It’s the holiday season, which means it’s a good time for giving! This year, I teamed up with Knitter’s Pride and Knit Pro (their German equivalent) to design a free charity knitting pattern, the Triangle Rib Baby Hat. Now through January 5, Knitter’s Pride & Knit Pro are hosting a charity knit along with prizes to encourage folks to donate handmade items to those in need. More details and the free pattern are below!

About the charity knit & crochet along

Knitter’s Pride just kicked off their Fall/Winter Charity KCAL (knit & crochet along), and the Triangle Rib Baby Hat was designed for it. Since this is a KCAL for charity, you can of course knit the Triangle Rib Baby Hat or you can knit or crochet a different pattern you’ve been eager to try! Here’s more on the KCAL from Knitter’s Pride:

Fall/Winter Charity KCAL with Knitter’s Pride

If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually k If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually knitting from one sweater into another here, no big deal. (What can I say, I lost a game of yarn chicken. 😂) I almost didn’t post this because I was worried someone might have some nonsense to say about my ability to knit. Then I remembered I can’t care about that. Silly me, I almost forgot myself!

Speaking of which, dang it’s good to have my mental health back consistently after the past couple of years. The anxious parts of my personality are just chilling, rather than constantly screaming that my work isn’t good enough to share. The confident parts of me that matter have me creating (and starting to share my creations & process with strangers and friends) again!

Anybody else feel like they are beginning to return to themselves, so to speak, this spring?
I’m feeling better, & all my [big, bad bug] proj I’m feeling better, & all my [big, bad bug] project needs is a couple of short sleeves! I’ll be finishing this sweater *just* before it gets too warm to wear, but isn’t that always how it goes? 🫠🧶
