Happy New Year!

We hope everyone had a fun and happy New Year's! One of our friends had a little accident during the holiday, so we're passing on our patterns for an unusual item -- a special sock to keep your toes warm when you are wearing a cast on your leg!  If your toes are warm, but your fingers are cold, we also have a beautiful muff pattern to keep your hands warm!

Everyone loved our 'chicks with sticks' fashion doll patterns last month, so they are back this month and this time, the pattern is for two doll-sized versions of the popular 'criss-cross' shrug from the new catalog!  Just for fun, we're including a pattern for doll-sized Speed Stix and a doll-sized copy of the new Lion Brand Catalog to print from your computer.

The Chicks with Sticks Make Shrugs

The chicks with sticks have been busy enjoying their Speed Stix and their new Lion Brand Catalog. 

And you can too, by making our doll-sized version of the popular new crisscross shrug or the cuffed doll shrug (pattern for miniature Speed Stix and catalog are included!!)

Ruh-Roh!
Winter holidays were great but one of our friends broke his leg!   We took pity on his cold toes and made two special 'socks' to go over his cast.  The striped cast sock is made of super-soft Lion Cashmere Blend in our school colors:

Striped Cast Sock

Its cute, but the one he really liked is the one that looks like a diamond-back rattler because it carries a clear message about his sore foot -- "Don't Tread on Me!"
