- New Patterns from CraftLit listeners and
designers:
- Erica Hernandez (of many WWMDfK? patterns fame) just released a reusable grocery bag pattern. It holds quite a bit! The bag ban grocery bag is only $5 and available at Ravelry (no account required, though is helpful).
- Christine Guest (of Tin of Tans fame) just released a new pattern in support of her local public library. A whopping $4.50 from every $5 sale will be donated to the Friends of the Attleboro Public Library. They buy the museum passes, extra books and fund programs for the children's room. Why? In Christine's words, "As a homeschool Mom, I use the library VERY heavily, so I want to keep it strong and well funded." Learn more about this pattern at Chistine's site of musings on homeschooling, Our Curious Home. A crochet version is in the works (ooh! Just released, actually!!!)! It's available for purchase and download at both Ravelry and Craftsy.
