We talked with Jean today. She is working on another pattern booklet now and should have it ready for distribution in August. The real mystery is what will be in it.
She won’t tell us.
We’re sure it will be a hit, just as her recent Dolly Mixtures has.
To see all of her publications currently available, including several that are out of print but still available here, come visit us at the Frugal Knitting Haus.

I use my snipets for tassles. The different colors and types of yarn always make them pop!! They look great on knitting projects or if your just making a homemade book mark 
I also use them for doll hair.

Thank you Frugal Haus, and cheap knitting for such easy patterns! I knit and crochet alot, mostly for toys for charities . I began saving my yarn snipets from fastening off, end of seams, etc into a big zip bag. When I need stuffing for the toys, I use the yarn snipets to stuff. This makes the toys soft and pliable, and doesn’t add extra cost!

I got a couple great ” free” patterns from Frugal Knitting Haus for easy 2 needle mittens from my order of $10.00. Now I knit my grandchildren mittens in sets of 3 , as they tend to lose a mitten now and then. Using up scraps of yarn and making them in colorful stripes is always a big hit with the children!

Hi Ruth -
I use loops made from short scraps of yarn as stitch markers. (I use a simple overhand knot, called a half hitch to combine both ends to form the loops.) This may not be new to many of your knitters, but newer ones may not know this.
I go one better with these loops. If I am knitting with straight needles, I use different colors for decreases and/or increases in the rows. This way I don’t forget what goes where in a complicated pattern. When knitting on a circular needle, I use a different color for my end/beginning of the round as well. This way I don’t have to rely on my counting or my guess to know where I’m at on my project.
This works great for me and costs me nothing. Just like you, I am FRUGAL too.
