Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

Today is the birthday of Dr. Seuss....so I thought I would share the "artwork" that I made for the kids playnook (we call it a playroom, but it's really just the corner of the living room!)

Upclose...

The quote is from Oh! The Places You'll Go! and says...

You have brains in your head

You have feet in your shoes

You can steer yourself in any direction you choose

I hope as my kids get older they will read this a lot...a mother can hope! :)

I bought a cheap canvas at Michael's, painted it blue all over then sponged on some white puffy clouds. Then borrowed my friend's vinyl cutter to do the letters. Easy Peasy!

It didn't turn out 100% like I thought it would (I'm an amazing artist in my head, in reality I'm on par with a 4th grader)....but my son thinks I'm cool, and that's all I can really ask for!

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!

Chemo Caps - Part 2

The Gia Chemo Cap doesn't have the same sort of story behind it as the Karen Cap , but it was developed with Chemo patients in mind! Please share this pattern with anyone who would like to knit a hat for someone in need! You can download your pattern here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/gia-chemo-cap
