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!

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

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 ⃞ ⃞...
