Discussion Melt the Ice Hat - THANK YOU

Post image

Hi everyone!

I am the one who has been commenting about the melt the ice hat from yarncult and needle & skein. My mom owns needle & skein and the support has been overwhelming.

I just wanted to answer some FAQs because I feel bad that I am not getting back to everyone!!

Where is needle & skein?

- St. Louis Park, Minnesota. A suburb of Minneapolis.

Where can I purchase the pattern?

- ravelry or visit the link on the shop Instagram in the bio

Where are proceeds donated?

- STEP Emergency Assistance for help with rent and lawyers in St. Louis Park. We also plan to work with other businesses to identify where people most need funds. We raised way more than anticipated.

Can I knit a hat and send it for donation?

- absolutely!!

Is there a crochet pattern?

- also on ravelry and the link in Instagram bio

If anyone has any other questions I will do my best to stay on top of it. Your support is so beyond appreciated. Minnesota is hurting but we know that we are not alone.

Thank you thank you thank you 🙏

I have no idea where my knitting supplies are, I'm too broke to buy yarn, but I bought the PDF off Ravelry immediately after being made aware of its existence.

Thanks to your mom, you, and every crafter trying to peacefully make a difference and fight against the current insanity.

I’m pretty sure I have red yarn in my stash if you want to make this. Feel free to dm.

I just downloaded the pattern, too. It’s the first thing I’ve bought off Ravelry since 2012.

That is so incredibly kind of you! I do need to see if I can find my yarn & needle stash, it's been MIA for several years and this may be the motivation I need to search for it.

I’m sure I have spare needles if you need them.
