Crafting for Charities

We recently had a few inquiries about charities we knit/crochet for and I wanted to list them here! We collect YEAR ROUND for all of these charities, but only deliver every quarter or so and the hats/scarves only in the cooler weather months! Knit the Rainbow - https://www.knittherainbow.org/ - Hats, Scarves, anything to keep people warm. This charity distributes the hand knit/crochet items to LGBTQ youth in NYC but they are working to expand and we are hoping to be part of the push to expand to Seattle. We collect items year round and mail to NYC as needed. We also collect hats year round for our local food banks!  Knitted Knockers -  https://www.knittedknockers.org/ - We collect year round and bring to the local oncology unit as needed! In the past we have teamed up with local schools, but currently we aren't paired with one. However, we collect child sized hats and handmade items and take them to our local food bank.

New Inventory Alert - Books!

We have a few books that came in recently that we haven't carried before.

Hilde's Corner

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...
