Free Insect Knitting Patterns

My designs expanded beyond the realm of science related projects and morphed into insect knitting patterns. Think about it, simple, modular shapes. The size is right for a small knit object. And it is easy to make cute! Okay, okay, the first project I designed was a fly, and I did talk about genetic mutations on the pattern page... BUT it still has more appeal to the general public. In fact, the fly became part of my Halloween decorations this year!

Go Green: Knitting connections to the land, our lives
I regularly receive skeins of yarn and patterns. Now, I'm knitting a cardigan from Darwin, a friendly, chocolate brown sheep. I know where and how he lives. When the cold comes again, I will wear wool I witnessed him happy to be rid of.

    I'd love to knit some baby booties for my newest little guy. Your insects are adorable! Now if I just had some extra time and the talent you have, I could do it!
