My first Pin

Alright people, I'm about to dip my foot into the pool of blogging for the purpose of pinning it on Pinterest. I'm pretty excited! :)

When my daughter was born I bought this dress in size 12 month.


Every month I would put her in this dress and snap her photo. It looked slightly insane the first month, in fact when I posted the photo I didn't explain it, and had a friend question whether the dress might be a tad bit too big! hehehe She was swimming in it! The second month she really chunked up and we worried the dress would even fit at 12 months! But we made it, and even have room to spare so I'm thinking I'll continue with the photos until she is bursting out of the dress! 

Ok...so then I took all these monthly photos and printed them out, grabbed some ribbon and some clothes pins....


...and displayed them at her birthday party this weekend. It's SO much fun to watch her grow into this dress. It's hard to remember how tiny she was! 

It has been fun and I think friends and family have enjoyed it too! Give it a shot if you have a bun in the oven! :)

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...
