New Yarn Drifter Aran

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

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!

Chemo Caps - Part 2

Please share this pattern with anyone who would like to knit a hat for someone in need! You can download your pattern here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/gia-chemo-cap

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...
