My favorite project is whatever I’m working on when you ask me what my favorite project is. Today that would be a tablecloth.
http://www.allfreeknitting.com/Knit-Cable-Afghans/Knitted-Cable-Stitch-Afghan/ct/1
I have a gorgeous but simple hat I designed. I can sit and make one without thinking and it goes fast. Other than that I love to make baby sweaters or things for charity. Right now I am making an alpaca reading shawl for someone on Staten Island that can use it…so right now that is my favorit project. I feel like in some small way I am helping someone feel better…
My favorite is always the one I’ve got going. Right? I have on my needles right now the mistake stitch scarf.
I absolutely adore the Lace Fabric Sweater by Michelle Starkie. I haven’t started it yet because I’m looking for the perfect yarn but I cannot wait to do it!
I love the mitered square grannys. Such a neat twist on an easy and fun way to afghans. This one is my all time favorite, though: http://www.allfreecrochet.com/Granny-Square-Afghans/Colorful-Granny-Square-Afghan
So many fun colros and textures to play with to make it as unique as the person making it. 🙂
My favorite project is anything I am knitting or crocheting that doesn’t take to much mental effort! I have to put down and pick up alot since I work full time, so I need it to be an easy flowing project! Right now it’s a baby blanket using the Bavarian stitch that I just learned and love!!!
I love to knit baby booties & then give them away to pregnant ladies. It is the best.
The Diamond Pond Afghan. I have made so many of them!!! They make perfect baby shower gifts and they work up quickly.
Any quick and easy project that I can work up in a day or two. Scarves, hats, gloves. I knit and crochet both so the easier the better for me. 🙂
Making Fun Fur Bears for my great grandchildren 8 done and 2 to go for Christmas …will make one more after Jan. as a new wee is expected then..Anita Chretien
the scarlet tracks scarf making one in purple for a christmas present
I really love the Chinese New Year Lantern pattern 🙂 Great gift for Christmas …
My favorite project is socks. I love the joy that a pair of handmade socks evokes in people, myself included. The making, giving and wearing them myself. Plus, they are an easy project to toss in the purse and go.
My favorite projects are ones where I learn a new stitch or technique.
I discovered the Spider-Man blanket pattern on allfreeknitting and have made it for my four year old grandson. It will be a Christmas gift. He is crazy about superheroes and has several costumes he wears every day. Spider-Man is a favorite. I am guilty of having many unfinished projects, but my excitement over making and giving this one allowed me to complete it in two months. And it was a lot of knitting. I can’t wait!
On this site my favorites so far have been the “Chubby chirps” and the Blueberry Crumble hat. Granted, I haven’t finished the hat yet, but I’m having a great time with it!
Two hour wrist bands for something fun to do while waiting @ Dr’s or other appts.
The Seaside Cardigan. I love to knit lace because it keeps me interested in the pattern. The all-over lace of this cardigan is just what I need to keep me challenged!
I’ve almost completed the Spiderman Web Afghan on AllFreeCrochet. I love it and I’m sure my grandson will love his Christmas present!
I am excited to give the cozy weekend sweater a try. I have never made a sweater before and that one looks perfect for the season in blustery Wisconsin.
I am busy knitting cowls. Fast, easy, trendy and fun.
The Grace Jones Cowl!
My favorite project so far is incomplete, I designed a prayer shawl for a dear friend and I am working on it, I am using a faggoting patter with a garter border, in a very soft teal light worsted yarn. The stitch definition is a little blurred because the yarn is soft but it looks so soft and cozy. I now she is going to love it.
My favorite project ever has to be the one I’m working on right now. I’m on the second of two Christmas stockings for grandbabies. They are done in a fair isle pattern and I dearly love them. CJ and Elizabeth will have something to take with them through their lives and every time they put them up they’ll remember Grandma who made the stockings for them.
Crocheted Snowflakes. A friend of mine makes these every year, and whowed me some, and that just made me want to make some too. I found the patterns for different ones on All Free Crochet! Can’t wait until my tree is filled with them!
my favorite projects are making scarfs for the needy
I just found out that 2 of my friends are pregnant! I’m knitting each of them a set of baby booties from one of my knitting books. I can’t wait to surprise them!
I love the Betty Sweater, Cozy Collared Cardigan, Frosty The Snowman Tea Cozy.
Thanks for the giveaway!!
A basic top-down raglan sleeve pullover from an OLD (1980s?) Leisure Arts pamphlet. I can use any yarn, make any size from baby up to XXXL (with some minor tweaking for the rate of the raglan increase), add fancy stitch patterns or colorwork, change the collar style — I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve made it over the years. I have one on the needles and four finished and in regular use right now.
My favouite project is when I am making something for someone else, usually my 3 grandkids. I very seldom make anything for myself. I just finished 3 sweaters for Christmas presents and am currently working on several frilly scarves for my daughter.
My favorite projects are making cute hats for my daughters!
I love all the different scarf patterns. I can find a pattern to match any personality which is great around christmas.
I look forward to making the blueberry crumble beret. Love those cables. Look forward to adding this beret to my collection.
I think my favorite thing to make are mittens.
I am working in making cloth trivets for Christmas
I love the Amigurumi Flying Pig and Pudgy Piglet. I love pigs and collect them so these fit right in with my collection!
My favorite so far would be the Grace Jones Cowl. I made it as a gift for the holidays and am about to steal it for myself instead. My son’s speech therapist saw it and also wants to steal it.
i love working lace patterns and also patterns with entrelock. not sure about spelling but knitters know what i’m talking about.
One of my very favourite projects is knitting lacey shawls. I love the challenge, and the satisfaction when it is done.
My favorite patterns of late have been anything to do with owls. I love the cute hats, crocheted squares and bags. I am loving the owl craze!!
My favorite pattern is Sunrise Socks (O Socks) on allfreeknitting.com. Whether handpainted, variegated, solid or self patterning yarn is used, the easily remembered pattern shows to advantage. Fun, functional, and fabulous fast pattern for gift giving, too.
As many have said my favorite project is what I am working on at the moment. I do love doing all types of lace knitting and experimenting with new patterns and techniques. i.e. magic loop
My all time favorite pattern to date is the checkerboard lace scarf.
One favorite… I can’t do that. It all depends on what I need to work on. When crocheting for the Hyperbolic Coral Reef, there were shells. When I needed to make a baby gift, cute duckie booties. I love these sites!
My favorite project was knitting a sweater, hat, 3 pairs of booties, and a blanket for my nephew’s new baby. She is to arrive Dec. 21…..
Just be able to knit anything. Love knitting. Right now knit scarfs for Christmas for friends, out of the new ribbon yarns. Knitted 28 for friends that were pink for cancer out of the ribbon yarn. I knit to unwind. Every evening.
I love the broomstick lace scarf because it gives so much room for creativity to mix and match and explore different combinations of textures
my favorite pattern is usually whatever i am working on, but i would have to say that right now my fave pattern from all free kntting is the two hour santa hat! i cant wat to start t as soon as i get to the store to get the yarn..
My favorite project is the cowl and hat I’m making for my daughter!
My favorite project is knitting hats for cancer patients (mostly children).
My quest is to personally knit 10,000 hats in memory of my step-father, who passed away in November of 2007 from multiple myeloma. My project is called, “For the Love of Charlie”.
I donate to six children’s hospitals and am currently knitting hat number 1243.
I’d have to say my favorite patterns are the sock monkey water bottle holder and the reindeer cozy. They are easy and quick to crochet, and they are so darn cute!
I like to make scarves, as my daughter loves to wear them and she wants as many as Ican knit!!
The doll clothes I’m making for my granddaughters for Christmas!
Baby afghans and baby hats for the premies at our childrens hospital.Every premie who is born receives a set and Mom and Dad get to keep it even if their child doesnt survive.
My favorite project has to be mittens. They fun to try out new technics on, and the faces of people who receive them as gifts make it all worthwhile.
The all time favorite of mine is Grandma’s Favorite Dishcloth! Super simple and fast…instant gratification:)
Whatever I am working on is my favorite project. That’s the way it has always been for 56 years!!
It is always the one I am working on at the time. Right now I am knitting a vest for a Christmas present.
My favorite is the Blueberry Crumble Beret. It looks good enough to eat!
My favorite project is anything I can make to donate. Right now that is washclothes , just finished 80 for the brown bag program. So it will be back to booties and hats.

I only found allfreeknitting.com a few weeks ago, so I don’t have a favorite pattern yet. I am relatively new to knitting in general (I have been knitting for about a year), but I have been soaking up everything I can learn. I look forward to trying some of the new patterns I have found because of allfreeknitting.com!
Double knit mitten. I have never double knit before and I love the results. I decides to give them to ME this Christmas.
I have downloaded many of the scarf, cowl, shawl patterns and also some of the hats, gloves, and women’s sweater patterns–more than I’ll ever be able to knit. One I downloaded recently is the Scarlet Tracks scarf which I will knit out of some red yarn for a Christmas present for my Daughter-In-Law. I’m knitting every female in the family something this year–going to be very busy between now and Christmas–will probably still be knitting on Christmas Eve!!
What ever project I’m working on. Right now it’s a teddy bear. For charity of course.
My favorite project (is) baby afghans. Love working with different colors and textures. Who dosen’t love getting one as a present.
I love 2 socks one needle. I make them for Christmas for the grandkids..It is really great to finish a PAIR at one time I love this, 2 socks 2 needle… Great great great!!!

My favorite pattern is for the buddy bunny blanket that I got from Lion Brand.It is so cute and easy to knit.
My favorite pattern is on AllFreeKnitting. It is the Northern Lights Shawl. I have the perfect rainbow yarn to knit this shawl.
Right now (it changes daily, sometimes hourly ;.), Knot Your Grandma’s Cowl is my fav. Love the look! However, since it’ll be for me, it’s going to have to wait while I finish my Christmas knitting.
I love making the girl headbands that keep children warm in the fall/winter without having them wear a hat. The girls consider them an accessory and fashion statement so I end up making lots of them in various colors.
My favorite is the Granny’s mittens and hat from All Free Knitting-I’ve made them for family and charity.
My favorite projects are CALs Crochet alongs are fun, exciting and unexpected.
I make hats for school kids and our hospital auxiliary delivers them around first week in January each year. We pick 2 or schools each year. Last year we delivered 75 hats and 75 mittens.
My favorite project was this blanket I had pictured in my head and I found a similar pattern on AllFreeCrochet and I made it which turned out fabulous… Wish I could post a picture I love it, it became my daughters blanket!
There are so many great projects on AllFreeCrochet.com that it is hard to choose just one. One of my favorites is Howie the Holiday Penguin. He’s so cute!
I have an afghan I’ve made a half dozen times that I still love. It’s a ripple with variegated yarn. It’s one of those designs that never goes out of style and looks great and is still useful and warm.
My favorite project changes by whatever it is I am working on. I get so many patters at allfreecrochet.com
I love making the animal hats with earflaps!
Right now its the scarlet tracks scarf…can’t wait to get started on it. I have a poncho for my niece to finish first. Really complicated cabling, so it will be great to do something interesting but not so complcated!
My favorite project was making blankets for my two kids. Crocheted a Pokemon blanket for my oldest and Spongebob for my youngest.
I love the seaside-sunset Cowl and Fingerless Glove pattern. I’m making at least 3 pairs as gifts! Your patterns don’t get much quicker and easier than this one!
Love to make blanket for the grandchildren. Just finished a spiderman blanket
Today it is making a baby blanket for my best friend’s first grandbaby!
Hats, hats, Hats and more hats!!! They’re quick and easy and give immediate gratification!!!!
My favorite project is something small that I can finish fairly quickly. I do like knitting afghans and shawls and like to challenge myself with cables and lace patterns.
I just discovered the “Seven Stripe knit blanket” It looks light and airey. It has a different cast on which will be new to me. I enjoy learning new stitches and techiques in knitting. I plan to make a baby blanket from this pattern.
I knit just about everything. Lately I’ve been knitting 3 dimentional object.
In Oct. I knit a patch of pumpkins. Noe I’m working on a tiny turkey I found on line.
I think every project I do is special and a favorite, but one that I am proud to be a part of is the local volunteer group making Prayer Shawls for Hospice. I am new to the group, but they are wonderful women and I am so glad I found them.
My favorite is Cup of Tea apron. Makes a great gift. http://www.favecrafts.com/Kitchen-Knits/Teacup-Half-Apron-Knitting-Pattern

Autumn Harvest Scarf by Mary Vaughn http://www.allfreecrochet.com/Scarves/Autumn-Harvest-Scarf
My all-time favorite pattern from Allfreeknitting.com has to be the One Hour Scarf. I have made dozens of these for charity and I love that I can whip one up from leftover yarns literally in an hour. I taught my daughter how to make it and she made over 2 dozen last year for Christmas gifts. Great, simple, foolproof – and free! What’s not to like?
Any easy pattern I can make in a few evenings.
My favorite project is always the one I am doing at the moment……….
Also most is if I am giving it away as a gift.
My favorite pattern from the site is the two hour scarf. I make it all the time as a holiday gift.

My favorite crochet project at the time is the broomstick lace scarf.
I love mixing things up, so I always have a few things on the go. I do always finish though!! I love doing mitts & scarves so I can watch t.v. at the same time. I do mitts for our local Community Care in the winter, and I love finding out that they are able to help people out and also use money from selling some to help out others. They always sell fast too!!!
My favorite free pattern is Elizabeth Ham’s Drop in the Pond. I make them bigger than normal though, but her pattern is so easy to follow and make your own!

I love knitting amigurumi toys for all my friends that are having little ones right now. I especially love the floral elephant. The little bumpy trunk is adorable.
