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!

Copilot Remix

Years ago I found the Copilot Cowl by Dominique Trad on Ravelry  and it had two of my ABSOLUTE favorite things...garter stitch and yarn overs! I cast one on for a trip I was taking and knit it while I was traveling. It was the perfect project to keep my attention, but I didn't need to take the pattern out constantly. After knitting one, I noticed that the length of it was just too long for my liking, I wanted it to be a simple, single-wrap cowl. I reworked it a little bit and it is my go-to when I have a skein of fingering weight yarn (especially if it is a singly-ply!!) Copilot Remix Materials:     1 skein 100g/440 fingering weight yarn (if your skein is a little more or a little less, no problem, I put in weights so you can use up all your yarn and not play yarn chicken!)                      US6/4mm 24" circular knitting needles                      Stitch...
