Sitting Knitty - Want to make something...

A pattern!

So, now onto that project I mentioned. I want to make a knitting pattern. I want to actually create another one to put up on Ravelry and start to move more into that direction of knitting. I want to knit a great deal in my life, and I want to create patterns, too, as a means of giving back.

I have a folder of patterns, 436 of them, and about 500 favourite patterns on Ravelry, with a small overlap. Probably about 5% of the patterns I have on my computer - oh goodness, that's not even counting one's I've previously printed off and have in a drawer! - are for sewing patterns, and the rest are for knitting.

Nearly all of the patterns I have were free. I've bought two patterns, so far I think, though I'm planning on buying a few more soon. I'd like to give back, because I think part of what's made knitting so accessable for me and many like me, is the abundance of free patterns!

I'm thinking of designing a cute little sparrow bird, or... well I don't know. There's not all that many patterns for muffatees, and I think they're cute and sort of useful, so I'd like to make up some. Nonetheless, I will set my mind to making more patterns at some point.

I got a small amount of cash a week ago from selling my old mobile phone for recycling, and I'm hoping to go pick up some yarn with it. Perhaps I'll be inspired by what I see in the yarn store?

Now for a pattern... I don't wear tank tops, but this heart lace top is pretty.
