Last parts of Egyptian Dreams freebie

 Hello and good morning :) 

And a beautiful one it is today ! The sun is shining (until late afternoon when it's supposed to start raining if the forecast is right) and the best is that I have a couple of days off now after finishing my shift last night :) 

I started my day with a nice lay-in and got out of bed later than normal. I would have stayed cocooned and comfy under my quilt for longer , but hey ....you know.... that bladder wouldn't let me any longer :) 

So I just made myself a nice cup of coffee , stuck the first machine of laundry on and write this blogpost before anything else . 

And there are a few bits and bobs to show today before I post those freebie links ! 

I like my quick projects in between those that seem to take forever . Plus trying out and learning new patterns is always a good thing .

This is what is called " Mock English rib"

Fancy trying it? 

It's made by a combination of simple knit and purl stitches to create a fantastic texture. 
It's simply a two row repeat pattern. 

Row 1 : knit 3 , purl one , repeat to end of row

Row 2: knit 1 ,purl 1, knit 3, purl one , repeat knit 3 purl one till the end 

Repeat these two rows 

For this chunky yarn I cast on 20 stitches. 

And from this simple pattern practice I made a soft, chunky scarf , stitched on faux fur pompoms at the ends and voila ,it's done :) 

And I designed some more. I found a hidden folder on my external drive and it contained a couple of designs I started , but never finished. 
Well, they are being finished now ! 
This is the first one -Dream 
Layout made with "Dream" and remembering my beloved Reggie, who passed away today in 2014. It's hard to believe that it's already 7 years ago. 😚

The other new one is another fall kit . My favourite time of year :) 

I'm working on a series of seasonal kits , which will all be designed to mix and match. The last one in a previous post was "Falling into Fall" , which is for the very beginning of the changing season. Going from Summer into Fall. This one is for being right in the middle of the season. 
And I already have the name and idea for the next one ."Fall-ing into Winter"  
New kits will be available soon .....watch this space ! 😀

Okay .... now to the freebie links for you. 
These are the last 3 links

Hi Snowy.
Yeah, let's enjoy the last bits of summer as long as we can.
You are still busy with crafty as ever. Like the new stitch pattern, is real easy but looks good . Worth trying out some day.If i remember I will put on a pettern on my blogpost that is easy too, 4 rows only but also looks nice.
Goodness, is it already 7 tears ago that Reggie passed away? Time really goes a lot faster than we might feel.
Have a wonderful day and week, enjoy your free time of work.
Hugs
Kyra

Time definitely goes by faster as we get older. Sighhhhh. Your new scarf look nice. Your new kits look very interesting. I had thought I might try getting back to some sort of designing but it just didn't happen. I guess age got me first. Enjoy your time off, hugs, Edna B.
