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!
