New yarn CashSilk Light

It feels like all I'm chatting about this week is silk (not a bad problem to have!!!)

This yarn I have been PATIENTLY waiting for since the summer!!! I instantly fell in love with this 70% Merino Wool, 20% Silk, 10% Cashmere yarn as soon as I touched it! It had the warmth and fluff of mohair, without the prickly-ness and allergy issues (I keep chatting with people who discover mohair hates them too....I feel like we need a club or a secret handshake!!!!) Anywho....this yarn needs to be touched to really see how amazing it is!! I refer to yarns like this as "Faux-Mo" because it's an excellent mohair alternative. Substitute it anywhere mohair is used in a pattern, or add it to a strand of fingering weight yarn to make a fluffy hat...the options are endless!!!

We have this free pattern available in the shop (as seen in the photo above). When you purchase the yarn in-store or online, let us know if you would like us to include the pattern. The yarn is SOOOOOOOO new that the pattern isn't on Ravelry yet, but it will be soon!!!

We ordered EVERY color this yarn comes in, so come find your favorite!

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

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...
