A Little Knitty

Before I started this knitting blog, I had a blog that had all sorts of ramblings, randomness and crockpot recipes. I really wanted to bring a bit more of my life to this knitting blog...so I decided to merge the two. Now, you can find all my randomness AND knitting related stuff all in one spot! I hope you enjoy and look forward to sharing what goes on inside my mind (warning: it's a scary place to visit!) Jen

I love when inspiration strikes...I love even more when an idea works on the first try. I love to introduce new designs to my collection...but it frequently looks somewhat like this... Step #1 dream up something Step #2 sketch Step #3 start knitting Step #4 not thrilled with what it going on, go back to step 2 Step #5 remember to write down all my pattern notes Step #6 finish Step #7 pick the item apart and make it again :) Step #8 take photos and introduce to the world This hat went straight from step #1 to #8...which is pretty awesome

I love fall!!!  I love wearing layers, sweaters, scarves, cowls, mittens...anything soft and cozy! I also love that its also hat season and I find inspiration for so many new patterns.   The pumpkin is an older pattern...but the football & santa cap are new.     I have a few more fall/winter inspired hats up my sleeve...then I think it might be time to think about releasing a book of these treasures! :)    

What is Antsquare you ask?                 Antsquare is a new platform for Seattle area merchants, artists, designers, makers and all those crafty folk to list their wares for sale....and super smart shoppers can find them! Just find what you want, check out, select the time and location of pick up and...   BOOM   ...awesomeness will ensue shortly!       I think it's a genius idea and I'm very excited to list my products with them! So what are you waiting for? Download the app and get shopping! Support small handmade shops...it's good for the soul! ;)     P.s. if you aren't local to the seattle area...I believe they will be adding shipping options shortly and who knows, maybe if you contact them they will branch out to your city!!   

I feel like the Pumpkin Hat deserves a little love right now. It has been my number one seller for a couple weeks now...not only selling the finished hats, but the patterns too. 'Tis the Season! :) You can pick up the pattern on Etsy , Ravelry & Craftsy ! Edited 10/10/2015: AND because of the popularity of this hat, it is now available in 5 sizes on this one pattern! So now when you purchase the pattern from the links above, you will receive newborn, 3-6 months, 12-18 months, 2-3 years and youth sizes!! Hope you enjoy! Jen

This year seems to be the year of the cowl, for me at least. I love dreaming them up, I love knitting them, I love that they are so easy to wear and universal...basically I just love them! I decided to compile my 4 newest cowl patterns into one mini book.   The mini book is available on Etsy , and Craftsy .   Happy Knitting!!! Jen

Cowls add a fun splash of color to any outfit AND they keep you nice and warm! Both of these new patterns knit up quickly and make great gifts this Christmas! Let's take a moment to meet the new additions to the 'A Little Knitty' Family... The 'Amanda' Cowl   The 'Jane' Cowl   What are you waiting for?? Get your patterns on Ravelry , Craftsy or Etsy and get knitting right now! Jen
