It's Laundry Time

I'm not a fan of paying for things you just throw away/wash down the drain. I know laundry detergent is necessary to get our clothes clean, I just don't like paying much for it! I am excited to try this...


It is the new laundry detergent from Norwex. I think I'm most excited because it is supposed to be awesome on cloth diapers too, so I will no longer have to buy two different detergents (and those diaper detergents aren't cheap!)

I have yet to try it, but will report back when I do...however the preliminary financial stats look promising...

One bag will get you:
552 loads using 1/2 tsp. per load for Front Load HE =$0.04 / load
276 loads using 1 tsp. per load for Front Load HE = $0.08 / load
92 Loads using 1 Tablespoon Top Load (Soft Water) =$.23 / load
46 Loads using 2 T. Top Load (Hard water) =$0.46 / load

We have a front load HE, so I'm kinda excited that I should only have to use 1/2 tsp!

How does this stack up to other detergents?

80 Load box of Tide HE powder, cost $21.99 ($0.27 / load)
48 Load bottle of Tide HE free & gentle, cost $12.25 ($0.25/load).

Even if you use the full tsp for your HE front load, you would need 3 boxes of Tide to do the same amount of loads, which is $65.97, instead of $20.99 for Norwex Ultra Power Plus.

Karen Chemo Cap 5th Anniversary Makeover

I had someone ask me about the Karen Chemo Cap Fan Stitch and I decided the video and pattern were both in need of a make-over! Especially when I noticed this year is the 5th anniversary of publishing this pattern. When my mom had chemo I made her a few different hats because honestly it felt like the only thing I could do. I designed this one just for her, and was super excited when it was her favorite! After she passed I wasn't sure I wanted to release the design, but with a little time...it felt like the right thing to do! You can download the pattern for free here (please give it a favorite over on Ravelry so that it gets a little Ravelry love!!!):  Ravelry: Karen Chemo Cap pattern by A Little Knitty Designs You can purchase the yarn we used here:  Cumulus by Juniper Moon Farm (alittleknitty.com) Here is the video if you need help with the fan stitch!

Copilot Remix

Years ago I found the Copilot Cowl by Dominique Trad on Ravelry  and it had two of my ABSOLUTE favorite things...garter stitch and yarn overs! I cast one on for a trip I was taking and knit it while I was traveling. It was the perfect project to keep my attention, but I didn't need to take the pattern out constantly. After knitting one, I noticed that the length of it was just too long for my liking, I wanted it to be a simple, single-wrap cowl. I reworked it a little bit and it is my go-to when I have a skein of fingering weight yarn (especially if it is a singly-ply!!) Copilot Remix Materials:     1 skein 100g/440 fingering weight yarn (if your skein is a little more or a little less, no problem, I put in weights so you can use up all your yarn and not play yarn chicken!)                      US6/4mm 24" circular knitting needles                      Stitch...
