Fan-freaking-tastic Fudge

I had no intention of making fudge today, but B was cruisin' the net and decided his mission for the day would be fudge. I wasn't going to say no, and when he scooped up both kids and took them on his fudge ingredient finding mission...I was ALL FOR IT!!!!

So the recipes we used were here and here....but I tweaked it a bit...

Fan-freaking-tastic Fudge
Servings: Should be a lot, or just for you!

Ingredients
-3.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
-1/4 cup butter
-14 oz sweetened condensed milk
-1/3 cup Bailey's (Omit if you are giving this to young children or pour yourself a drink if you are dealing with young children)

1. Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds at a time until completely melted.
2. Over low heat, warm condensed milk and butter.
3. Add melted chocolate to condensed milk and butter and stir until completely incorporated. Then continually stir until it is a little shiny (I know that might be strange, but that seems to be about the time it's ready to roll)
4. Pour into lined pan or disposable pan
5. Eat
6. Feel guilty because you intended to give the fudge as gifts.
7. Make another batch
8. Do squats while the chocolate chips melt, in hopes of burning off a few calories
9. Promise to go to the gym tomorrow

Ta-Da! You have amazing fudge and it is SUPER easy!!!

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

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

How are you all doing with holiday gifts? Still need a few to knock out quick-like? I found these cute gifts that I think could work up fast. For the book lovers on your list, I think these cute crocheted chicken bookmarks are hilarious! Crochet Colorful Chicken Bookmark by PurrCraftedDesign . The pattern sells for $4.95 on Ravelry and calls for a sport weight cotton. The shop sells a DK cotton that would also work beautifully for these cuties - Ricorumi Another bookmark pattern is Leaf Bookmark & Garland Motif by Joey Diehl . This pattern is FREE and calls for Worsted weight yarn, so Uptown Worsted would be perfect for this. How about a sweet pocket friend for a child? This one is super basic, called Worry Pet by Blue Fox Paws and is a FREE pattern and uses any gauge yarn! It would be fun to use a textured yarn, or a fuzzy kind, but any yarn works. You can opt to put the ears on or not. We have safety eyes in the shop, too! Do you know someone who uses Airpods and could use a co...
