Stephen West MKAL

Yup, we are doing this again!!! Westknits MKAL has a hold over me that I just cannot quit! ;) Even though my color choice and pattern last year was NOT my jam...I'm very intrigued by the gradients he is using this year. So this cat is VERY curious! ;)

If you want to join in the fun, we will have a Facebook Group again this year to chat and share and root each other on!!!

If you have some yarns from stash that you want to use this year, go ahead and bring them in to find those colors you need to fill the gaps! We highly recommend locally dyed, Sweet Georgia, Heritage and Malabrigo Ultimate Sock!! We will have a restock of Variations very shortly...which is a great tonal fingering weight option!! We are happy to help!!

We can also put together a pairing for you...you tell us the color family...we will buzz around the shop and show you some options!

If you want to join in the fun, join our FB group HERE and purchase the pattern HERE

If you aren't QUITE ready to dive in yet...that is ok! Feel free and join our FB group and watch as the magic unfolds and you can decide to jump in at any time! Or wait until the end and cast it on after the last clue is released...we understand not everyone is up for a mystery of this magnitude!

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

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

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...
