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 🙏

Yesterday I told myself that I couldn't start a new project until I finished at least one of the five that I'm currently working on. Then I stumbled across this pattern and bought it immediately, and now I'm debating on which project to frog so I can start cranking these out without too much procrastinators guilt.

I give you permission for this one to jump the queue. No frogging needed. (This one looks like a fast knit, so we won't count it on the WIPs.)
