Giveaway Time!

I ADORE The Ellen DeGeneres Show. I watch when I can (read: when my kids are forced into quiet time, being not so quiet) and yesterday when I was watching the 12 days of giveaways, I was daydreaming about how freaking cool it would be to have her job. I mean, giving away stuff that you didn't have to pay for and making some very lucky people VERY happy...that would be fan-freaking-tastic!

So today, I was approached to do a little give away on my blog and I thought....O.M.G. THIS IS MY CHANCE!!! Ok, so it's on a very small scale and only one item (not 12 days) but it's still pretty cool!

First of all, have you heard of Origami Owl? They make these amazing lockets that I have fallen in love with. Truth be told, I'm completely in awe of the Founder of the company...meet Bella...


She is the ripe ol' age of SIXTEEN!!!!! You can read all about her, and her company, here. I am green with envy that I didn't come up with the concept...it is pretty stinkin' cleaver! You can learn all about the living lockets here, but here is the cliff notes version:

They make lockets...you can personalize them with charms, plates, chains and dangles...then you wear them! Easy-peasy!

This happens to be the one I made!


Nanette Seevers (who happens to be my amazing cousin) is a designer for the company and she has offered up a medium locket and two charms of your choice for the winner of our contest!! I'm excited, can you tell?????

So....how do you win???? Go enter The Origami Owl Giveaway and good luck to you!!!!

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...
