Free Knitting Patterns

Today I'd like to share a few FREE knitting patterns I found on one of my internet journeys.

Since it's so close to Valentine's Day, I couldn't resist sharing these gorgeous little hearts from www.ravelry.com

That groundhog is trying to tell us we're having an early spring here in Ohio, but as I am typing this snow is falling here like crazy. It's still winter and there's still time to make a new hat, as far as I'm concerned. :-) Find out how to make this one at www.coloradomoms.com

These gorgeous towels with knit trim would be pretty no matter what the season. These would make a great bridal or wedding gift. Instructions can be found at www.tlc.howstuffworks.com

Easter isn't too far away. Wouldn't a basket full of these bunnies be adorable? This pattern can also be found at www.ravelry.com

Hope you've enjoyed the free patterns.

Make Your Own Window Seating Area

You don't need a bay window to have a great,  cozy seating area.   Here are some ideas for making one around a window.   These could easily be put together with ready made storage pieces.

I would love to do this in my bedroom.  

How about this one for a living room.   I love the basket storage under the seat.

And how about this one in a kitchen.
