Seaside Knitters knitting patterns
I hope you enjoy spending some time admiring the Seaside Knitters patterns and finished products posted here. Perhaps they'll inspire you to try one or two on your own. I've also included some photos of finished Seaside Knitters sweaters, shawls, and hats knit by readers. Such talent! Izzy, Nell, Cass and Birdie would love to have each of them drop in the shop some day.
If you have any photos of patterns mentioned in the Seaside Knitters mystery series and wouldn't mind me posting them, please send them along!
