Knit a Gorgeous Slouchy Hat with This Free Pattern

lima slouchy hat knitting patternCraft blogs are a great place not only to find new patterns or projects designed by the blogger, but also to learn about projects they have made that came from other places. I definitely don’t do enough writing about that sort of thing, which is a shame because there are a lot of great patterns out there that I knit but don’t really talk about.

Over at All About Ami, Stephanie wrote about being smitten by the pattern on the yarn label for Lion Brand Touch of Alpaca. She knit the Lima Super Slouch Hat (registration required to download, or grab a ball at the store and read the ball band) for herself and made a scaled-down, less-slouchy version for her daughters.

Both of them are super cute and she looks amazing in that hat. Serious hat envy over here.

Check her post for all the details on the kids’ version and her pattern notes for the adult version as well.

Have you ever knit the pattern on the ball band? I’d love to hear about it!

Declutter and Get Set for the Season with the Get Organized Toolkit

One of my missions as a crafter is to encourage people to use what they have to make something great. Accumulating stash is fun, but at some point you realize that you have more than you can ever use, and that can be really overwhelming.

A couple of years ago I wrote a book called How to Declutter Your Craft Supplies, which is all about why it’s so hard to let go of stash and how to deal with it. This is something I still struggle with and I’m in the midst of cleaning out my office/studio yet again (seriously, how can I still have so much stuff when I’m not buying anything new?).

If you’re gearing up for spring cleaning (or fall cleaning!) you need to check out the Get Organized Toolkit, of which my book is a part. This collection of more than 60 ebooks, courses, guides and printables will help you organize your home, business, mind and life.

There are so many great products here, from decluttering guides to advice on how to organize your book collection, cleaning up your iPhone and dealing with mental clutter. You’ll learn all about minimalism, get a planner to help you stay on top of home maintenance and learn how to build a capsule wardrobe, among other things. It’s a great way to get a lot of helpful advice all at once to help you lead a more organized and peaceful life.

The bundle is on sale through March 29. You can read more about it on my blog or go here to buy. And if you have specific questions about decluttering craft supplies or using your stash I would love to hear them!
