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!

Let’s talk about how our Craft — knitting, crochet, or otherwise — helps us cope with things like chronic physical or mental health issues.
Make sure to find some time this weekend to care for yourself! 👊🏼💗

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!

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! 🤩

I recommend this movie as well. It is a wonderful story about love and tolerance and understanding.
I LOVE this movie. A lesson in humanity for sure.
I also love this movie, well done and an excellent message. Too funny about “Lars & The real purl”…lmao at that one!
I had no clue he’s a knitter. That makes me like him even more!
I really need to see that movie, but I never made it to the theater. Thanks for reminding me to add it to my must rent list.
i couldn’t agree more. i just loved this movie.
“Lars & The Real Purl”
That’s hilarious!
How nice that he’s a knitter! I loved this movie too, such a great story. Thanks for sharing!
In the Netflix queue! Thanks for the suggestion!
yay, i can order it from my cable box!
“Lars and the real purl”
*CRINCH* followed by the loony toons theme in my head. It might be time to write…
Vickie Howell’s Big Book of a 1001 Knitting Jokes and Puns.
I just learned about this movie last week. It will be a definite rent … but knowing he is a knitter, well then… a most definite rent!
I love that you loved it too! I keep telling everyone to watch it. It was the most touching amazing story. I cried and the ladies that came to ‘sit’…”it’s what we do”. Yeah for the blog time for this one!
Dave: I’d totally write that book in a second! I can see the pitch now, though. So, ummm, the production cost would be low because you’d only need to print 1 copy…for me.
