Subj: The KnittingNews Newsletter You Requested
Here's the latest edition of the Knitting News Newsletter you requested from Craftfinder.com Knitting News In this issue: Trends and Fashions Fall fashion line-up does not look exciting to me......gray gray gray is the color of the year. Thank goodness some silver and occasional red, purple and magenta colors are added to the fashion previews. I opt for those colors over gray all winter long.....sometimes I really wonder about those fashion designers. :-) I've been into the designing mode, so in plenty of time for Christmas we will have some brand new patterns available.....sitting and knitting is good when the weather is too hot to do anything else. Until next time, have an enjoyable indian summer!
Free Pattern Updates: As the upcoming holiday and winter season approaches, we want to take a great idea from Bev's Country Cottage page and start a collection of free patterns for charity. We will be starting a page soon at http://craftfinder.com containing free patterns that people can stitch up to give to someone less fortunate than themselves. If you have an original pattern (so that we don't violate copyright law) that you would like to donate to this good cause, please email it to: charity@craftfinder.com If you happen to have a picture of it, please mention it in your email and we'll arrange a way for that picture to also be included on the site. Thanks! Given that this site is seen by tens of thousands of people per week, your contribution could literally benefit thousands! Free Pattern: Prepare Towel: Cut towel in half crosswise.
