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! 🙂

When I came across this Knitting Needle Patent greeting card by @patentpress , I couldn’t resist selecting it as one of the items for the YarnYAY! September box! (Link in @vickiehowell bio or got to YarnYAY.com)
What looks like part circular knitting needle, part Tunisian crochet hook is illustrated as the patent drawing for flexible knitting needles. This greeting card memorializes the creation of tools that we stitchers can now, not do without!...
The sample yarn for both palettes of this year’s 12 Days of YAY! Advent Box have arrived. I cannot wait for stitchers to open up a new color everyday!
I don’t want to spoil the shade surprises, but I can share just how much yarn we’re sending you this year — FIFTEEN mini hanks of beautifully hand dyed yarn, by two rad boss-lady dyers.
Historically, we have sold out of these so I’d you’re prone to FOMO, be sure to pre-order tour 12 Days of YAY!
Nineteen years into this knitting career, it’s crazy-pants that I’ve never had Learn to Knit or Learn to Crochet kits before. So, I finally made it happen. If you know someone, or ARE someone that wants to learn — while also making something wearable— check out our new hats and scarves kits in the YarnYAY! Shop!
