Random Ballsacks

I have a mini skein obsession. Not just purchasing mini skeins, but also using small bits of 100g skeins, then looking for projects that will use up my leftovers.

I kept stuffing all my left over bits (all different weights) in one bag, but as I was knitting the hats from the Knitting the National Parks book, I started thinking about a drawstring bag that could have a pin added to help me keep things organized....and the Random Ballsack was created!!






This drawstring bag measures 11" x 16"





Pins are 1" wide and say "SOCK" "DK" or "WORSTED"

Let's say you love to knit socks...every time you finish a sock, put the leftovers in your Random Ballsack with the Sock Pin. Next time you need a pop of color for your socks, check the random ballsack first!! When the bag fills up...it's time to find an awesome pattern to use up those bits (we have some ideas here: https://www.ravelry.com/bundles/get-scrappy and remember, you can hold sock weight double and knit DK socks or hats!!!)


These bags & pins are now available in-store and 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!

Hilde's Corner

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...
