With only days until Pop Goes Crochet officially hits shelves it’s time for the two-months of weekly book giveaways to come to an end. Today’s your last chance to win signed copies (I have 2 more left)!
First though, the winner of last week’s Pop Trivia Quiz is: Mary Ann Herbel! Please e-mail your mailing address to: contests@vickiehowell.com, so we can get your copy of PGC out to you!
Now for this week’s question (this one requires two answers):
These boots were inspired by which actress who played a mercenary Mrs. in what 2005 action-movie, who’s secret identity is almost revealed when she accidently wears part of her under-cover costume to a neighborhood party?
Good luck!
xo,
Vickie
Psst!…Don’t forget to put a little Pop! in someone’s day today by sending them a trivia e-card. It’s free! It’s fun!
Today (3/31) is Trans Visibility Day, which also, coincidentally marks three weeks since I began volunteering as a Crisis Counselor for @trevorproject, an organization with the mission to end suicide amongst LGBTQ+ youth.
At this point, I only have a thimble's worth of experience, but from human to human, I thought I'd share just one of the things I've learned so far about what it means to identify as trans.
To the trans folks in my life, today and every day, sending love and acceptance your way.
To everyone, kind to one another. Respect each other's individual journies....
I’ve legit been waiting for @ikeausa to have this glass case in-stock since mid pandemic. I wanted a happy little place for projects of YarnYAY! Past to live. I love a knitwear stack. 😍 It’s the little things, people!
(Oh, and patterns for every thing in this curio are available in my shop at YarnYAY.com ✔️)...
Today's the day we kick off the Crochet-along for the @pompommag Overprint Bag, in partnership with designer @juliamadill
We've put together Montoya Merino Light kits in my YarnYAY! shop, but no matter which yarn you use (the called-for yarn is rad, but a little harder to get here in the states -- see Julia's great post about yarn substitutions), we'd love for you to make yours along with us!
Psst...YarnYAYers get a special 20% off the digital issue pf Pom Pom. See our kit page (tap or go to yarnyay.com) for details!
Join the YarnYAY! Facebook Group and/OR Ravelry Group to follow along. Hope to see you there!
