A Little Knitty

Merry Christmas!! I hope no matter what you celebrate this Holiday Season, it's filled with yarn and knitting needles! *grins* Even though it's a holiday...Free Knitting Pattern Friday has become a thing for me...so here we go! I love designing hats, but I have to say that I fall back on making most of my hats for the females. It might be because I am one, it might be because they are just so darn cute...who knows...but I do! I came across this FREE knitting pattern and I think it would be a great knit for any man in your life! The pattern suggests you use Cascade 220...which is probably my favorite all purpose yarn ever! Happy Knitting!! Jen

It's Christmas time in our house...and I know this because every few minutes my children proclaim yet another thing they would like to add to their Christmas List. I do a lot to make great Christmas memories for my kids, and of course I want to make their dreams come true...but I'm drawing a line this year! I remember the Christmas that I demanded a phone from my parents. I was RELENTLESS in my crying, whining, stomping, saying "you don't love me unless I get it"...I was SPOILED!!!! And if I remember correctly, I was 12 ('nuff said). That Christmas, I got my phone and I was over the moon happy and excited and gave a billion hugs and thank yous. This particular Christmas has come up in conversation with my mom a time or two, and she admitted she wanted to return the gift because I was being such a brat...and I honestly wish she had! Yes, the 12 year old me would have been SOOOOOOO mad, but now that I look back, there is no way my behavior should have been r...

I have been receiving more and more requests for these socks. They are great for Yoga, Pilates or any time you want warm cozy socks with some traction. Plus, they remove the parts of socks that people struggle with the most (the toe and the heel). So, if you haven't knit socks before, tackle these first! They knit up fast and make a great gift for the yogi in your life! Find the FREE Knitting Pattern Here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/yoga-socks-153 Jen

Your piece is finished...now how do you get the needles out? You will need to learn to bind off so that you can remove your work and enjoy it! Hope you are finding these Thursday Tips helpful!! Jen

Recently I attempted to become a seller on Amazon (I soon learned there are MANY ways you can become a seller on Amazon, and actually accomplished it here ). Anyway...along the road I encountered one way of selling that would require a legit email address (i.e. not gmail.com in other words). So, today I took the leap to be all sorts of legit!! info@alittleknitty.com Hope you all are knitting away this winter...I know I am!! TONS of cool new things will be coming in the New Year....stay tuned! Jen

As you all know, I love me some Craftsy. Not just for knitting, but classes of all sorts to help me get better at sewing (crossing my fingers it actually happens some day!!!) I have teamed up as an affiliate with Craftsy...so some links will be affiliate links (if you were to purchase, I would receive a small amount in exchange for my referral) and I will tag them as such. I can also share cool things like discount codes, crazy good deals on yarn and  Free Craftsy Classes I hope you enjoy the deals!! Jen
