This baby blanket pattern uses an easy waffle stitch, which creates a lovely mosaic of Easter colors perfect for baby. Using two balls of the trim colorway and four single balls, each of a different colorway, "Pastille Baby" knits up soft and squishy at 25 by 29 inches. And the designer warns, this pattern stitch is "addictive" and has a knitting skill level of beginner to intermediate.

Knit with her own Nurturing Fibres lace weight yarn and designed by Carle' Dehning who spins, dyes, weaves, knits, and laughs! You can find her in her Ravelry group called "Nurturing Fibres," which is also the name of her web site where she offers her yarn. Abalone is a free pattern and so very beautiful.

Fibers for Fido needs knitters and crocheters for animals of all shapes and sizes
Animal shelters and sanctuaries provide the basics for rescue dogs, cats, and their feathered friends in need of medical care, food, and water, but Fibers for Fido seeks knitters and crocheters, and corporate ready-made providers of sweaters, jackets, toys, and blankets, and nests, yes, nests for all rescued animals and birds.
Fibers for Fido, created and managed by Pennsylvanian, Maggie Franz, is a charity project for animal shelters, asking for corporate donations and partnerships, and if you have time, knitted or crocheted goodies for all sorts of animals. Maggie seeks to source donations for the shelters while they "focus on providing the highest level of care."

One knitter's 15 seconds of fame
This past weekend, my Oliver and Olivia baby sweater pattern was featured on Skacel Knitting's "Spotted on Ravelry" blog post. While small in impact for most, it was, indeed, a large leap in my half-century plus of knitting experience, and I am so very grateful to Skacel.
The prototype for the boxey baby cardigan pattern for boys and girls was knit with Skacel's yarn, new this year, HiKoo Llamor, 100% baby llama, which is beautifully soft for accessories and garments that lay next to the skin.
Read Skacel Knitting's post here and find out where you can purchase some HiKoo Llamor.
