Knitting Through It is a book filled with inspiring stores for “Times of Trouble”. This book has short stories and excerpts about knitting and how it has been, and continues to be used during Polictical agendas, War and poverty and heart warming stories of personal times of despair where knitting has lifted spirits, helped with rehabilitation and eased pain and anguish.

You do not have to be a knitter to enjoy this book, it has short chapters making it a perfect book to pick up during morning tea or a cup of coffee in the afternoon. It’s not only inspiring it’s educational and leaves you feeling the urge to pick up your knitting.

It will make you stop and appreciate all that you are giving to your knitting. It’s not just about yarn over and under it’s about lifting your hands, using your heart, focusing on the recipient, deep breathing, relaxation, calming your racing spirit and knitting an item out of love, hate, fear, happiness or pain.

Sitting down to knit will never be the same again…..

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.
