Knit Doll Pattern

I finally did it!  I designed a quick, cute (if I do say so myself) doll pattern that I can easily customize into different characters/themes/requests.  First up had to be a super hero as per my son's request.  

So what do you think?  I think I might translate my scribbles and doodles into some sort of recognizable pattern and put it on Ravelry soon.  

Super T was knit in worsted weight yarn and stands roughly 13 inches tall.  It is knit from the feet up and doesn't take that much time...really.  This little guy was based on one of the simple doll sketches I designed recently and my son picked the colors he wanted for the test knit.  I have a ton of ideas I'm excited about executing!  I just have a few kinks to work out of the pattern, but overall I'm happy!  

Let me know what you think, if you'd like to see this pattern come to Ravelry, share some ideas for characters that I should make...Jump into the comments! 

Lots of New Things

I just remembered today that I haven't taken time to update this blog in ages!  I have been busy moving yet again (ugh!) and designing plenty of new cross stitch charts for all of our entertainment.

I will be updating the current listings in my shop so that all the patterns will be instantly available after purchase.  Also, keep checking back because I will soon be adding a new tab for free cross stitch designs.

I'm currently hooking a set of three-dimensional, stuffed Pacman and ghosts that will probably make their way to the shop along with other geeky knit softies.

Cute Crochet Monkey--SOLD

We've just added this adorable crocheted monkey to our Etsy shop!  He stands just 7.25" tall, is filled with hypoallergenic toy stuffing, and has 9mm safety eyes.  Super cute and perfect for the child or child-at-heart in your life.

Winter Warm-Up

I am pleased to announce that I just added a beautiful cowl--Snow & Ice--to our Etsy store.  Super chunky, hand knit and ribbed, this cowl can be worn multiple ways and will keep you nice and toasty.  I'm thinking we should cast on a slightly smaller, pink, purple and cream version next.  Let me know what you think.

Look for better lighting in the future.  If you would like to make this cowl for yourself, you can download the free pattern here.

A Little Community

So, here at Kanitted, we love the show Community.  It's always funny and different, and it has a great cast.  So when I saw the episode "Digital Estate Planning", I knew we had to make a cross stitch chart of all the adorable 8-bit versions of our favorite cast.  I just finished charting this yesterday, but I was so excited when I finished it that it's already in the shop!  Without any further ado, I present the cutest video game characters since Pikachu:

These just make me want to pinch some digital cheeks!  I hope you like them as much as we do.  Check back soon for our upcoming Invader Zim charts.
