LYS Day Kit




LYS Day (Local Yarn Store Day for those who don't fawn over fiber) is coming!!! LYS Day is traditionally held in April...but nothing about 2020 is traditional! When COVID-19 struck in March, they postponed LYS Day to September 12th, 2020. We can't really host the fun-filled event that we would like (full of friends, fiber, and food....our favorite F-words!) but we have curated a fun-filled box that you can purchase online and ship to your door or pick up in shop on Saturday, September 12th.

Here's a BIG hint of what comes in the box (color of yarn and pompom will vary!!)



Each kit includes....

1 Skein Mecha Yarn (Bulky Weight Yarn) by Malabrigo (mystery color!!!)
1 Faux Fur Pompom (mystery color)
1 "Creativity Takes Courage" Travel Mug - Teal 
Cedar Sachet
2 Printed Patterns (1 knit & 1 crochet) plus additional inspiration below
Free Shipping

$55 Retail Value

Yours for $49

You can purchase yours here beginning Wednesday, September 9th at 10am PST : https://www.alittleknitty.com/shop/Exclusively-A-Little-Knitty/p/LYS-Day-2020-Kit-x51498911.htm

Thank you for your year-round support...especially through Covid times!! We look forward to a time when we can gather together...until then, keep crafting!!

Inspiration


We found so many lovely patterns on Ravelry for Mecha yarn! We printed two for the kits (as they are free patterns and we are able to distribute) but there were so many perfect paid for patterns that we needed to give shout outs to! Here is a little more inspiration!

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!

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...
