November, 2016
 


 


  It is November, but the weather is still fairly mild.  A rainy pineapple express blew through Victoria last week,  but after that, we had a few beautiful days of spring like weather.

Everyone is in the swing of Christmas knitting and stitching, and below are a few new patterns to add to your list of must-dos!


Artisan Booklet 363


This booklet has some wonderful designs, including these:


Calletta, knit in Artisan yarn.
