Random Ballsacks

I have a mini skein obsession. Not just purchasing mini skeins, but also using small bits of 100g skeins, then looking for projects that will use up my leftovers.

I kept stuffing all my left over bits (all different weights) in one bag, but as I was knitting the hats from the Knitting the National Parks book, I started thinking about a drawstring bag that could have a pin added to help me keep things organized....and the Random Ballsack was created!!

This drawstring bag measures 11" x 16"

Pins are 1" wide and say "SOCK" "DK" or "WORSTED"

Let's say you love to knit socks...every time you finish a sock, put the leftovers in your Random Ballsack with the Sock Pin. Next time you need a pop of color for your socks, check the random ballsack first!! When the bag fills up...it's time to find an awesome pattern to use up those bits (we have some ideas here: https://www.ravelry.com/bundles/get-scrappy and remember, you can hold sock weight double and knit DK socks or hats!!!)

These bags & pins are now available in-store and 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!

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 ⃞ ⃞...
