Road Trip Trunk Show

Can you even imagine a road trip without a stitch project? I mean, what would we do with our hands?

My Road Trip Sock Yarns are inspired by the thrill of a good road trip adventure. Themes are based on destinations, tourist attractions, local, and regional history. Yarn fun for every stitcher looking to capture the excitement of their road trip within their project. And, keeping hands busy along the route.

Road Trip Sock Yarn dye style is a little different than others. In addition to utilizing more environmentally friendly dye practices, these yarns are dyed in a two-step process. All yarns are saturated with a custom tonal before diving into a bath of mega speckles. This process allows for depth of colors from whites, lights, bold darks, and an array of color pops in between. These skeins are all rarely revisited small batches, reflecting upon the unique experiences of each road trip.

Just when you thought a collection couldn’t get more fun, let me tell you about my Herd of Cats yarns. What are we doing between Road Trips? Stitching at home, of course. Many of us share our stitch time with our favorite furry friend.

Adoptable cats and dogs from Denver Dumb Friends League (DDFL) inspire these yarns. A beautiful Meow Mélange and Pupper Patchwork of tonals representing every combination of kitty and puppy fur coats you can imagine. Plus, kitty eye colors to match.

These yarns are intended for those of us who share a special place in our hearts for our furry companions. To help these inspiring cats and dogs find their forever homes, ten percent of the profits from these yarn sales is donated to Denver Dumb Friends League.

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!

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 eliminates the purl stitches looking a little funky (if you know, you know). We decreased by 25% of the stitches about halfway through the cowl to allow the top of the cowl to be a little closer to the neck and the bottom spread over your shoulders if you want to wear it that way! We gave you little check boxes to check off as you complete repeats. **PATTERN** Using Main Color, CO92, place stitch marker and join in the round Round 1: (K2, P2) Repeat parentheses all the way around Repeat Round 1 six more times ⃞ ⃞...
