🎉 They’re here! 🎉… Well, some of them are 🤪 My Confetti Collection of handknit hats are now live on Etsy. (The Adult sizes at least - kids and baby coming soon)

💗 These hats were knit in preparation for a fall market that I had planned to do. Sadly, life got a little too busy and I was unable to attend. Therefore, you now have a chance to get your hands on these one of a kind hand, knit hats.

There are only a handful of them left in the shop and each one is one of a kind. They feature super soft wool from @woolandthegang fun slub yarn from @summercampfibers and a fluffy pom from @lifeslittlethingsco and the pattern is by a maker friend @woollybear_knits

🎁 A collection of makers, all put together into one cozy, perfectly giftable hat. 💗🎄

Grab one now before they sell out! These will not return. If you are looking for a child or baby size, send me a message as I have three of each that still need to be listed on Etsy.

Pattern: Loppet Beanie @woollybear_knits
Yarn: @woolandthegang @summercampfibers
Pom: @lifeslittlethingsco

Day 3 of Advent and I can finally share a color photo of the Noelle Cowl!! 💕

Make sure to use #noellecowl in your posts so I can share your progress photos!

Pattern: Noelle Cowl
Yarn: @summercampfibers

✨Happy first day of Advent! ✨ My new Noelle Co

✨Happy first day of Advent! ✨ My new Noelle Cowl pattern is now live and is 50% off along with all of my other patterns for today only! 🎉

🎉SPOILER ALERT! Swipe to see the @summercampfibers advent color for today.

All photos for the Noelle Cowl will be in black-and-white until advent colors are revealed, so not to spoil the rest of the surprise.

🌈 Think of it as Dorothy still in Kansas then she walks through the door to Oz and everything is in color. (Have you seen the Wicked Good version of this cowl? - look back at my last post for details.)

This pattern is similar to the Betty Cowl in shape and design. It features in all over stranded color work pattern that uses a different color, mini skein per chart repeat. The chart repeats are very easy to knit one per day.

🎄 Join along in the fun this December! If you don’t have an advent to knit simply grab 16 mini skeins or scraps of yarn (17 yds each) and one new color per day for 16 days. Keep an eye out on day 16 when a surprise complementary pattern will drop for the remainder of the month!

Who is excited?!!!

Pattern: Noelle Cowl (Now available on Ravelry for 50% off today only!
Yarn: @summercampfibers

✨Eeeek!!! The Wicked Good Collection by @summercampfibers is here!!! 🎉💕 (Discount code below)

Story time … last weekend Katie with Summer Camp Fibers messaged me that she had sent out all of her advent boxes and now didn’t have anything to do for the holiday.

I told her how I had just seen the movie Wicked with my girls the day before and couldn’t stop thinking about how the pink and green were so Summer Camp Fibers colors. 💗💚

I sent her an inspiration picture and within hours, she sent me a photo of the second picture in this post. Nailed it!

Our excitement grew as she pulled together the rest of the collection and we could not wait to get it out to you! This limited addition collection features eight different pink and green colors, a special @the_knit_kit and stitch markers. ✨💕

As always, you can grab it all for 10% off using my code WHIMSYNORTH.

This Sunday I will be releasing a new cowl pattern that coordinates perfect with this collection. Stay tuned! Make sure to grab your yarn and goodies before they sell out! 💚💕
