I won! I won! I want to give a shout out and say “thank you” to the Stockinette Zombies who gifted me a free pattern off of Ravelry.com. I just started listening to their podcast over the past few weeks, and I also joined their Ravelry group. Yesterday, I was sitting in front of my computer crocheting away on an afghan I’m making and watching their latest episode when they called my Ravelry username out as one of their free pattern winners! Of course, I’m still learning to knit, so I opted for a crochet pattern from one of my favorite designers, Linda Permann. It is a shawl pattern called “Summer Picnic Wrap.” It looks like the perfect light-weight wrap for wearing in the South. Oh, and now I have a great excuse for taking a yarn shop trip.
