The Bag Lady and The Pro

Michelle at http://miknits.blogspot.com/ had some of her own sock patterns. She’s keeping her patterns here. http://www.miknitspatterns.blogspot.com/ And one of her patterns was recently part of a sock club package.

Becck at http://forwardmotion.typepad.com/becca/ has 2 sock patterns on her left sidebar.

I may be back with more. I’ll be adding a post to my blog too.

My favorite is Tuulia - she happened to spoil me in SP11. She is so incredibly talented. One day, I hope to be brave enough to make Pohjan Neito (http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dctqn9j6_6d8vpnr). Her blog is tuulia.blogspot.com!

I’m posting the contest on my blog, too

ps - sorry i don’t know how to make the hotlinks work in a comment!

Is it tacky to list yourself? I don’t really promote my patterns, I guess I should… but they’re on my domain: http://crafty.mcmiller.ca

And for someone who is not me… I really like Eunny Jang’s designs even though I haven’t knit any of them. Print O’ the Waves Stole really calls to me.
http://www.eunnyjang.com

Of course I’ll post your contest up on my blog!

Sandra at http://www.imaybeknittingaranchhouse.com/ has a couple of sock patterns available on Ravelry.

I love the little candy bag at Amanda’s site and I talked you up on my blog today

http://nhknittingmama.blogspot.com/

and if it isn’t tacky to promote your self I have some patterns on my blog too but not nice and concise like in one spot, I have to work on that!!!

Okay, that last comment about Malabrigo to the winner got me! I’ll be back later to post a designer and link and all that good stuff.

http://smariek.blogspot.com/

is one of my favorites– my favorite–she’s so good about letting you know how to do something if you don’t understand it. I’ll blog about her, too, because she–and LOTS of other designers need to be thanked!
THANK YOU–for the contest, and all the new designers we’ll know about.

Spinndiva designed the Blue Jeans Lace Leaf Shawl that the Scary Lace Group on Ravelry is using for their March KAL.

I’ll be posting on my blog now!

I’ll post a blog post about the contest tomorrow! thanks again sweetness!

Kirsten at Through the Loops has some great patterns - both for sale and for free.

http://throughtheloops.typepad.com/through_the_loops/

I especially love the Belvedere sock, she designed it for me for a single sock swap - very sweet. The Thorpe hat rocks too:)

Hey! Thanks! So of course I have patterns for free (see my free patterns list at http://knitwithkt.blogspot.com/2007/07/knit-free-patterns-with-kt.html) as well as a new Ravelry store (http://www.ravelry.com/stores/katherine-vaughan-designs/).

But the pattern I just did that I love is the Tribble pattern: http://1870pearl.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/02/rubadubdub.html. Abigail (1870Pearl) has a bunch of other quick and template patterns - including the four corners dishcloth and a toe-up sock pattern.

I’ll be posting on my blog about the contest - and am looking forward to seeing the list you get!

I recently knit the Twisted Rope Scarf and it is a fast easy knit. You can see it on my blog Feb 18, 2008 entry.

I also have a few patterns on my blog, but nothing of consequence.

I’ll be posting about this contest on my blog. And I found out about this contest from Grace at Lovin Comfort Knits.

I was sent here by http://yarnfamily.com/blog1/

Thanks for the contest. I’m looking forward to seeing all the other designers that people post

Oooh! My new favorite… She has a great book out too, but there are some awesome free patterns HERE: http://spindyeknit.com/patternfiles/

(Don’t know how to hot link either.)

Of course, I’ll mention this contest when I blog…

Is it tactless to name yourself?

Well, assuming it is, I’ll nominate another designer: Vicki from Knitting Dragonflies. http://knittingdragonflies.blogspot.com/2008/02/what-color-is-puce.html

What a fun contest! Monika at Smokin Hot Needles has lots of great patterns. I especially like the bluebell socks and vertigo scarf.

I love the hat patterns at smariek knits (and she sent me here!)

http://smariek.blogspot.com/

Also Dropped a Stitch

http://droppedastitch.blogspot.com/

she’s got my hubby’s favorite hat!

[…] « (Anne) Congratulations and a Contest! | […]

I really like the Thorpe hat pattern posted here, but the other patterns look really great too!

My “Cosmic Sister” (http://krafty1.typepad.com/) has a couple sock patterns she’s created.

I f. pea’s free pattern fridays, and I fully intend to knit Every Single One of her baby things, as soon as one of my friends indulges my by getting pregnant.

I found this contest via. Alabama Fiber Dreams (dot wordpress).

Cheers!

The Sailing Knitter (http://www.sailing
knitter.blogspot.com/)has some great sock and hat patterns, she also has holiday ornament patterns that are wonderful. And she always has some interesting tidbit about where they are traveling and what they have seen too, so it is like a travelogue with a lot of knitting thrown in.

I will be posting on my blog in just a second.

This is a fun idea

[…] I’m LOVING seeing all of the patterns and blogs in the Sunday Bloglines contest! Keep em coming - I’d love to have even more folks to highlight and list here for everyone to see! That contest ends Saturday, so don’t forget! Posted by anne at 7:43 pm | On the Needles, Knitting, Contests, Anne, Cleo | Permalink […]

Found you through Marie of Knitted Gems post on you, M. yarn, and your contest, yippee. Marie also has a number of free knitting patterns listed on her blog.

http://knittedgems.blogspot.com/

While not a knitter myself, enjoy reading Marie’s adventures and seeing her work.

Still am interested in winning the M yarn - it looks as though it would be fab for nalbinding - which is one of the things I like to do with yarn.

Glad to have found you through Marie.

Best wishes and enjoy your contest.

I really like the patterns on Jeannie’s site. I made the Lilac socks and plan to make the Barbara shawl when I can get to it.

http://justmejeanie.blogspot.com/

[…] March 4, 2008 I was chilling on contest for a while….until I saw Anne’s over at The Bag Lady And The Pro . You can’t really expect me to pass up a chance for free MMalabrigo, can you? All you have to do is post a comment with a link to a sight where they share patterns, patterns you like. It would be nice if some were free patterns, but it’s not totally necessary. Check it out, and tell Anne I sent you, please. […]

I’m actually an unpublished designer, myself… I sell my handdyed yarn and a couple of patterns at my Etsy store (http://craftygirl83.etsy.com). I have three more patterns in the works right now too!

Oh, and Marie from Knitted Gems sent me. Her blog is http://knittedgems.blogspot.com

I really enjoy Alison’s patterns over at http://alison.knitsmiths.us/index.html. I just made her baby bell bottoms and love them!
I posted about your contest on my blog: http://roavings.blogspot.com.

I’ve been slowly working on the Bigfoot socks from http://meangirl.blogspot.com/

Oh, and Dana sent me:)

I followed the link from KT, great idea for a contest

Shameless self promotion, I have a few freebies (mostly dishclothes) and just released my first pattern for sale @ http://www.bethtoons.com/blog

And I just whipped up a pair of fingerless mitts available from http://artistjess.blogspot.com/ and on Ravelry.

[…] One of the hostess-with-the-mostestess is having a contest. Anne wants to see more original knitting designs that blogger’s have posted. If you tell her I told you that she’s a hottie, she’ll give you an bonus entry. […]

Hi Anne, I found out about your contest from my good friend Michelle at Insanknitty, I have also linked your contest on my blog as well.

I had a hard time picking a blog with patterns, I love so many out there, but I finally decided on this one.

http://krisknits.blogspot.com/2008/02/its-spring-thing.html

What a neat contest idea, I love it.

Donna has a great sock pattern…
zig zag socks…it’s in the top right hand corner

http://www.randomknits.net/

I found the contest thru Cass and will post it on my blog too.

i came over from Cass’s site. I did blog about a knitters site. http://babycocktails.blogspot.com/2008/01/sorry-bcbg.html posted a link to you as well! Now i need to search through some of these other ladies links! good idea!

sorry if it’s tacky but I’ll post myself if that’s alright. I’m disabled at a young age. Knitting and lately, designing, has kept my mind at ease so it doesn’t race nonstop…LOL
http://www.freewebs.com/peach-blossom-knits/index.htm

I’m over from Aunt Kathy’s and I am linking her and her pattern page.
http://gimpykatkpatterns.blogspot.com/

I also posted about your contest on my blog.

One of my favorite bloggers and designers is Amanda at http://nhknittingmama.blogspot.com/
I love her little candy bag.

Another one of my favorites is Cosette at Cosymakes (http://cosymakes.wordpress.com/) She makes really inventive hats and has several patterns for them that I’ve been drooling over for ages waiting for the needles to be available!

This is an awesome contest. So creative!

[…] And by the way, Anne is having a contest.  Let her know your favorite online patterns, and tell her I sent you.  The prize is Malabrigo.  I love Malabrigo. […]

I’ll join in on the fun! Most of the freebies that I know of have already been posted, so I’ll add on some of my favorite’s that offer patterns for sale that aren’t published (and many of these offer a freebie here and there too).

Just a few of my favorites that I’ve either knit their designs or have plans to! Cool idea for a contest. Hope your life is slowing down some.

Dandy (Purple is a Fruit) sent me, and I’ve put up a link on my blog. My favourite free online pattern is South Bay Crochet Toes Up Socks.

There are some good patterns at this site:

http://wishingiwasknitting.blogspot.com/

[…] First off, the contest ends tonight - or more likely tomorrow morning when I wake up - so if you haven’t already shared your favorite pattern designers, please do! […]

Ysolda is one of my favorites:
http://ysolda.com/wordpress/

I’ve been thinking about some of her patterns for years.

My friend Dale (Yclept Djinnj) also has some great patterns, mostly Harry Potter-related, posted on her LiveJournal, but I’m not sure how she has it organized. You can get to most of them via her patterns link on Ravelry, here:

http://www.ravelry.com/designers/dale-hwang

A couple of my faves are:

www.knitspot.com

www.harvestmoonupperroom.blogspot.com

I already linked to the contest a couple posts back, but I just kept forgetting to actually enter it! LOL

Whoops! I commented last week and never before noticed that my URl hadn’t gone through.

That’s F. Pea’s free pattern fridays at http://fpea.blogspot.com/search/label/free%20pattern%20fridays

[…] Go to The Bag Lady and The Pro and check out this fun little contest about bloggers who share their patterns. It’s real easy, just post a comment with a link to a blogger who shares their patterns. And please don’t forget to tell them that I sent you. […]
