As if my chair arse wasn’t big enough already, I’ll now be spending even more time sitting at my computer. I just signed-on as the knitting editor for CraftGossip.com. You know, ’cause I loves me the knitting and just can’t get enough of talking about it! 😉
Seriously though, I’m excited to be a part of such a great network of crafty scoop! Speaking of, if you’ve got any, spill it! You know my gig: knitting is all about community, so I want to promote your stuff by mentioning it when it’s appropriate. Designers, authors, publishers, artists, mag editors, etc–e-mail me with any exciting knit-news. Got a new book out? I might review it! Is your yarn-tastic sculpture exhibiting at a local museum? Do tell! Just discover how to spin yarn out of potting soil? Fantastic! Just give me the skinny at: gossip@vickiehowell.com, and I’ll post it if time/space/relevance all align.
I’ll be posting about 5 times a week over there, so stop on by!
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.
