It’s my birthday again and since last year’s HUGE book giveaway seemed to be so enjoyed by all you crafty types out there, I decided to make it an annual thing. Thanks to the generosity of Lark Books, I’m pleased to announce the “36 for my 36th” gift-for-you, bookstravaganza!
All you need to do is e-mail contests@vickiehowell.com by NOVEMBER 28th with the following info: YOUR NAME, MAILING ADDRESS (so I know where to send the book, if you win), and TOP 3 BOOK CHOICES from the below list. I’ll do my best to give winners a book that you actually want. But hey, if you don’t dig your prize, craft books make great holiday gifts!
What a lovely thing for you to do on YOUR birthday. Hope you have the loveliest of days with your family. 🙂 I own all of your awesome books (I ADORE Aware Knits and want to make everything in it!!!), so my alternate top 3 choices are: Eco-Craft, Year of the Cookie, and Handmade Paper From Naturals. Again, have the best of birthdays. 🙂 Theresa
my top three book choices: Pop Goes Crochet, by me 2 Copies!! The Complete Guide to Retro Crafts, by Suzie Millions Granny Squares Now, by Susan Cotrell
Happy Birthday!Vickie. Thank you for your generous sharing. So many wonderful books to choose from but I would love Pop Goes Crochet or Aware Knits or Granny Squares Now. I did the email, too.

Cheers to you on your birthday! Mine is just a few weeks away!
I’d be happy to recieve any book from you, but if I get to choose
1. Invasion of the Plush Monsters 2. Absolutely A-Line 3. Natural Remodeling
I’ve legit been waiting for @ikeausa to have this glass case in-stock since mid pandemic. I wanted a happy little place for projects of YarnYAY! Past to live. I love a knitwear stack. 😍 It’s the little things, people!
(Oh, and patterns for every thing in this curio are available in my shop at YarnYAY.com ✔️)...
Today's the day we kick off the Crochet-along for the @pompommag Overprint Bag, in partnership with designer @juliamadill
We've put together Montoya Merino Light kits in my YarnYAY! shop, but no matter which yarn you use (the called-for yarn is rad, but a little harder to get here in the states -- see Julia's great post about yarn substitutions), we'd love for you to make yours along with us!
Psst...YarnYAYers get a special 20% off the digital issue pf Pom Pom. See our kit page (tap or go to yarnyay.com) for details!
Join the YarnYAY! Facebook Group and/OR Ravelry Group to follow along. Hope to see you there!
The March YarnYAY! Box crochet project is 𝘍𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘵, a crochet, boomerang shawlette. The shape is more commonly seen in knitted pieces, but I love it because if you want the piece to be larger, you just keep working it in the established pattern.
𝘍𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘵 is worked with a sweet, as-to-go edging and optional, appliquéd, chain-florets. I designed it to be worn as shown here, scarf-style, but with the option to go full-shawl. You do you!
𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗼𝘆𝗮 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 — 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗝𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿 — 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗬𝗔𝗬! 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗕𝗼𝘅 (𝘁𝗮𝗽, 𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗶𝗼, 𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗬𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗬𝗔𝗬.𝗰𝗼𝗺)
MODEL FUN FACT:
The gorgeous human modeling this shawlette, Kat Roberts, was the main featured young woman (swipe to see) in the infamous 1992, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog video “Nothing But a G Thang”. That video didn’t age well, but man, she sure did! 🤩
