Want to craft some catharsis? Try the Dumpster Fire 2020 pattern! (KinoKnits.com link) (Ravelry link) Kino Knits is hosting a Dumpster Fire 2020 KAL from October 24 to November 7, 2020! Join the Kino Knits Ravelry Group for some cathartic crafting and a chance to win prizes.
I have a pattern in the upcoming Operation Sock Drawer book! Meta socks (Ravelry link), made to use up scraps. The book also includes a technique so you don’t have to weave in ends at the ends.
The Kino Knits E-Book (Ravelry link) (Payhip link) is a collection of five hats in varied weights, all written for eight sizes from preemie to giant adult. Hats will be released on a staggered basis. When you buy the collection, new patterns will automatically add to your Ravelry library or Payhip downloads on the following schedule:
July 25: Elevate (fingering weight) (Kino Knit shop link) (Ravelry link) (Payhip link)
August 15: Extemporize (sport weight) (Kino Knit shop link) (Ravelry link) (Payhip link)
September 12: Elicit (DK weight) (Kino Knit shop link) (Ravelry link) (Payhip link)
October 24: Elucidate (worsted weight)
November 14: Enunciate (aran weight)
The entire E-Book collection is $9 with KinoKnits.com, Ravelry, or Payhip coupon code EXTRA - but the price will go up by $2 with the release of each hat. Click here to apply the Ravelry coupon code automatically.
