With less than a month until Father's Day, I thought it might be fun to all band together and knit a quick gift for the dads in our lives. Join me for a Knit Along on our new Caron Facebook Knit Along Group where we'll be making either of two versions of eReader (aka Nook, Kindle, etc) cozies I've designed. We'll start this week by signing-up and gathering supplies. Next week we'll all cast on and get knittin'!

Dad doesn't have an eReader? No problem! I'll tell you how to adapt the patterns to fit most techie gadgets. Hope to see you there!

Doris Chan has done it again!  Her Jolimar skirt, crocheted in Spa Green Sheen, is not only figure-flattering, but surprisingly easy to make too. Crocheted from the waist down, the A-line shape is created by just adding simple chain stitches every few rows.  Plus, Doris has created a sweet matching skirt for little girls.

You asked, we listened. The knitted version of Vickie Howell's Clo is here! Meet Sophie; the Simply Soft, quick-to-knit accessory for the baby on the go! Busy designer, busy author and busy mom Vickie Howell knows what works for little ones. Ponchos! This openwork knitted treasure is just right for a quick warm up when a summer breeze picks up. Created on a circular needle with two strands of Simply Soft held together, Sophie is a sweet treat for busy kids and their busy moms.

Look closely at the image of our model wearing the Pink Ribbon Shawl, and you'll discover the inspiration for designer KJ Hays to create this lovely piece. Honoring all the women who fight breast cancer, this soft and lacy shawl, crocheted in soothing Simply Soft®, is a perfect gift for a friend or loved one who may be recovering from surgery or undergoing chemotherapy. It's a wonderful way to say "I care."
