Hi guys! Sorry about the sick week, but I’m guessing you didn’t really notice anyway, given that we’re all blog junkies here. I have a very hard time keeping up!
Although, having said that, I am fishing for good knitting blogs – if you know of any, please leave their name or address in the comments! I’ve only just started knitting, but I’m keen.
Well, on to the features:
My friend and bee mate Sarah over at FairyFace Designs finished this Skittles quilt top with Kate Spain Central Park fabric – isn’t it adorable?
Suzy from Suzy’s Artsy Craftsy Sitcom made this hilarious Brady Bunch cake for her sister – and there’s a tutorial if you want to make one too!
Karen from Sew Much 2 Luv made this sweet Margarita apron for the Hot Mama Apron Swap – which I totally missed 🙁
And I had to mention this knitted baby blanket from Craftopotamus – I’m tempted to make an infinity scarf like it!
Thanks! If you’ve been featured and want a button, they’re up on the top left. See you guys Monday (and I might even have quilt pics from the Festival of Quilts. If. You’re. Lucky.)

Thanks so much for the feature, Jenna!! I’m always thrilled when I show up on your awesome blog!
As for knitting blogs- well Ravelry.com is one of my favorites. Lots of free patterns and lots of folks to knit along with.

In a bit of shameless self-promotion, I will recommend my own blog! It has been quite stitchy recently, but it is sometimes quite knitty as well, and I have some patterns and tutorials in my archives. The other lovely one is the Skein Queen blog – she is an indie dyer who produces the most wonderful yarn. And I would endorse the Ravelry recommendation above – I am Pomonaknits on Ravelry and you can also see my knitting related blog posts listed there. If you join Ravelry you need never buy a pattern again, there are so many wonderful free ones available!

Thanks so much for featuring my baby blanket and I think it WOULD make a gorgeous scarf! Let me know if I can help. Any my favorite knitting blog is Zibeline Knits. Keya is one of the nicest people in blogland and she has some beautiful patterns and amazing hand-painted yarn. Check her out here… http://zibelineknits.blogspot.com/

What a gorgeous mail surprise! Love that colorway
It seems like you are feeling better and that’s what matters! I got my jelly roll on Wednesday! It’s so pretty, now I just need to figure out what to do with it 🙂 I’ve never had one before. I’m waiting on a book from the library, maybe that will help me!
My FAVORITE knitting blog? Why,it is The Yarn Harlot at: http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/ She never fails to make me laugh, and much of what she talks about regarding knitters and their yarn obsessions, also applies to quilters and fabric!!
