Today is a big milestone with our CRAFT Pattern Podcast's 100th pattern! Do-do-do-dooooo! (That's a horn toot, by the way.) To celebrate, Anna of Mochimochi Land has created for us a new pattern called "Weeeds". This little knit duo popped up in the backyard garden and look how adorable they are!

The summer issue of Knitty is up now and I'm loving the cover project, the deadliest crab. You'll find some great summer fashions in this issue where I'm loving this tangy cardigan for it's design and lovely turquoise bamboo yarn.

Tiny World Pattern Now Available From Mimi Kirchner
Last month, I was excited to see that Mimi Kirchner had created a doll pattern especially for The Purl Bee. Now she's at it again, and this time she's created a pattern for her popular Tiny World Make-Do pincushion. After she launched her doll pattern for Purl Bee, she asked her blog readers to vote on what her next pattern would be. The overwhelming response was for the Tiny World Make-Do pincushions (though I have to admit, I voted for a pattern for her amazing Tiki pillows). The pattern is more than 21 pages and includes pattern templates, written instructions, and more than 40 step-by-step photographs. You can grab it for yourself over her in Etsy shop, and be sure to check out her Tiny World Flickr set for more inspiration.

CRAFT Pattern Podcast: Sublime Stitching Fruit and Snail Embroidery Patterns
As a mom now, I realize you can never have too many baby bibs so why not make them more fun with the wonderful embroidery designs by Jenny Hart of Sublime Stitching? I love this new kit, Sublime Stitching Baby Bib Embroidery Kit (published by Chronicle Books) that has all the necessary supplies to stitch up a fabulous bib for your baby or a friend's. (Psst! This whole kit makes a great gift for a mom or mom-to-be!)The kit comes with two blank bibs, but if you find yourself stitching away and needing more bibs, you can get blank bibs at the Sublime Stitching store. I'm stitching the fruit pattern now and will post up my finished bib into the CRAFT flickr pool when I'm done. And as a special treat, we have both the cute fruit and snail patterns as a sample to download right away in today's CRAFT Pattern Podcast. Enjoy!
