New Discovery: Patternfish and Sea Lettuce


Today, while reading Lucy Neatby's blog, I discovered a great new pattern, Sea Lettuce Scarf, that can be knit from sock yarn. I am always on the look out for these type of patterns because I believe that sock yarn (fingering weight) is not just for socks.

I faved the pattern on Ravelry and pulled it up later to learn more about it. It looks like one that will make a great travel knit so I went to buy it through the download link. That link took me to a great pattern site called Patternfish.

This is an online store where you can buy or sell your designs for knitting or crochet patterns as customized PDF downloads. They offer a little bit of everything from new, old, indie, corporate, vintage, modern, classic, and offbeat, and it comes from all over the world. Currently there are 4545 patterns from the United States, Canada, Britain, New Zealand, Sweden, Iceland, Germany, Ireland, France, and Turkey.

It was an easy transaction using PayPal and the PDFs look professional. I think this will be a great resource for patterns. To make it easy for you to find the site in the future, I am featuring it on my blog links to the left.

I hope everyone has fun discoveries in their life!
