So we’ve had State of Origin NRL Cushion Covers (HERE), and now we have State of Origin NRL Scarves.
These are free knitting patterns from Lincraft, so make sure you go in store (or shop online) to get the very best colours and wool.
YAY! I’m so happy! My local Lincraft store has released a lot of new knitting patterns.
To help spread the love for those not near a store, I will be uploading them here. Let me know what your favourite is.
This is the second knitting item I have done for my Christmas homeless package project. (First can be found HERE).

Making the Regular Guy Beanie by Chuck Wright as found on Ravelry.
This year I am trying to knit as much as possible, and collect bulk general items for cheap, so I can create Christmas present packages for the local homeless community.
The Regular Guy Beanie was my first creation.
It’s a free pattern, and very easy to make, so check it out here and through the link above, and see what else Chuck has designed.
I don’t like DPNs (double-pointed needles), and I didn’t want to knit in the round, so I amended this patten for two straight needles.

It may not be Winter and beanie-weather here, but I found a pattern I wanted to share with you.
Lincraft is a one-stop-shop for all things art, craft, and homewares. They have a store quite close to my house, and I haven’t been able to stop myself from going in there all the time, almost opening my own store at my house!
On display for everyone needing a new project, I found a free knitting pattern.
