away their patterns! Many of the items here were made using free patterns. Check out my Ravelry project page to see more items I've made from free (and paid) patterns: Stephanie's Projects.

Happy knitting, sewing, and of course, Happy New Year!

Throughout the tutorial and at the end I will have some helpful hints enclosed in *.  If you're a beginner sewer, it may be helpful to read through all of them before beginning this project.  I hope they help!
