Join the Community Coral Reef

Today I received a super cute letter from the Community Coral Reef Project

They are looking for knitters, crocheters, weavers and felters to create and donate pieces to their Community Coral Reef Project. They are creating an installation which will allow people to walk through an underwater fiber art world. They welcome donations of healthy and bleached corals, underwater creatures and items made from reclaimed and recycled plastics. Their goal is to emphasize the beauty and diversity of the undersea world while educating about climate change and pollution by maritime plastics.

Their deadline is August 1, 2023. They hope to display their reef at a number of locations through the Pacific Northwest. They will start at the Lincoln City Cultural Center with an installation in September 2023.

Please visit: www.coralknitfiberarts.com and click on The Community Coral Reef Project for more information, free patterns and inspiration!

If you would like to drop your finished pieces at A Little Knitty, I will collect and ship to them when we have a bag full of donations!

Tag your projects on social media #pnwcommunitycoralreef

I plan on crocheting up some of these with plastic bags!!

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

The Gia Chemo Cap doesn't have the same sort of story behind it as the Karen Cap , but it was developed with Chemo patients in mind! 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
