My newest freebie - a taxi!

(Left-click to get larger image.)

It has been a while since I've posted, but I have a new pattern written out and have decided to post it early. Please be forwarned - it has not been tested yet. Please let me know if anything needs to be corrected.

UPDATE (3 Dec 2007): I have now tested the pattern. There was an error found in row 17. The pattern, as listed below, is now believed to be correct. (Corrections to the pattern are listed in red.)

October is FINALLY over; New freebie coming

October was the most emotional month that I have ever experienced in my life. In October there were: two important milestone birthdays celebrated (both 5th birthdays), the death and funeral of my sister (which led to a reunion with my now-18-year-old nephew who I haven't seen since he was about 4), bullies (and their flaky parents) at the playground, and a slew of personal health problems. The stress on me has gone down now. I don't claim to be religious, but I thank God that October is now over.

I have finished writing the instructions for a new freebie which can be used for both cross-stitch and knitting. I will post it after I have it knitted up (which shouldn't take too long).

Happy stitching!
