Alright, I know I just launched Purple Stitch Project a couple of days ago, but I’m already coming to you guys with a need. Next month in Bastrop (you know, where the HUGE fires wiped out 4,000 homes last year)…
After my dad passed away in 2010, I came across a few of my very first crochet projects while cleaning out his attic. One of which, was the multi-colored, granny square doll blanket pictured below. This finding reinforces the fact…
Last August my now 10-year-old son, Tristan was diagnosed with epilepsy. Since then it’s been an emotional roller-coaster of anti-seizure drug side-effects, alternative treatment options, academic challenges, and dealing with the emotional strife a child feels when he’s not in…
Golf Club Cozy With dad’s day coming up I thought I’d share the pattern for a golf club cover I made for my father-in-law a couple of years ago. Admittedly, I don’t know anything about golf, but this cozy was…
I’m a big fan of Kristin Omdahl. Her patterns are feminine and flirty with a whisper of architectural design. Her latest booklet, Compliments Collection offers 10 knit and crochet projects which speak to her signature aesthetic while offering the perfect inspiration…

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
