United by Queensland

United is one of the first yarns I brought into the shop when we were super tiny...and it continues to be one of our staples!! It's a great cotton/lambswool blend that has the warmth of wool with the coolness of cotton...it's a really beautiful relationship! :)

United is an 100% organic yarn, spun from organic non mulesed Lamb's Wool & Cotton, carrying a GOTS certification which requires that all stages of the production are ecologically, environmentally, and ethically sustainable. In addition, it is certified by Oeko-Tex Standard 100, guaranteeing that every component from the label to the yarn fibers are 100% safe to humans and free of harmful substances. Enjoy the springiness of baby soft wool with the softness of cotton, perfect for almost every knitting and crochet project you can imagine - perfect for the ecologically minded consumer.

I discovered recently that they added some super fun colors to the offerings...so I jumped on bringing them into the shop!

You can discover all of these new colors in-store or online HERE

I originally brought this yarn in to make the On The Spice Market Shawl

And I'm feeling the itch to knit this one again in some of the new colors!! Please note, this is considered a sport weight yarn, but I personally have used it for fingering weight patterns with no issues at all!

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...
