Eat, Sleep, Knit


I kinda need this...so I can knit and be warm and comfy at the same time. I guess technically it would be SO much cooler if I knitted it myself, but that's not gonna happen. 

So...guess what is on my knitting needles right now? 

hahahaha...that's a trick question because I have 987987987 projects going at the same time...and since both my grandma's gave me all their knitting needles, I really do have close to that many pairs of knitting needles. In fact, here is a photo of just a few of my special ones that I inherited from the grandma that taught me to knit...



These sit in a vase in my garden window as a reminder of my wonderful grandma. I figured this was a much better way of displaying them as art instead of just stuffing them in one of my MANY totes of yarn. It is strange to people who don't understand the story, (you have a vase of knitting needles in your window?) but they make me happy.

Wow...I go off course so easily!

Anyway...

That adorable hat right there is what I'm currently working on (in tan) for my little girl, P. It's one of the funkiest patterns I've ever done, but it's pretty darn cool how it's coming out. If you are interested in the pattern, click on the photo. I purchased it from Ravelry. If you don't know what Ravelry is, GET OVER THERE RIGHT NOW. I apologize in advance! ;)

I also have preemie hats on my needles too. I decided this year, instead of knitting for profit, I would knit for charity (and of course my kids, they need hats!).

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...
