I’m so excited about the impending launch of the new, Craft Corps website, coming Monday May 4th! In commemoration of the one-year countdown until the Craft Corps book (featuring conversations with super-star crafters like Carol Duvall, Amy Butler, Jay McCarroll, Jennifer Perkins and more!) hits shelves, we’re going live with the blog/community pages.
I hope you’ll join me in celebrating our community by connecting with fellow crafters, reading their stories and perhaps, telling your own. Stay tuned!
xo,
Vickie
P.S. Join the Corps now, by signing up for the Craft Corps Weekly newsletter! Each week, you’ll be introduced to a new crafter (via their favorite memory or anecdote about crafting)–from knitter to woodworker– and become eligible for a whole slew of exciting giveaways, discounts and other, crafty goodness!
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!
