Have you ever crafted for charity? In this episode of the podcast, we feature charities that can use your handmade items! “Click for Babies” provides hospitals with purple hats to help protect infants. “Knitted Knockers” provides bra inserts to women who have undergone mastectomies. Podcast listeners highlight ways they contribute to non-profit organizations, and Knit Picks’ own Stacey talks about “Helping Hands: Made with Love, Given with Heart”, our recent book about charity crafting. Tune in to the podcast, and be inspired!

Summer is my favorite time to work on dye projects and today is the last day to save 30% on our range of dyes for natural fibers!

Certainly one of our favorite fibers in recent months has been the Comfy Worsted Heather Special Reserve yarns.

It’s the heathered colors that have us swooning, and now that they’re part of the Summer Yarn Sale, it’s even harder to resist stocking up on some more. Unfortunately, when they’re gone, they’re gone! Here’s two projects we’ve made in Comfy Heathers recently, as well as one suggestion – all for small people!
