Last week we officially said “so long” to ourStitch.Rock.Knit-along. Unofficially however, it lives on. The threads on both Ravelry and Facebook are still up as well as the how-to cable video on YouTube, so feel free to continue working on cowls and sharing pictures–we love seeing ’em!
Just like any host, I was nervous that no one would show up to the knit-along party. I was overwhelmed (in a good way) by the response, though! I truly enjoyed virtually hanging out with everyone, and watching their progress (and sharing mine)! Here are just a few KAL finished projects.
L-R Mine, knit in Coral(ish), Tina Lindquist’s, Renee Blankenship’s & Michelle Kovach’s (all via Facebook)
L-R Jessoliel, AnaBC, LiteraryLady & MamaKaren (all via Ravelry)
Here’s what people are saying about the knit-along:
“Thanks for the great pattern and KAL!-“-Debbie Jarmusik
“I already wore [my cowl] before I blocked it, because it’s so cute I couldn’t wait!”
–Michelle Kovach
“The [how-to] video was great, thanks for the cable refresher…!”– Alice Reagan
“Please do knit-alongs more often. I don’t have friends who knit and this was really fun!”–Allison McCallister
“[Sheep(ish)] colors are just beautiful and vibrant!” –Stazerd (Ravelry)
“I have to say I am loving this yarn! I plopped on my couch last night and watched tv and knit the ribbing section up and I really loved the feel of the yarn–very soft. And am very pleased with the Gun Metal(ish) color.”
–Literary Lady
“Loved this project. Now I can have fun making myself one!–Jmacal9425
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...
Happy FriYAY! the 13th, Ghouls and Gourds! To celebrate we're giving you 13% OFF YarnYAY's spookiest kits and patterns. USE code: FRIYAYTHE13TH. Spooky sale item collecting link in @vickiehowell bio
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.
