Knit the New Year!
I know it’s cliché, but the older I get the faster the years go and 2015 was no exception. I feel like I was just welcoming the last year, but it’s already time to ring in the next! I’m looking…

Deck Your Gifts with Yarn!
We are days away from handing over our handmade holiday gifts. Just because we’ve finished knitting and crocheting these, though doesn’t mean we’re done with yarn play. Adding a little fiber-y touch to the packaging of presents makes for a…

This Way, That Way Cowl
It’s been unseasonably hot here in Austin, TX lately, which is kind of a bummer when you’re wanting to be in the wintery spirit. I was thrilled this weekend though, when a momentary shiver made it’s way through our city….

Every month in my club, we focus on a new, trend-inspired theme that we distill down to a few related skills for knitters and crocheters. From there, I teach three, live (and recorded) skill-building, mini-workshops (under an hour each) that include small projects meant to represent the manifestation of those learned skills. Not bad for only $12, eh?
May`s theme is 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆, an exploration of the lasting power of the patchwork trend in fashion and home decor. The first session of the month focused on hexagons—or more specifically, hexipuffs—and the "practice projects" are 𝗛𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗽𝘂𝗳𝗳 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. They`re pretty adorable, if I do say so myself. 😉

Today (5/7) is the LAST day to use my exclusive link to purchase Knit Collage KAL kits! Sales closed to the public at the end of last month, but my buddy Amy (KC owner) did me a solid by giving my followers an extra week to join. Link in @vickiehowell bio.
My kit arrived! I’ve never participated in a KAL before (I’m usually on the hosting/teaching side of make-along), so I’m really looking forward to it. I’m making the Everyday Yay Cardigan with embroidered details. Isn’t she pretty? 🤩 💗
It would be fun if you’d join me — hope to KAL with you soon!

This month’s Stitchwell Social Club theme is Patchwork Party, so we’re exploring and appreciating the many forms that patchwork comes in, and translating it into knitting and crochet. Our first mini-workshop combines both the quilted puffs and hexagon motifs producing hexipuffs. This is a great use for those sock and shawl yarn scraps!
Join me tomorrow at 11amCT for the live broadcast (or watch the recording later) on Stitchwell Social Club. Learn more at vickiehowell.com/stitchwellsocialclub (link in @vickiehowell bio) #hexipuffs #knittingclub #crochetclub
