Sweater-a-long IN PERSON is back!!!

We are so thrilled to bring back the Flax Sweater-A-Long

This isn't so much a class, but a gathering to work on the Flax Sweater together (IN PERSON!!!!!!) and help out at any point that you need help! This is great for someone attempting their first sweater or someone who has attempted a sweater but it never fits right!

Who: Anyone who wants to knit a top-down raglan sweater. This is a perfect first sweater if you haven't tried. You must know how to knit, purl, increase, decrease, use double-pointed needles and/or magic loop.

What: We will all be knitting the same pattern, Flax by Tin Can Knits
This sweater is available in a large range of sizes, looks great on males, females, babies, and is the perfect first sweater! You can view the pattern here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/flax

When: Saturday, August 14th, 28th, September 11th & 25th from 6pm to 8pm. You can come to as many or as few sessions as you would like. This isn't a class where we are all at the same spot in the project (except the first day), this is to help YOU on your journey to your first sweater. Make-up sessions will not be available if you miss a session.

Where: A Little Knitty 102 E. Main Street Auburn, WA 98002 (IN PERSON!!!! Did we mention it's in person????)

Why: Because you want to make a sweater, but want a little help along the way!

Cost: $40 which includes printing of the pattern, 8 hours of help time and 10% off your yarn order total!

Supplies you will need:
Worsted Weight Yarn in the following amounts:
Baby - 2 skeins
Little Kid - 3 skeins
Older Kid to XS - 4 skeins
Small to S/M - 5 skeins
M to M/L - 6 skeins
L - 7 skeins
XL - 8 skeins
2X to 3X - 9 skeins
4X - 10 skeins
Of course these are estimates and you can order JUST in case, and make an awesome hat if you have leftovers!

US6 and US8 in 16" and 32" as well as US6 DPN (or you can do magic loop with your 32") If you have an interchangeable set...that will work perfectly!

Do a stockinette swatch in the round on the larger needles before you come to class (if this is Greek to you, ask me for more information and I'm happy to provide it!)

If you would like to order some yarn for this project, we recommend Rios by Malabrigo - 100% Superwash Merino (you can select your color here: http://www.malabrigoyarn.com/rios and we will special order it for you and have it all balled up and ready for you to start your swatch before the class starts). Each skein is $15. Just select your color and email us at info@alittleknitty.com with the quantity and color. Please note, this is hand-dyed yarn and there are some variations in color, which we will address in the sweater-a-long.

Another yarn option is Deluxe Worsted by Universal. It is a more rustic, non-superwash wool that makes for a beautiful finished sweater. This yarn is $8.50 per skein and colors can be selected here: https://universalyarn.com/quality_color.php?quality=44

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...
