Happy Friday, everyone! You may have read my Tweets and posts about working on my new online shop over the past couple of weeks–well, I’m proud to announce that it is now officially open for business!
I’ve teamed up with Open Sky, this great new company that connects shoppers with experts (in pretty much every genre imaginable) to offer up the scoop on what products we really use to do the jobs we’re all so passionate about. Want to know which mulch rake rocks? Try Jean & Ann’s Good Enough Gardening shop! Need a tuner for your new Fender Jaguar bass, but not sure which one to get? Justin Sandercoe can help! Looking for the perfect, eco-chic bag to compliment your wardrobe? She Sez’s Linda Grasso’s got you covered! You get the idea.
I of course, will be there for your knitting, crochet, sewing and crafting needs. Right now there are about a dozen products in my shop (including some of my own books), but my goal is for it to soon be bursting at its virtual seams with loads of must-have basics, the coolest mainstream craft supplies and my favorite stuff from the many brilliant, indie designers out there! I’m in the process of searching out said crafty goodness so if there’s something you’d like me to check out, please just post ’em in the comments section here.
In the meantime, please have a look at the great stuff I’ve chosen so far as well as the related blog posts, videos and photos that I’ve compiled for some of my shop’s products (I’m working on doing it for all). For you knitter’s out there, you’ve got to check out The Knit Kit, one of the handiest little tools I’ve ever seen. Embroiderers, make sure to nab Jenny Hart’s Bib Kit–it’s so freakin’ cute! Oh, and every stitcher needs to have the Clover tapestry needles with the curved tip–I couldn’t craft without them!
As a special grand opening gift to you, I’m offering 10% off of any product in ANY Open Sky shop (not just mine), for this weekend only! Just use the code Vickie1009 at checkout, BEFORE MIDNIGHT on Sunday. Wait, did I mention that there’s also free shipping?
YARNYAY! FALL BOX REVEAL:
Every season, YarnYAY! presents a new box for knitters who are ready to dive into a more in-depth project than our regular monthly boxes. For Autumn, we've gone mad for plaid, and are thrilled to have partnered with FOUR other (besides mine) woman-owned, small businesses. (Tap to see.)
We're shipping these box beauties on Tuesday 10/17 and only have a limited amount. Reserve yours today, in whatever palette speaks to you, and we'll get it to you ASAP. Link in @vickiehowell bio, or visit yarnyay.com...
Happy FriYAY! the 13th, Ghouls and Gourds! To celebrate we're giving you 13% OFF YarnYAY's spookiest kits and patterns. USE code: FRIYAYTHE13TH. Spooky sale item collecting link in @vickiehowell bio
FREE Pattern 🚨 Alert: The Ginger Spice Bi-Color Brioche Scarf! We couldn't resist whipping up this beauty out of the YarnYAY! October featured yarn @thefibrecompany &Make Aran (in colors Spill the Tea and Mon Ami). Make it to match either pair of the mitt patterns that come with our October Box, or make it on its own. You do you!
This pattern comes free with the purchase of &Make Aran yarn from our shop. Add the pattern to your cart, and the discount will appear at checkout. Who's feeling spicy? yarnyay.com (link in @vickiehowell bio).
The Forager wrist warmers by @hellogavriella (and featured in the YarnYAY! October Box) might be my favorite crocheted mitt pattern we've ever included in one of our monthly boxes. The wool/alpaca blend of @thefibrecompany &Make Aran yarn is the perfect medium for textured linen stitches. Oh, and the peek-a-boo detailing at the top-edges, is *chef's kiss"!
Treat yourself to the October Box to get this pattern (plus THREE more!), yarn, and a couple more awesomely autumnal items. Link in @vickiehowell bio (or go to yarnyay.com) to learn more.
