Helping Animals in Need


Before we start....MANY of the patterns you will find here and online are not US patterns. PLEASE check the mm size of the knitting needle or crochet hook before starting your project. 8-ply for the most part means worsted weight! Ok...now read on...

You can go to this facebook group and they have some great files you can download for patterns: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CraftGuildAmerica/files/

We will collect anything you would like to donate and send to our local hub!!

After discussing this topic with a local animal rescue, one of the BEST things we can do is donate funds to a reputable charity that helps animals in Australia. She recommended the Australia Zoo (home of the Crocodile Hunter) because of their ongoing work with protecting animals there. Although they don't specify on their site that donations will be used for animals injured in the fire, I have no doubt that a lot of their resources will be going that way for the coming years...as they work to protect the species that in danger of becoming extinct.

Please don't feel obligated to give financially...I have made contact with our local hub and have an address to send items to! If you would like to drop off a handmade item, please feel free to do so at your convenience. I will plan on mailing out at the end of next week, then mailing as necessary!

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!

Hilde's Corner

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...
