My friend Kerrie Allman (you may remember her “Dance TV” legwarmers & backback designs from New Knits on the Block), is the publisher of Yarn Forward, a knit & crochet-focused magazine out of the UK. She was kind enough to include me in the 7th issue, which hits stands October 8th (in the U.S., too!)
Grab your copy to get a super-early sneak preview pattern (from our upcoming eco-conscious book, Stitch Hugger) of my caterpillar inspired, baby sleep sack! Keep your little cuddle-bug safely snug in this quick(ish)-to-knit project, made from hemp, soysilk & wool.
Now, let us pause for the insane adorableness of the wee, Euro baby modeling. *pausing*
Ok, moving on.
Baby Sleep Sack
(Preview Pattern from Stitch Hugger, Lark Books Fall ’09)
Other projects from this issue include: the versatile, cover cardi (I love the apple ribbon detailing!), a funky, free-form crochet bag, and a steeked, Fair Isle sweater. To glimpse shots of what else to expect from the mag, go here.
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.
