New Product - Coastal Cotton

I'm always on the search for that perfect worsted-weight cotton that is equal parts great quality and great price. We have so many people who want to start knitting or crocheting, and I am of the opinion that a washcloth is a great place to start. No, this doesn't mean you need to keep making washcloths until you have fully mastered the craft...but it's just a great starting point because it goes fairly quickly (I have heard MANY stories of people casting on a long scarf...then giving up because it NEVER ends!!!!). It's common to get frustrated with a big first project because we want to feel accomplished!! Also, even if there are bumps in the road, a washcloth will still wash things! Who cares if there are some holes, those are where you hang it up!!

Anyway...my point! When I discovered this yarn from Queensland Collection I was excited because it is perfect for dishcloths/washcloths and I'm excited to bring it to the shop!


Coastal Cotton comes in many colors (we just brought in a few to start with!) and is great for market bags and wearables too!!

Since it is a newer yarn, there aren't a ton of projects on Ravelry yet, but there are about 150 so far and that's a good start!! Check out what others are doing with this great yarn HERE!

You can find this yarn in-store or online HERE

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!

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...
