Fan-freaking-tastic Fudge

I had no intention of making fudge today, but B was cruisin' the net and decided his mission for the day would be fudge. I wasn't going to say no, and when he scooped up both kids and took them on his fudge ingredient finding mission...I was ALL FOR IT!!!!

So the recipes we used were here and here....but I tweaked it a bit...

Fan-freaking-tastic Fudge
Servings: Should be a lot, or just for you!

Ingredients
-3.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
-1/4 cup butter
-14 oz sweetened condensed milk
-1/3 cup Bailey's (Omit if you are giving this to young children or pour yourself a drink if you are dealing with young children)

1. Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds at a time until completely melted.
2. Over low heat, warm condensed milk and butter.
3. Add melted chocolate to condensed milk and butter and stir until completely incorporated. Then continually stir until it is a little shiny (I know that might be strange, but that seems to be about the time it's ready to roll)
4. Pour into lined pan or disposable pan
5. Eat
6. Feel guilty because you intended to give the fudge as gifts.
7. Make another batch
8. Do squats while the chocolate chips melt, in hopes of burning off a few calories
9. Promise to go to the gym tomorrow

Ta-Da! You have amazing fudge and it is SUPER easy!!!

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

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...
