Hola, ’tis I, Jac-Jac. Today, I bring forth to you a brand new colorwork pattern, which technically released earlier this week, but Big Obligations and Carpal Tunnel kept messing up my to-do list. You know, like how our yarn was featured in Leslie Anne Robinson’s debut book, Brioche Knitting for Beginners and Beyond, and I never seem to find enough time or spoons to blog about it. It be like that sometimes.

And yet, maybe it doesn’t have to be…

We know it’s your constitutional right to knit, but as you’re painfully aware Big Obligations, such as sleeping and going to work, are trying to take away your knitting time and there’s nothing you can do about it. Or is there? I’m Jacquline Rivera, and I’m here to sell you on a life-changing opportunity with the Great Old Ones. No longer will you have to fear for your precious knitting time, because we here at the National Eldritch Blast Association know that the only thing worse than no time to knit is someone interrupting your knitting time. The National Eldritch Blast Association endeavors to provide a pact with the Great Old Ones for every occasion. When you knit The Pact, you’ll gain more than the loss of your soul!

Just like we did with the Revivify Socks, you can purchased a PDF of The Pact Hat pattern from us and bundle it with the yarn. OR you can go the traditional route and purchase it through Ravelry. Links are provided below for either option.

This hat pattern is recommended for knitters who have experience with stranded colorwork, knitting in the round, and reading charts.

Because we’re only days away from my birthday, I figure what better gift than the present. And the present is filled with more things for you to knit! If you haven’t already swiped the pattern that started it all The Pact [mitts] or The Pact Cowl, I put those on sale too. Because why the hell not? We don’t have them listed on our site yet, so those links will take you to Ravelry. Don’t worry though. No coupon code is needed!

Seriously though, how great would it be to have the Mage Hand cantrip in real life though. I could use it to knit even though my left hand is out of commission!
