In an odd coincidence, both my former and current sisters-in-law had babies on the same day. May 16th was new-cousin-palooza for my boys! We had already brought baby Sam some goodies when we went to his shower in Dallas last month, so that left Miss Manning Mae to be celebrated. In her honor, I knit a wee baby sun dress for her to wear to her first tea party. Since her mom Kristin was a one-time Austin Craft Mafia member, the yarn used was of course, Craft in color, Mafiosa. As of today, the pattern for the “Mae Day” dress is available for downloadable purchase! I hope your little lass enjoys donning her own version as much as I did designing this one!
Also up on my Shop page today, the “Bobbi” knit, snug shrug. This is a great piece to throw over a tank top on breezy evenings and is quick and easy to make.
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...

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.
