Many of you have been faithfully stalking your local Jo-ann store in hope of finding my new yarn, but unfortunately have struck out (there’s still a couple more days for them to get it set-up). First off, I just have to say that that makes me feel all gushy inside. Second, I wanted to let you know that the amazing web team at Bernat (shout out to: Cori, Jen, Kaleigh & Amanda!) hustled their butts off to make Bernat Cotton-ish by Vickie Howell available for purchase online for stitchers NOW!
The Bernat Design Team and I have put together a cool, fun and accessible launch collection to inspire you. I’ll take time over the coming weeks to talk about each of them (as well as introduce more!), but today I thought I’d feature one of my favorites by my friend, Nicole: the Yes, Yes Shawl.
The same shawl can be pretty and sweet, and funky and chic depending on how you wear it. Wrap it around your shoulders for a flirty and feminine look, or wear it like an oversized scarf (I prefer jauntily askew) for a cool and relaxed feel.
Well, whattya waiting for? Head on over to Bernat.com now to nab some Cotton-ish and a free pattern or two to go with it!
xx,
Vickie
P.S. Don’t forget to fave/stash it on Ravelry, too!

I used to watch you on that program you hosted, with all the women knitting, I can’t remember the name of the show, but I really enjoyed it. I am excited to have finally caught up with you again on fb. I knit and crochet, and I am learning more and more about knitting, and it is very exiting. I go to a knitting group, at my local library, and every one brings something different to the table. Thanks

I’m so glad you liked, Knitty Gritty! Hopefully you’ll also tune in to the show I just took over hosting, Knitting Daily TV with Vickie Howell. It begins airing in January on your local PBS station. Thanks for posting!

Hi,
I was wondering what pattern you used to knit the pink shawl you were wearing this Thursday on Knitting Daily. I couldn’t find it in your patterns on Ravelry. Thank you.

Can you tell me what the subject of the episode was? The show’s in reruns, so not sure which episode or season is airing. The shawl was either an Interweave or Yarnspirations design, though so wouldn’t be in my personal Ravelry database. Let me know, and I’ll see if I can help! 🙂

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!
The March YarnYAY! Box crochet project is 𝘍𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘵, a crochet, boomerang shawlette. The shape is more commonly seen in knitted pieces, but I love it because if you want the piece to be larger, you just keep working it in the established pattern.
𝘍𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘵 is worked with a sweet, as-to-go edging and optional, appliquéd, chain-florets. I designed it to be worn as shown here, scarf-style, but with the option to go full-shawl. You do you!

MODEL FUN FACT:
The gorgeous human modeling this shawlette, Kat Roberts, was the main featured young woman (swipe to see) in the infamous 1992, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog video “Nothing But a G Thang”. That video didn’t age well, but man, she sure did! 🤩
