Want to be supportive of the BIPOC knitting, crochet and craft community? Put your money where your mouth is. Here’s a work-in-progress **list of BIPOC designers and business owners to shop from, hire to speak at your next conference, interview for your podcasts, or commission to design for your publication.
*Note: Listings are all at least 50% BIPOC owned and/or operated. All have active e-commerce shops or design portfolios.
**This list is in no way complete. Please help me to make it as comprehensive as possible by submitting more BIPOC companies to add to the list by e-mailing submissions@vickiehowell.com
Hi, my name is Xiomara Diaz and I will like to know if there is an utube tutorial for Box #14 Shapes Shawlettes. I am a beginner in crochet and I got a 3 months subscription as a gift from my daughter. I need help with the edging. Thanks,
Julie Castle

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.
