Getting back to our new normal!

What a whirlwind 2 weeks it has been. I went from worrying we would get pushed back to phase 2, to finding out the state will reopen at the end of June and the CDC announced vaccinated people can go mask free!!!! WOW!!!!

I'm still figuring some things out...but we have Private Lessons, Small Group Help Sessions and CLASSES all back in July (and a couple private lessons in June too!!!)

Our employees haven't had the chance to be fully vaccinated yet, so we will be requiring face masks by ALL shoppers (vaccinated or not) until June 4th. After the 4th we will follow State guidelines as far as mask wearing and distancing is concerned. Vaccinated customers will not be required to wear a facemask, unvaccinated customers will be asked to continue to wear them while shopping, during social events and classes. We will not require vaccination to take a class. We will not be checking immunization records as we TRUST our customers will not lie and endanger others in our community. We understand not everyone can or wants to vaccinate, if that is a case you will need to wear a mask. This is not up for debate or negotiation.

We will be discontinuing Virtual Sit-n-Stitch as of today. It was a great way to connect while we were all inside our homes, but over the last couple months attendance has tapered and I think we are ALLLLLLL Zoom fatigued!!!

We will continue one Zoom session, which is the Virtual Knit-a-long with Susan. She will host a 1 hour knit-a-long every Wednesday in June from 7pm to 8pm. You can read more about it on our blog post HERE or register for the Knit-a-long HERE

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

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

Free Pattern - Moose Mountain Cowl

Materials: Yarnalia Cloud - 50g / 142 Yards - Main Color = Grey, Contrast Color = Blue 70% Baby Alpaca 7% Merino Wool 23%Recycled Polyamide US13 24” Circular Knitting Needles 1 Stitch Marker Gauge : 12.5 stitches per 4” in Pattern Finished Measurements: Jen’s Pattern Notes: We love using this little knitting hack of knitting one round when we change our colors. This eliminates the purl stitches looking a little funky (if you know, you know). We decreased by 25% of the stitches about halfway through the cowl to allow the top of the cowl to be a little closer to the neck and the bottom spread over your shoulders if you want to wear it that way! We gave you little check boxes to check off as you complete repeats. **PATTERN** Using Main Color, CO92, place stitch marker and join in the round Round 1: (K2, P2) Repeat parentheses all the way around Repeat Round 1 six more times ⃞ ⃞...
