Stitch for Charity

I have mentioned it before, but we have a basket in the shop that is full of random yarns and scarves that have been started...we just need you to add your flare to the scarves!

Yesterday, we had a couple sweet ladies stop into the shop and the basket caught the eye of one. She asked what it meant and was excited to try a few rows, and she convinced her friend to pick up the crochet scarf. They both said it had been forever since they knit or crochet, but very quickly (and with very little instruction from me) they were busy at work. It was so nice to visit with them...the best conversations are had when people craft together.

It's so heartwarming to see someone take a little bit of their day to do something kind for others.

If you would like to stop in and knit or crochet a few rows, we would love your help! When each scarf is finished it will be distributed to someone in need.

We hope to create lots of scarves this fall in the shop and at our booth at the Tacoma Holiday Food & Gift Show and Victorian Country Christmas!

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
