It's the end of an era

I had NO clue I would be this sad...but the adorable plastic bags (you know, the white filagree looking bags we give at checkout???) that I have purchased FOREVER for the shop are no longer being made. It's probably for the best, as I really should be using bags that are better for the planet...AND we really should be encouraging you to bring your own reusable bags!

So....here is the plan...

#1 You should bring your reusable bag when you shop at A Little Knitty because these biodegradable bags aren't that great. I tested them in the rain and I promise they won't dissolve like rice paper...at least not between here and your car. But they aren't great and they aren't attractive. You should totally bring your own bag.

#2. You should bring your reusable bag when you shop at A Little Knitty because we are going to charge the state mandated $0.08 per bag. And paying for bags means you have less money to buy yarn. You should totally bring your own bag.

#3. You should bring your reusable bag when you shop at A Little Knitty ;)

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       ⃞          ⃞...
