Doomsday Bunkers

My husband is watching Discovery Channel (nice change from History Channel, but a little too much education for this chica) and there is a show called Doomsday Bunkers. You can watch it here http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/doomsday-bunkers-prepping-for-nuclear-meltdown.html it is riveting TV.

First of all, I'm all for being prepared for a disaster. My Father-in-law started us a very nice emergency kit that I plan on adding to so that we are better prepared. Granted, the kit could have 2 pixi-sticks, gum and a book of matches in it and we would be better prepared. The power went out a couple months ago and we couldn't find a working flashlight (when you have kids, flashlights are no longer tools to be used for when the power is off. They become toys to be left on and drain the batteries) nor could I find a candle. I felt like Super-Mom!!

So anyway, I think it's great to be prepared in case of an emergency. I do find spending thousands of dollars on an underground shelter completely insane....and that's what this show is all about. Watch just a tiny bit of the show and report back.....

*sings to herself*

Thrilling stuff huh?

For a moment let's pretend like tomorrow is the day zombies attack. The Doomsday bunker people retreat like moles into their vacation home under the ground and the rest of us are zombie lunch. After the dust has settled and the zombies move on (or go to wherever zombies go) and all these crazies....I mean, smart and clearly not insane, people return groundside. Now, forgive me if this is rude....but these are the people who will repopulate the earth???

Maybe being zombie bait isn't such a bad thing.

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!
