Just because the holidays are crazy-busy doesn’t mean there isn’t time to get crafty. Knit and crocheted gifts are the softest way to celebrate the season, and I’m a big believer that projects should be attainable no matter what your schedule looks like! That’s why I’ve designed four, great gift items that can be made in a weekend, a day or even just an hour — and all in Vickie Howell Sheep(ish) Yarn. Whether you’re stitching for officemates, teachers or your best friends, you’ll be able to fit these patterns into almost any time table.
It's almost July and that means it's time to debut YarnYAY!’s Fall/Winter Designer in Residence - the amazing, vibrant, and talented, Toni Lipsey aka @tlyarncrafts ! We're big fans of her work in both the crochet and Tunisian crochet realms and couldn't be more thrilled to have her on the design team for the season.
✨This means that, as of our July box (on sale now) YarnYAY! subscribers will receive one of her patterns, designed especially for us! 🧶
Welcome Toni, we’re thrilled to have you as part of the team! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Dear community,
The majority share of the knitting, crochet, and crafts industries, and the community that supports them, are women and non-binary folk with uteruses. After yesterday's devastating supreme court decision, essentially removing women's constitutional rights over our own bodies, need to support one another. We need to love each other enough to not give up. I see you. My heart is with you.
Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to be on a Zoom action-meeting run by a major women's healthcare organization. We feel powerless, but one of the suggestions they gave for things we can do is to donate to grass-root organizations that focus on women's healthcare clinics.

If any women or non-binary people with a uterus who are attending @hhamericas and need emotional support after today’s devastating Supreme Court ruling, meet-up at the seating section on the show floor next to the stage, after the Indie Magazine Panel at 1pm. 💗 #roevwade...
Hi Vickie!
I’m not sure if it’s the way I crochet or tension my yarn, but is your brand supposed to have a fuzzy kind of halo to it?
