Olympics Knitting

 


The first project I'm going to chat about is the Collections Scarf by Tif Neilan


This is a new pattern by Tif and you can find it for $7 on Ravelry. I am using a dark brown skein of Cozy Alpaca along with 1 ball of Tsubame from Noro  I LOVE watching how the color of the Noro yarn changes. The first part of the pattern you need to pay a bit more attention, but once you get it up to your final stitch count, it's an easy to remember repeat!! Of course you know I LOVE me some easy to remember patterns! ;)

My second project is Tea House by All Knit Up Designs (she has a sliding scale, pay what you can system...so check out the listing for the cost details!)

I'm using 2 colors of fingering weight yarn. The darker green is from Juni + Si and the light green is from Nanostitch Labs. I love that this shawl is ALLLLL about local!!! I have been craving a project that is outside my normal color pallet...and this is exactly what I needed! It makes me happy and I just love how dainty that picot bindoff looks!! You could use ANY fingering weight yarn...dive into that stash and have fun!!

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!

How are you all doing with holiday gifts? Still need a few to knock out quick-like? I found these cute gifts that I think could work up fast. For the book lovers on your list, I think these cute crocheted chicken bookmarks are hilarious! Crochet Colorful Chicken Bookmark by PurrCraftedDesign . The pattern sells for $4.95 on Ravelry and calls for a sport weight cotton. The shop sells a DK cotton that would also work beautifully for these cuties - Ricorumi Another bookmark pattern is Leaf Bookmark & Garland Motif by Joey Diehl . This pattern is FREE and calls for Worsted weight yarn, so Uptown Worsted would be perfect for this. How about a sweet pocket friend for a child? This one is super basic, called Worry Pet by Blue Fox Paws and is a FREE pattern and uses any gauge yarn! It would be fun to use a textured yarn, or a fuzzy kind, but any yarn works. You can opt to put the ears on or not. We have safety eyes in the shop, too! Do you know someone who uses Airpods and could use a co...
