A Little Knitty

We have a few books that came in recently that we haven't carried before. I thought these would make for fun gifts, as you can give them to the yarn lover in your life and over the next year, they can pick out things to make...they could even be in for a HUGE challenge of knitting 1 a week!!   You can find these books in-store or online 52 Weeks of Accessories Crochet Crush 52 Weeks of Easy Knits 

You might think that skellies are only fun around Halloween...but we are having WAY too much fun with our skeleton to put it away now!! Skellie kits are now in stock and come with the skeleton, yarn, pattern and clear coffin! :)

With the cooler temperatures and some rainy days, my mind has turned to sweaters! I am so happy it’s cool enough to be wearing them again! My mind is all about knitting them, too, and I can’t seem to stop looking at patterns. My sweater pattern list has grown and I have to remind myself that sweaters take time to knit and I can’t knit them all this season! I should be thinking of holiday knits to give, but I can’t stop thinking about sweaters. I love sweaters and I love sweater season. Stranded colorwork sweaters seem to be my current obsession and I have seen some gorgeous patterns. My favorite pattern at the moment, and one I am determined to knit, is Ghali Sweater by Zanete Knits . It sells for about $9.50 on Ravelry and uses a sport weight yarn. I love the all-over colorwork on this beautiful pullover! I plan to use Queensland’s Patagonia Organic Merino to knit this. This yarn has quite a few lovely colors to choose from and I think will work great for colorwork. Cathedral by Ra...

We have teamed up with local project bag maker, Jo, to offer this awesome way of giving back!! Now through the end of November, we will place project bags on our front table (and gridwall) if you purchase a bag...we will donate $10 to a local food bank (we are planning on Federal Way Food Bank because we feel they are in the most need, but if we have enough we will divide among other food banks too!) We know by giving money, we increase the amount of food they will be able to give because of their purchasing power!! Together, we can make a difference in our community!

With the cooler weather, I'm rooting around my cedar chest...pulling out sweaters I nearly forgot about!!! And they are a little out of shape. Sure, I should have put them away at the end of the winter in pristine shape...but have you met me?? I fly by the seat of my pants!!! So now I'm getting all these cute sweaters in shape for Sweater Weather. This means laying them out flat and taking a gleener to them. What is a Gleener? A Gleener is a battery-free fabric shaver and lint brush used to remove pills, fuzz, lint, and pet hair from clothing, upholstery, and other textiles. The larger version features three interchangeable, fabric-safe edges for different material types and a built-in lint brush for a finishing touch. It is a reusable and sustainable alternative to motorized shavers. There is also an "on the go" version and a new sweater shaped version that is perfect for storing in my cedar chest so I don't lose it each season!! You can see my before and after h...

I don't think I have EVER been this excited for a product to show up!!!!!!! I ordered this many months ago and have been patiently waiting for them to arrive!!!! What are they??? THEY ARE SMALL CIRCUMFERENCE INTERCHANGABLE KNITTING NEEDLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES I SCREAMED THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Little Knitty has brought in a few new yarns into the shop recently that I am so excited to tell you about! Juniper Moon’s Rambouillet yarn is so squishably soft. It’s $25 per 100g skein and is a DK weight Rambouillet, which is a type of Merino wool. It is next-to-the-skin soft, very lofty, and very warm.  Jen made a stunning cable hat ( Ponderosa Hat ) with it, and I decided to try it in a stranded colorwork hat.  I made Love Autumn Hat by Monika Anna , $5.75 on Ravelry. It came out beautifully and I love how soft it feels on my head. But I must admit, Jen’s cable hat is even better for this yarn. There’s just something about a squishy cable hat that just makes you want to wear it all day! I feel like this yarn is meant for cables! I know I will be making myself a cable hat with this next - or maybe a cabled sweater! This yarn has quickly become one of my new favorites. This next yarn is one I have been having so much fun with! This yarn can’t be used for everything, but wh...

What's On My Needles? Sometimes it's nice to share what is currently on my needles, so I'm going to share them in this article. Hopefully it will give you a bit of inspiration for your next project. I am super close to finishing The Wharf Street Vest by Elizabeth Smith Knits. This is a sporty vest to throw on over a t-shirt or blouse with jeans and will feel so good with the Fall weather. The pattern suggests Cumulus by Juniper Moon Farm. I chose the smokey blue called, Oxford. Cumulus is so soft and the box stitch pattern makes a nice textured pattern. Interestingly, the pattern is named after the famous cobblestoned "Wharf Street" in Portland, Maine. Hopefully you will see me wearing this in the shop soon.  I'm also working on a hat, called Bunny Wishes Hat by Sarah L. Kelly from Grey Owl Knits . The sweet bunnies around the hat blowing dandelion fluff are so cute. I am using two colors of fingering weight Shetland Lite organic Shetland wool by ...

Where In The World Is Kris?🌎 Hola from Lisbon, Portugal! Here I am on a another adventure with my husband seeing the sites and checking out yarn shops! Today we visited a sweet yarn shop called, “Retrosaria R. Pomar”. That is quite a mouthful of a name compared to “A Little Knitty”, right!  What an elegant shop this is with antique cabinets and dressers overflowing with Portuguese yarns! Check out this cute sardine!    Lisbon offers lots of seafood and especially sardines that are cooked in every way imaginable. Believe it or it they are quite tasty. The pattern to make this cute fish is, “Sardine” by Barbara Ceiga and is $4.92. There are many other sardine themed patterns on Ravelry so check them out. I’m off to hike to a castle so ciao for now!

We are so excited that we got our shipment of Marie Greene's latest book!! 30 Clever One-Skein Patterns Clear your yarn stash by knitting these ultra-fast, heirloom-quality patterns using only one skein! Marie Greene, knitwear designer extraordinaire and bestselling author, is sharing her best-kept secrets for small scale designs. Maybe it was a limited-edition colorway from an indie dyer, a gorgeously textured yarn you discovered at a market, or a killer deal you couldn’t pass up―every knitter ends up with a hodge podge of special single skeins, but not many knitting patterns online are designed for such little yarn. Marie Greene has the solution. Single-skein patterns featuring lighter-weight yarns are particularly coveted, so of course Marie has a full chapter devoted to them. What’s even better is that single-skein patterns knit up super-fast, making them ideal for last-minute gifts! Choose from designs like the DK weight Double Moss Texting Mittens or sport weight Fisherman’s ...
