Another new issue of MIFS is out

Make it from Scratch has it's #18 issue out. I'd love to see this become a monthly magazine that I could buy at my local store. I am not just saying this because I have a couple things in an issue or two. I am saying this because making something from scratch is a wonderful idea and it is very well put together. I look forward to reading each and every issue from them. This weeks issue is on herbs!

Loom knitting

Charts-
Over at Purling Sprite she has a link to a really nice knitting chart maker. She also has been working on loom knitting some really nice looking Bracelets. I have to make one up for my daughter (she'd love them.)

New pattern I came across-
Over at Denise blog (knitting without needles) she has a really nice Jacket that she made into a pattern. It sounds like an easy pattern to do and it looks really nice.

New look to a great blog-
Connie over at Knit Knot Purl Curl changed her blogs look not that long ago. I love the new look.

Free loom knit pattern- Rug
If, you haven't been over to knittingboard.com you should stop by. They have some neat free patterns. Just like this one to make a rug.


From needles to looms-
Something I have to make that is needle knitted but I am going to make on my looms for a gift for someone's baby.

Missing blogs and web sites-
Amy Reynolds, I still miss your web site. I loved all the free patterns and all the patterns you came up with. With the 4th of July coming I always think of your red/white/ and blue halter top! I really miss your site. I still of course read your blog!
Lynn Markman, I think your life sounds very exciting and I really would love to read more about the things you do. Maybe some day you'll start your blog back. You have many things you do and people like me would LOVE to learn from people like you. I wish we lived near you because I would be one of the many taking classes from you.

Other news-
I received some soap from Galloping Goats farm. WOW, does this stuff smell good!
She sent me one bar of the "Pink Sugar" (it's made with vegetable oils and shea butter. Smells just wonderful) and one bar of "Dragons Blood" (for all of you who live in the Toledo are this soap smells reminds me of the "Head Shed." I love it. For those of you who do not have a Head Shed this smell is a good one.) Go check out Galloping Goats site.

I will do a more in-depth product review on this soap after I get to use it. That way you'll know how well it does on your skin also. I have a STRONG feeling it's going to be a high quality soap just from the smell and look of it.
