I LOOOOOOVE chevron. I know it has come in and out of style since the 60s...but I will have a love for it FOREVER!!! This free pattern is fun and takes 3 balls of Deluxe Stripes by Universal Yarns. The best part....you don't have a ton of ends to weave in at the end!!! You just let the yarn stripe up and make you look like the knitting rockstar that we know that you are!!

I am receiving more and more requests for a crochet class. We aren't able to do them in person right now, and I have TRIED via zoom, and it's just not the right fit for me. So I went on the search for online crochet instructors and came across Alex Creates! If you are interested in an online crochet class, I highly recommend this one!  https://www.alexcreates.us/collections/classes-and-workshops/products/my-first-crochet-hat?variant=31923010109513

Laundress Wool Wash, Sweater Combs and Mesh Bags have been restocked AND you can now get them online!!  I first discovered Laundress when I watched this YouTube video by Ewe University! I was so impressed with how well it cleaned all the stains that I ordered a sample that day! I loved it even more after I used it. The wool wash has a super light cedar scent when you smell it in the bottle, but after you wash your garment, you don't really have a scent at all. Just happy, fresh wool!  The mesh bags work great for washing sweaters OR facemasks!! You can pick up wool wash, mesh bags and sweater combs in shop or online!  Laundress - 859675001054 (alittleknitty.com)

How stinkin' cute is this hat?????? Hilde just finished this adorable hat and of course I asked if I could share it with all of you! She used 3 balls of Ciao by Jody Long (almost every bit of the black and only half of the other two colors). You can find the yarn here:  Jody Long - Ciao - 001 (alittleknitty.com) You can find the pattern here:  https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/unbearable-hat

We are putting the final touches on our Virtual Retreat March 4-7th!! During this Virtual Retreat we will knit the Kay Scarf (you can check it out here on Ravelry: Kay pattern by Sandi Rosner ) What is a virtual retreat? We'll be doing this through a private Facebook Group, so what happens there stays there! Join us in your PJ's...or whatever (we won't tell!) Both ALK and BFQ will be hosting break out sessions for classes in our respective mediums. Each of us will be offering a "feature" pattern (included in the goodie bags!) and classes related to it. You are welcome to join the classes even if you didn't grab the goodie bag before the retreat. We'll create a "room" within the group so that only those wanting to attend the class session will be "in" the live video chat, while everyone else can still interact on the main group page. People who have special interests are welcome to create mini rooms to chat as well! We'll have a hap...

I love watching youtube videos that educate me about the fibers that I love so much. From time to time when I find something that I felt was really valuable, I will share it with you guys! I know the first time I used a single-ply worsted weight yarn to make a hat, I thought I screwed up because one leg of the V was skinnier than the other...this video explains that it is normal and gave me a great visual to see WHY it happens!! Enjoy!

Drifter has been a great seller in the shop. This DK weight cotton/acrylic/wool blend is just perfect for those easy care accessories and garments you want to create. With a soft feel, it's really fun to work with, and it stripes up so cool, it makes you look like a rockstar! Last week we brought in Drifter's big sister, Drifter Aran. Both of these yarns come to us from the UK, where they use the term "Aran" and not "Worsted" but this yarn is 218 yards for 100g and gauges perfectly as a worsted weight yarn.  For this hat below, I paired the color changing Drifter Aran with Uptown Worsted for the brim...they work really well together! We are including a free pattern for the hat with purchase of the yarn!!  I also slammed out 80% of one mitten. It doesn't have a thumb....don't judge me! ;) Get this fun yarn in 10 awesome colors (we used Dolomites for this hat/mitten) in-store or online https://www.alittleknitty.com/shop/Yarn/Worsted-Weight-Yarn/p/King...

https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/recollect-cowl I want to knit this cowl SOOOO badly....but I promised myself I would finish some of my other projects first (a new design and prepping for virtual classes are SUPER important!!!) but I dream of knitting this and it would be amazing knit up in United....which just happens to be our yarn of the month!!!
