I’m finally starting work on Craft Corps. For those of you who submitted profiles, thank you SO much! I was absolutely thrilled with the response. Please don’t feel discouraged that you haven’t heard back from the publisher yet. They were kind enough to take a first pass at narrowing them down for me while I was working on the eco-book and Pop Goes Crochet, but I haven’t had a chance to personally read submissions yet. We’ll get back to you over the next couple of months. Thanks for your patience!
Unrelated to the profiles, I’d love to know which crafters are most influential to you? Is there a professional quilter, screen-printing artist or potter whose work you follow? A well-known scrap booker, stitcher, or metal sculptor who especially inspires you?
I have my own list of people in the industry who I admire and have approached about interviews, but I have room for more and want to fill those spaces with the people YOU want to read about!
So speak up, crafty peeps! Even if you think the person’s a given, please still name them here. You never know, who might’ve fallen through the list-writing cracks. 😉
Thanks in advance for helping to make this project truly, about community!
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.
