Forgive me if I’m starting to sound like a broken Forgive me if I’m starting to sound like a broken record here, but this pattern release is so very special to me. You may not know it, but I decided to take my knitting business full-time not long after Lauren dove into her first season of competitive racing in more than 20 years. Watching her pursue her dreams with such joy and dedication has helped me feel like I can do the same with mine. I think a lot of us around here have been in similar boats (no pun intended!). We reach our 30s or 40s, look around ourselves, feel generally satisfied with what we’ve done so far, but also have a lingering what if, a dream that we’ve set aside. And the thing is, even if you’ve told yourself it’s too late for your dream, odds are good it isn’t actually. You just won’t know for sure until you try. So this hat pattern is helping to make sure it’s not too late for Lauren’s dreams. Comment “15 Knots,” and I’ll send you a link to a blog post with all the info about how this works, where to get the pattern, how to source the yarn if you’d like some, and how to join the knit along. Who knows? Maybe you’ll even find encouragement to pursue your own dream, too.
Want to knit your own 15 Knots Hat and help the am Want to knit your own 15 Knots Hat and help the amazing @sailingmom2la28 go after her Olympic dreams at the same time? The pattern is out now on Ravelry and Etsy, and $2 from every sale for the first month go to supporting her campaign! The hat is knit from the top down with swirling cables that look like winds and currents on a map and four intersecting segments that look like a compass rose at the crown. It’s graded to four sizes, so there’s something for everyone. And @megsandco_yarn created a special colorway just for this release, too! The gorgeous hot pink is inspired by Lauren’s racing team, and you can get your own skein to knit a hat with the your friends. A portion of the sales from these special skeins will also be donated to the fundraising effort.
It’s finally here! The pattern for the 15 Knots Ha It’s finally here! The pattern for the 15 Knots Hat is now available, and I’m so excited to officially launch this fundraiser for @sailingmom2la28’s Olympic campaign. This has been such a fun collaboration with @megsandco_yarn, who did a deep dive on Lauren’s website and pulled the perfect hot pink from her branding. I’m obsessed with it. Want to join the fun? Comment “15 Knots” and I’ll send you a blog post with all the info for the different ways you can join this project.
I am having so much fun using up scraps and coming I am having so much fun using up scraps and coming up with new color combinations for these hats. As I go along, things are going to get ever more scrappy and colorful, which I think makes it all even more entertaining. So what do you think? Should I go with the first option or the second for my next hat?
