Jen's Corner - More of the same

I have been a little obsessed with the Hoodola pattern by Laura Nelkin...and at the same time Kris was noticing more talk of hooded things around the shop...so of course we both wanted to chat about them!!!!


First of all, the pattern that started my obsession!!



Hoodola is not only a well written pattern, but has great video support. This would be great with locally dyed DK yarn, Yarn Citizen Harmony DK, Malabrigo Rios (ya, rios is worsted, but I think it would work just dandy!). We are bringing in Kathmandu DK in a couple weeks and that yarn would ROCK in this pattern!!!!


The whole ALK team went OOOH when this next pattern came up in the search...


This is My Jose Hood by Norgard Knitter and would be ideal in Cozy Alpaca. The pattern is about $8 on Ravelry. Pretty sure this will be cast onto my needles by the time you read the newsletter! :)

Have you been bitten by the hooded scarf/cowl trend???

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...
