Notes From Our Readers
 "I have just knitted my first few rows - thanks to you. I am using my kids colouring in pencils and some kitchen string but it is working!!! I thought I'd better have a go before I bought some wool and real needles. I might actually try this for real tomorrow."

(We thought this was a brilliant idea for anyone interested in trying out knitting without having to spend a dime. ~ CyberSeams)

 New Free Patterns!
Adult Hat Pattern Fitted & Knitted - for Straight Needles
This is a free basic pattern for a hat. You do not need to know how to knit with circulars or double point needles - this pattern is meant for straight needles and the sides are then joined after it's knitted together.
 Knitted Felted Tote Bag with Pockets
I wanted to create a bag with pockets for my knitting projects. It seems like whenever I go to the store and check out the bags they have for knitting, one thing seems to be severely lacking - pockets! So, I set out to make my own pattern and this is what I came up with.
The great thing about this pattern is that if you need more pockets, you simply add them! And you can add them wherever you want them! The pattern includes instructions for the bag, a large sized pocket and a small sized pocket. If you need more large pockets you can make more, or if you need a bunch of small pockets, you can just have a bunch of smaller ones. If you need a deeper bag, the pattern explains where to do this. The instructions also explain how to line the bag and the pockets, and the pockets use magnetic snaps so you don't have to fool around with making buttonholes or getting the button undone. Happy knitting!
Be sure to keep an eye out for the Star Wars fan film Secrets of the Rebellion produced by XPress Entertainment! CyberSeams Founder, Janet Ballweber, helped fill the need for Imperial Officer Uniforms.
