If you haven’t tried knitting a little something, here is the perfect opportunity. For quite a while I resisted knitting small things. I wanted Big Knitting. Sweaters. Long scarves. Vests. Then I tried a hat. Hmmm…nice and quick. Then some catnip mice. Instant gratification. Along came the Heart Pin from Closely Knit by Hannah Fettig. So satisfying.

This pattern for the Flirt Napkin Skirt from Lisa Shobhana Mason’s YarnPlay at Home is the perfect little knitted something. Go ahead, try one…you may find yourself making a whole set! After all, isn’t there something so appealing about cloth napkins? I’ve slowly been trying to transition into using cloth napkins instead of paper ones just to take one little step in the right direction, environment-wise. A tiny flirty napkin skirt is the perfect complement to a cloth napkin.

If you like this pattern, make sure to pick up a copy of YarnPlay at Home. It’s filled with all sorts of projects for your home, both big and small. Some of my favorites include cozies of all sorts…for your French press, for a wine bottle, even for a CD. Plus Mason’s signature take on color mixing is apparent throughout in her blankets and pillows.

Stay tuned for the next knitalong project… Hint, hint: It’s from YarnPlay at Home.

If you like Mason’s take on home décor, make sure to check out her first book, YarnPlay. It’s filled with tons of fashionable sweaters and tops, plus some wearables for kids and a few home décor items thrown in for good measure. Check out Lisa’s blog to see what she’s been up to lately.

Happy (little) knitting!
