New Product - Coastal Cotton

I'm always on the search for that perfect worsted-weight cotton that is equal parts great quality and great price. We have so many people who want to start knitting or crocheting, and I am of the opinion that a washcloth is a great place to start. No, this doesn't mean you need to keep making washcloths until you have fully mastered the craft...but it's just a great starting point because it goes fairly quickly (I have heard MANY stories of people casting on a long scarf...then giving up because it NEVER ends!!!!). It's common to get frustrated with a big first project because we want to feel accomplished!! Also, even if there are bumps in the road, a washcloth will still wash things! Who cares if there are some holes, those are where you hang it up!!

Anyway...my point! When I discovered this yarn from Queensland Collection I was excited because it is perfect for dishcloths/washcloths and I'm excited to bring it to the shop!

Coastal Cotton comes in many colors (we just brought in a few to start with!) and is great for market bags and wearables too!!

Since it is a newer yarn, there aren't a ton of projects on Ravelry yet, but there are about 150 so far and that's a good start!! Check out what others are doing with this great yarn HERE!

You can find this yarn in-store or online 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!
