Knitting was my first love and will always be a comfortable place for me to exist. Like many of you, I enjoy the portability and wide range of projects to explore. Here are knitting patterns I've made to inspire your knitting journey!

This is the Paddington Neck Warmer by designer Roxanne Wood, that I found as a free knitting pattern on Ravelry.com. It was super easy and quick to make. One of those in-front-of-the-TV projects that doesn't need too much concentration. The end result? A warm and stylish neck warmer!

Me and my shrug :)
The inspiration for this pattern came from the need for a shoulder shrug to wear before Barre class. Not that I take Barre classes, but I know someone who does, and she suggested a simple thing to wear before you get warm in class. This would even be good for a…
