Free Sock Monkey Knitting Pattern for the Kindle

Sock Monkey Knitting Pattern

Look what I just found on Amazon. Isn't it cute?

Have you ever knitted a sock monkey? I've never tried, so I hope this pattern is easy to follow. Although I am a decent crocheter, I'm still very much a beginner when it comes to knitting.

Pretty Floral Granny Square

I found this beautiful floral granny square on Pinterest this morning and just had to share it with you.




Isn't it beautiful?

The URL to the site where the pin points to is:
http://www.liveinternet.ru/users/unelus/post241002725/

I went to the site to find the pattern - I've never crocheted by a graph - and the pattern is not in English. I hope that I'll be able to work it out just by the picture in the pin.

Have you ever crocheted using a graph pattern? How did it work out for you? Do you find it harder or easier than a regular, written out pattern?

Welcome to P.S. Annie's Grannies!


I am so glad that you stopped by to visit!

The purpose of this blog is to grow in the fiber arts, namely crocheting and knitting. I am working on a ministry to supply lapghans to a local nursing home based on the basic crochet pattern known as the Granny Square and will share how that goes here.

One of my aunts taught me to crochet years ago using the granny square pattern. She always had a project going and there were many granny square afghans throughout her home. She was as colorful as her afghans and I can still hear her laughter after all of these years. Rest in peace, Aunt Vi!

I welcome any of you that participate in charity knitting and crocheting to share it with us here. I would love to feature your charity. It does not have to be a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization. I just want to help you spread the word and get more recognition for your group. 

It is also my plan to share videos and links to free patterns. Whenever I get brave enough to attempt it, I will share simple patterns that I design with you. I would love for you to share your favorites patterns, tips, and anything else related to crocheting and knitting that you think would be helpful to the rest of us.

Happy stitching!
