If you're a subscriber of my email newsletter, you've probably already seen this, but I think it bears repeating here (this time with pictures).

I've been hard at work perfecting crochet patterns for my various shops and I'm very excited to share them with you:
HOLIDAY GIFTS
Yes, I realise it's August, and hot as can be outside for many of us, but now is the best time to think about crocheting those smaller Holiday gifts. Before we settle down with afghans (and afghan projects) on our laps, lets focus on the quickies and get them crossed off our lists.
It's been my experience that the toughest patterns to find online are those for mittens and and unisex or masculine hats, so I've come up with a few and am working on more. Thus far, I've posted two patterns for hats and one for mittens. They all use basic worsted weight yarn in your choice of fiber. More will be forthcoming as soon as I find a moment to type them up properly. Matching scarf patterns are also in the works, so look for them in the near future.

KITCHEN HELPERS
This one is literally hot off the press. Just last night I posted the pattern for Chubby Nubby Towels You guessed it! The main pattern is for a hanging towel that matches the Chubby Nubby Scrubby which has become quite a hit. It also includes instructions for a flat towel that matches as well as variations so you can "mix it up" in your own kitchen! This pattern is available by itself and, by the end of the day today, will be bundled with the matching scrubby at a discounted price. Fear not; if you have already purchased the scrubby pattern and would like to take advantage of the discount, simply contact me via one of my shops or email and a special listing will be made for you at the discounted price in the shop of your choosing.
Coming soon will be a matching potholder/hot pad and I'm opening my ears to any requests for other matching items. If you have any requests, send them to me and I'll do my best to oblige. I plan to do the same for the Tiny Bubbles Scrubby in my shops as well as the free Big Girl Scrubby posted here on my blog, so keep your eyes peeled for those. Before you even have a chance to ask, yes, the match to the freebie will be here for free!
LIGHTBULB LOVIES
And finally, I've introduced my own amigurumi patterns called "Lightbulb Lovies," so named because the base body is the shape of a lightbulb. Thus far, three styles are available: "Lovey" the lightbulb, my mascot and fit model, "Salonga" the panda, and "Jackman" the koala. Almost ready to go are Kris and Martha Kringle which will be posted soon.
Each of the Lovies sits about 5 1/2 to 6" tall and is worked with a "join as you go" method to eliminate the need for endless sewing once the crochet pieces are finished. Currently on the drawing board is an entire menagerie and, at the request of one of my valued blog readers, a Nativity which I hope to have done and listed before the end of September.
