I finally finished SOMETHING

It's no surprise, this hot weather just sucks the knitting mojo right out of me. Especially when it means putting a hot sweater on my hot lap in order to finish it!!

But when we had a tiny cold snap (how I loved you, cold snap!!!) I got my butt in gear to finish my trip off sleeve island and I finished my modified Flax from last year!!!

But when I finished the sleeve (it's only a 3/4 sleeve...how did it take me SOOOO long???) I decided I didn't like the collar, so I ripped that out and did it again!

Now it is completely done, all the ends are woven in, it had a bath and now I just wait for it to dry!!

So, by my math...I finished 1 thing so I get to cast on 3 more!!!!!

My first new cast on is the Salty Air Tee

This has been in my queue FOREVER and I have been talking about getting it done...then this weekend TWO ladies on our trip to Salem were making it...so I decided NOW IS THE TIME!!!!!

I picked up some gorgeous yarn from Boss Kitty when we were in Salem and upon arrival home I made a little gauge swatch and now I'm officially off and running on my sweater. This will be so cute to wear over skirts this fall!

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 ⃞ ⃞...
