PT @ MAKE points us to this "Know It All No 2 Pencil Set" on Etsy. These would really help me out, since it takes continual, persistent repetition in order for me to commit anything to memory. I wish they made a set with my most frequently called phone numbers for when I lock my self out of my apartment.

I am thrilled to see that our pal, Kristin, of Craft Leftovers has created a set of hand embroidery patterns, of which the first installment is now available in her shop. Her drawings are always so lovely, and beg to be stitched. Now, she's created some for that express purpose. Her Crafty Buddies designs are adorable, and she's even offering up a freebie pattern of a cute-as-all-get-out thimble.

Robyn Devine of A Devine Life just launched the Three-Season Mitts E-Book for sale on Ravelry. The e-book is just $8 and features six unique patterns for hand/arm warmers, each one matching the personality of the friend she was making them for (or the level of warmth needed!). I love all the beautiful details in each pattern. From a subtle cable to a button accent, you'll be keeping your hands warm in style. You also have the option to purchase each pattern separately too. Make them for yourself or start working on your holiday gifts for friends.
As a special to CRAFT readers, Robyn is sharing with us her pattern for these awesome Sarah Mitts!

October Craft Leftovers Monthly
Filed Under Bazaar | Leave a Comment
The latest installment of Craft Leftovers Monthly is now available, and is a mix of introductions to fall and Halloween History. They will be on sale until the 20th and then all orders will be sent out on the 22nd.
Kristin from Craft Leftovers writes:
October is such a great month to write a zine for - fall is so close, a touch of halloween, and the last bit of running around outside. Learn about halloweens past, my mom's adventure making costumes for me and my sister, folk lore, fairy houses, paper leaf garlands, and even stamp projects using out door found objects! And more. Of course more!
This month's kit is so fun! Bringing the Outdoors in with Weaving! It's a mini book about weaving with the outdoors + yarn + warp + mat board to weave on.
