Announcements
Megaliths Bulky is a 3-color bulky-weight hat knit from the bottom up for 8 sizes. I used Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Bulky (100% wool, 137 yards/50 g) in Ciel, Honey, and Navy. The instructions are both written out and charted, plus I've got a helpful YouTube video for you on knitting stranded colorwork.
View Megaliths Bulky on Ravelry If you already purchased the Megaliths Hat on Ravelry and want to add Megaliths Bulky, just throw Megaliths Bulky in your cart. You'll get it for just $1 - no coupon code needed, and no expiration date. (Please note: this will only work if you previously purchased the Megaliths Hat - patterns downloaded for free or as gifts are not eligible.)
Donated $160 from the sales of Grow Your Own Way Hat and Mitts to FreeState Justice, a legal advocacy organization that seeks to improve the lives of low-income lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) Marylanders. Find the patterns in the KinoKnits.com/shop and in the Kino Knits Ravelry store.
Tembo Mittens pattern have been moved from the Kino Knits LoveCrafts store to a World Land Trust store - meaning all proceeds will go to that organization for roughly a month.
