Infinity Scarf by Nonsuch Knits


The new craze at the store is Nonsuch Knits' "Infinity Scarf!" Wear it as a scarf, doubled scarf, or have an instant hood! Quick to knit in bulky yarn -- this project is a breeze. Choose from two stitch patterns...knit it with Misti Alpaca Chunky or Brown Sheep Burly Spun, you choose!

Candy Corn Treat Bags


OK, crocheters! Check out these adorable treat bags! I don't know about you, but candy corn is one of my favorite parts of fall. Every fall I end up buying a bag (or 3) of these little treats...usually about the time the leaves change color and the air starts to "smell" like autumn. Now you can share this delight with your children (without the cavities!) This free pattern is a first for this designer and available on crochetville.org: Candy Corn Treat Bags.
