Hey guys! I am really excited to break the long blog silence with a free pattern and a giveaway! Actually, with a free pattern, a link to a SECOND free pattern, and a giveaway. Your Friday just got way better, huh? I know, I do what I can. Actually, this is all thanks to my awesome publisher, Martingale, so technically they are the ones doing what they can to make Friday better.
When I wrote Knit A Monster Nursery and turned it in, it ended up being way more projects than would fit in the allotted space. When I do things, I tend to over-do things, what can I say? Which is awesome news for you since a couple of those cut patterns are now available on their own for free. Yeah! Free is always good. Actually free is not always good, but in this case, free is very, very good!
I have this darling washcloth pattern for you:

How cute is this? It is also awesome for, hmm, don’t know how put it other than, booger cleanup. I use my samples now with Peanut and his mega snotty noses. I used Berroco Weekend Chunky for the yarn which with the cotton content means softness on tender noses, plus super washability. A must with little ones, right?
I will get the file up into the sidebar here soon with my other free patterns, but I am not feeling so smart with these computery things at the moment, so help will be sought once Mr Danger is home...
If that is not enough cuteness for you (which, how much is enough cuteness, really? Is it even possible? I vote no.) Hop on over to Martingale’s blog to get another free pattern, this cutie-pie burp cloth:
This thing, I just love it. Not only is it good for cleaning up baby, ahem, barf spit up, it is a great friend for baby too. And it looks so cute draped over your shoulder. Love!
AND, as if two cutie-patootie patterns on a Friday wasn’t enough for you, I have an ebook copy of Knit A Monster Nursery to giveaway to one of you guys. Is this like the best day ever, or what? To enter, comment below telling me who you would be knitting out of Monster Nursery for. If it is yourself, that is just fine, but really I want to hear about all those cute babies and toddlers in your lives. Martingale is also hosting a giveaway, so hop on over there and enter as well! You know, "enter early, enter often?" Or, just once on each of these, but it is the same, right?
If you don’t have a copy of Knit A Monster Nursery yet, remember, if you purchase your copy on ShopMartingale.com, you get not only the hard-copy version of the book, but the ebook sent straight to your inbox as well. Awesomesauce, right? This day just keeps getting better.
I will pick a winner using a random-number generator next Friday, so be sure to get entered before then.
Alright guys, that was so much awesome I might just need to go take a nap now. So you guys go, get knitting and giveaway entering!
Have a good weekend all-
I would knit for my daughter who already loves your monster patterns!

My nephew and godson 'Babes' is my favorite baby to knit for! He just turned one, so I'm hoping soon there will be an announcement that he has a little sibling on the way:)

My very good friend will become a grandmother for the first time this winter and I would love to knit something special from this book for the baby.

I'll be knitting for two babies! Two of my cousins are pregnant with their first child and I can think of nothing better than special handknits for their new blessings.

Definitely for my son. He has been my little monster since he was born. :)

I've knitted the monster-mobile so far for my little niece - it's awesome! And I would love to knit a whole bunch of the play-things from the book, some for my niece and some for a friend who is pregnant for the first time and is expecting twins. :)

My best friend is due with a baby this winter and she'll need some monsters! My kids, ages 2, 5, 8 & 11 would get some monster love, too.
