Think it’s too late to consider crochet for your kiddos’ Halloween costume? No way! My Fox hat featured in the Holiday issue of Knit Simple Magazine is made with double strands of Sheep(ish) yarn, and a large hook, which means…
A few years back I was in New York at an author’s, group signing event to promote my book, AwareKnits. My table was right next to Stephanie Pearl-McPhee’s (aka Yarn Harlot), who at one point hollered, “Vickie, check this…
Sveltlana Avrakh, one of the fantastically talented in-house designers for Bernat, has designed a cable and seed stitch pullover out of Sheep(ish) yarn. It’s included in Yarnspirations’ new, Fall Lookbook. I couldn’t be more thrilled to have such beautiful…

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
