Thanks to you, in 2020, we donated $4800 to BLM and voting rights efforts! Half of the amount went to Stacey Abrams Fair Fight 2020 and the other half went to the Neighborhood Fiber Company’s NFC Fund

Now it’s 2024, and both voting rights and the election are on the line once more, so it’s time to bring these out again, yes?

From now until September 30, if you purchase the Blue Wave Mitts, the proceeds from these mitts will be donated half and half again, to Democracy Docket, who’s been DOING THE WORK to protect voting rights everywhere, and Run For Something, begun by David Hogg (of Parkland FL) to promote young progressive candidates across the nation.

Both of these organizations are doing great work that will make us stronger in 2024, 2028 and beyond!


This skein of yarn was only supposed to be a test swatch of Karida’s new yarn, but once I started working with her Organic Studio Worsted, I couldn’t stop with just a small square…

Knit in a gorgeous and subtly shaded blue, these quick and easy mitts feature a long traveling cable that stands out nicely against the ribbed background. When worn, the cable opens up beautifully, allowing the detail and lines of the motif to shine.

Karida’s subtle color shifts are gorgeous for the simple, flowing lines - and if you needed an excuse to try a skein of the new Organic Studio Worsted, here it is! Just pick a color and I promise you won’t regret it.

Mitts shown in the Hollins Market colorway.
