Good morning lovely knitters! Look at that date - we made it through January! Phew! That was a PRETTY COLD bout for the end of it! I hope you all stayed warm and are happily knitting away....red resistance hats, perhaps?!
I doubt you could miss it, but just in case - we're all knitting Melt the Ice Resistance Hats! Here is a link to loads of different patterns, including crochet ones!
We got a boatload of red yarn in this week. I don't know how long this batch will hold out, but for today, we've got a LOT! Here are a few that we have lots of:
And I dyed some Maraschino Kraken and Velvet this week that should JUST be dry today!
We're also collecting hats to auction off to support Stand with Minnesota! We've got the first few up already and many more to come! If you can make an extra for the auction, we'd REALLY appreciate it! Also - if you can share those with your non-knitting friends, that helps too!
I also have just a nice little good news item. So, our facebook post about this exploded - over 180K views. I've been trying to keep up with the comments to make sure nothing icky was going on and I have to tell you - there has only been ONE. ONE in 180K views! To me, that means people are starting to finally get how bad this is and are ready for a change!! Yay!
If you don't already, make sure you follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and/or Bluesky! So, if you have already fled the others, follow us there! We'd love to see you!
