Brrrrr....it's cold in here

It's that time of year...when it gets chilly in the shop...so I just wanted to put out a quick Public Service Announcement

We have a cement floor that gets cold and stays cold. It's not noticeable when you are shopping, but if you are in a class or sit-n-stitch it can be chilly. I do TRY to remember to preheat the floors with our portable heater...but I can't always promise they will be up to a good temperature. Because of the way the heating system was set up, the registers are at the front of the shop so it can get overly warm up there, and still chilly in the back...there is not much we can do about this situation. The building is old and she has issues! ;)

The coldest spot in the shop is near the glass doors in the classroom area. If you naturally run cold, please don't sit on that side of the table. If there are no other seats, just let an employee know and we can move things around.

Dress in layers and if your feet get cold, wear socks (we can show ya how to knit some comfy socks)

Wear a sample. We have sweaters laying around, ask to wear one.

If you need the portable heater set up near you, please ask!

It's NEVER bitterly cold unless the furnace breaks...but if you are sitting still for hours and we are running around teaching and helping people...it will feel like VERY different temperatures!

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
