Have I mentioned lately, how much I love yous guys? No? Well, I do. Without the messages from a few readers, I wouldn’t have known thatSheep(ish)–the 1st yarn in my Stitch.Rock.Love line through Caron– is available NOW (2 weeks early) at JoAnn Etc. stores across the nation!
Over the weekend we went to the Austin store (at Arbor Walk) to check it out, and *squeal*, Sheep(ish) was there! The free pattern sheets from my designs haven’t arrived yet, but there’ll be 4 available in stores next week(ish). In the meantime, here’s a list of some of my previous, free patterns that would work up well in Sheep(ish):

Wondering if the JoAnn near you carries Sheep(ish)? Well, thanks to web-girl-wonder Jenny, you can consult the store finder on my website! Check that out here.
Don’t worry though, if you don’t have a store near you. Buy.Caron.com has all 21 colors available and ready to ship to anywhere in the U.S., Canada, UK & Australia!
Lastly, I really get a kick out of seeing the endcaps at stores across the country. I started a “Sheep(ish) Spotting” album on my Facebook page of shots that people send me from their local store. Keep sending ’em to me–I really appreciate it!
As always, thanks for the support. I couldn’t be prouder of my new yarn. The colors are beautiful, it’s delightful to work with, and it’s affordable. Hope you love it as much as I do!
Stay tuned for weekly patterns using Sheep(ish) delivered through the Caron Connections newsletter, starting tomorrow! If you haven’t signed up already, you can do so on their site.
I work at the JoAnn’s store in Independence, MO. I had the pleasure of setting the endcap for the Sheep(ish) line. The yarn feels wonderful and the colors are so saturated. I will be directing many of our customers to trying it for their many projects. In fact, before I was even finished setting them out, I had a gal wanting to buy some. Congratulations on a line well done!!!
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"!

I’m bummed. My local JoAnns never has any of the good stuff. I wanna touch it and see the colors in person. Sigh. I’m very happy for you, though!
OMG I will be partaking in sending you a
sheep(ish) sighting! I’m out to hunt for some to make a cheshire cat with!
Hoping to find it in Canada! Will be on the lookout!
I can’t wait to see it in the stores.
Congrats!
