Hilde's Corner - Malabrigo March

I've been distracted from my other knitting projects while I participate in Malabrigo March on Ravelry with the Malabrigo Junkies Group!


It's not too late to join in the fun - it runs all month and finishing is not a requirement. It's all about casting on!


For this KAL, I am knitting Hygge Cowl by Kristen TenDyke in Malabrigo Silky Merino and I am loving this pattern! It's a simple lace pattern and it seems to fly off the needles. Slight shaping is done by changing needle sizes. I can't wait to wear it. The pattern is $5.99 on Ravelry. Of course, you can use any yarn in DK. I think it would look great in Jody Long's Ciao.


I am also knitting Comfrey cowl by Sara Gresbach ($4 on Ravelry) and using Malabrigo Mecha. Another quick knit in bulkier yarn and a simple lace pattern. It would be so cozy in Juniper Moon's Beatrix! That yarn is so soft. I have another cowl knit up in that and I swear it's like wearing a kitten around your neck! I can't take it off!


The last item I'm knitting for the KAL is Brookgreen Cardi by Laura Aylor ($7 on Ravelry). I am using Malabrigo sock, but any fingering weight yarn would work (yes, fingering. Yes...I'm crazy!!) If you are crazy too, I think Shetland Lite would be another great option (the Malabrigo sock I am using I had difficulty getting gauge, I think the Shetland Lite would work much better).

If you want to join in the fun, it's not too late to join. Maybe I'll see you over there - I help out in the "Plump" thread where people using bulkier Malabrigo are chatting!

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!

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       ⃞          ⃞...
