- Gail – Free Pattern found on Ravelry. Be forwarned. As a new knitter, I found the instructions difficult. There was a lot of swearing while I was knitting this pattern. In the end it was worth it. But still a very frustrating pattern to follow. Check out the forums on this pattern first before attempting. www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/gail-aka-nightsongs

- Susie Rogers’ Reading Mitts – Free Pattern found on Ravelry. When knit my first pair of Lace-Back Fingerless Gloves from Churchmouse, I modified the pattern by adding the edging from this pattern to the Churchmouse pattern. I also knit it in the round the first time, rather than flat as per the pattern. It turned out quite nice but I’ve only ever modified it the one time. www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/susie-rogers-reading-mitts
