Polka Dot Sheep is generously offering a 15% discount on their Stumptown DK until February 10, using code cablelove.

The Gellatly Nut Farm, located on the west side of Okanagan Lake, is one of the oldest working nut farms in Canada. The farm is home to over 800 nut trees and shrubs, including the beloved heartnut, named for its production of a nut that looks, both inside and out, like a heart.

This hat is knit bottom up with an all-around heartnut inspired cable. Pattern includes sizes for the whole family and a slouchy or beanie version.
