A Darn Pretty Drawing For A Darn Good Cause!

by

Each year The Compass School, an independent school for grades 7-12 in Southern Vermont, takes its Junior class on a two week service trip to South America. Every student goes, whether the family can afford the trip or not. And every student performs valuable service work in the communities they visit!

To help them raise much needed funds this year (every student gets to go, whether the families can afford the trip or not), we have donated a 5 inch set, US 4 through US 11 (yes, 11!) This set is crafted from an as-yet-unavailable pattern, Tortoise, and comes with four cables, four stops, and a russet case signed by Tom – Set #1200!

To support this amazing program at this amazing school, tickets can be purchased below.  Tickets are $1 each, 11 for $10, 25 for $20, 60 for $50, or 130 tickets for $100.  For the knitter who loves to support student adventure and stellar educational experiences while increasing the odds, $250 will provide that knitter with a whopping 350 tickets!  Go HERE

We’ll chart progress on here and in the Heads Up! DP Drawing! thread in the DyakCraft group on Ravelry, so check back often over the next two weeks to see how the students are doing. Drawing date is April 30!

Knits to Make for Your Labubu

Maybe it’s not your Labubu, but if you’ve ever looked at one of those creepy cute dolls and thought “what that thing needs is a sweater,” you’ve come to the right place. These Labubu knitting patterns are super cute and easy to make whatever your skill level. 

If you want to keep it super basic, there’s this Labubu sweater from flourish AND fiber. It uses sock yarn and is worked from the top down in the round with a bit of ribbing on the edges but otherwise in stockinette stitch. It says it’s meant to fit all current regular Labubu plush pendants. 

Another cute pendant project is the Bubu Cardi by Ginko B. This free Ravelry download uses fingering weight yarn and only uses about 35 yards of yarn, so it’s a perfect scrap knitting project. 

Give your Labubu some springtime flair with this sweet little dress pattern by About Yarn. It’s for a 6.5 inch/17 cm doll and is worked in the round using DK weight yarn. 

Or get them ready for cooler weather with this cute beanie from Stephanie Connolly. Available as a free Ravelry download, this pattern uses DK weight yarn and has a hole in the top for Labubu’s ears and pendant to pull through. 

If you want a more whimsical look, try the Labubu headdress by Shino Craft. This one uses sport weight yarn and makes your critter look like a flower. You can buy it on Ravelry.

Add a touch of colorwork with this adorable heart sweat for a Labubu. This pattern is from kelmadeSG and uses fingering or DK weight yarn (maybe depending on what size doll you have?) and is worked flat in pieces. 

Shirley Durmaz made this cute hoodie for a Labubu with two strands of fingering weight yarn (or you could use a DK weight). It’s available on Ravelry.

If your Labubu fan is also a Taylor Swift fan, you’ll want to knit the free Labubu V Neck Cardigan, inspired by Taylor’s Folklore sweater. It uses fingering weight yarn and you can find it on Ravelry.
