Katrinkles - Darn Good Stuff

Lately we have been receiving more requests for darning supplies. I am LOVING this trend because I think clothes deserve to keep living even after they have a hole!

While I was in Chicago I stopped by a couple booths to get supplies (fun fact: The dress I'm wearing in the photo below has a little visible mending on it because I was too close to a campfire and it spit a little ember onto me and made a hole. I LOVE that dress so there was no way it was going anywhere!!!!)

First stop was the Katrinkles booth! I love catching up with these ladies ANY time I can, and they have the best little darning tool around!

My second stop was the Bryson booth! I heard they had these new kits that had just a little bit of darning yarn for fixing all those clothes that need some extra love! There are lots of colors and you will for sure find one that works with anything you are trying to mend!

We now have the darning looms and darning yarn for sale in-store and online!!

Plus we got a few cute new things from Katrinkles...Check them out!

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

The Gia Chemo Cap doesn't have the same sort of story behind it as the Karen Cap , but it was developed with Chemo patients in mind! 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

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 ⃞ ⃞...
