This week, we share Tips from the Design Department on felting, and we feature six patterns for adorable felted coin purses in multiple colors and styles. Knitters and crocheters will love these quick and colorful patterns. They make great gifts, and if you're new to felting, they are a great first felting project.

It's officially autumn here in the northern hemisphere. Join Lola as she celebrates the season -- the football season, that is.

We also have another four Halloween patterns just for you! From stuffed animals to trick-or-treat bags, our patterns are just the thing to add hand-made fun to your Halloween.

Congratulations to our monthly $100 Free Yarn Winner, Maria Day of Edwards, MS. Sign up for our Pattern Finder and you can have a chance to win $100 to the Lion Brand catalog next month!

Finally, our kit sale of the week is the glamorous Knit Hollywood cape, which will add sophistication to any outfit. We also have our second crochet block of the week, called "Blue-and-White Check."

Join us next week for a special pattern featured in the 25th anniversary issue of Vogue Knitting! Enjoy your weekend!

With Warmest Regards,
Lion Brand Yarn
