Knit in One - Marie Greene's newest book!

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 Rib Beanie to complete in a weekend! Use a treasured hand-dyed skein for the Simple Ribbed Socks or a Honeycomb Hat to keep you and your family warm and cozy―without getting stuck on the body or sleeves of a larger project. With Marie’s easy-to-follow, fan-favorite instruction and timeless design details, you won’t believe the possibilities that might unravel from only one ball of yarn!

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!

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...
