Admittedly a year late, I’m finally up on Etsy! Check out: VickieHowell.etsy.com for new kits and color choices, most of which are not offered on my website.
While supplies last, there are several different color options of the Wriblets wrist warmers and Market Bag, as well as a pink version of the Chilly Scarf Kit all of which I mentioned on the Blue Genie blog post. I also put up a bunch of color choices of Pom Packs, coordinated yardage from my own stash for people who want to make tassels and pom-poms without investing in full skeins of yarn. I know for us knitters and crocheters this seems crazy since we usually have so much left-over yarn, but this was a direct request from Jennifer Perkins who said that non-knitters love the pom-poms and hate the waste, just as much us the rest of us. 😉 Anyway, tassel and pom instructions included!
Happy holidays, Vickie! Etsy is the greatest – I’m so happy you’re on there. I already made a purchase of two of your beautiful kits. Cannot wait to try out Vegas yarn, finally!!! 🙂
I’m on my way to check out your new Etsy account, and I have to say that I’m excited! First you pop up on Ravelry, now you’re on Etsy–what next? 😀
If you see that your etsy shop is favorited by “briannamewborn” or “mommysquared”, just know that’s my two etsy accounts. I want to remember that you’re on there, and purchase whenever I can!
Best of luck, and have a happy new year!

Hey Vickie! That’s so exciting about Etsy! I had a question, though. Are you going to give out the pattern for the flower on the Candy Striper Bag? Thanks!

Vickie, I would love to see you sell the chilly scarf kit you pictured in the Blue Genie entry in the etsy store. Thanks! Just an idea.
Cheryl–I actually only had 3 of those kits left and I put them up on etsy yesterday, but they sold out. I’m completely out of the grey Vegas, but I may be able to put one together in pink and/or black-purple. I’ll work on it asap!
Anonymous–D’oh, I forgot. I think I’ll need to re-write because I can’t remember where I put that pattern (I wrote it 2 a couple of years ago). I’ll work on that, too! I guess if done in silver, blue or pink they could be worn as pins through out the spring…
Dear YarnYAY! Community & Supporters,
It’s with all of the feels, and a deep breath, that I announce that month’s will be the last monthly box, as we begin the process of closing YarnYAY! by Vickie Howell.
Five and a half years ago, this business essentially fell into my lap. I was just wrapping a tour promoting the launch of The Knit Show, and in the middle of writing my 13th book, The Knit Vibe when an executive from CrateJoy approached me about co-founding a subscription box for knitters. The arm of their company that ran subscription box businesses with creators and entrepreneurs who already had a following would handle the capital, fulfillment, customer service and sourcing. I would be in charge of project design, pattern writing, product curation, marketing, media content, and anything else creative. I had longtime been wanting to add a retail aspect to my overall offerings, but with a very full plate hadn’t yet figured out a viable, responsible way to do that. This seemed ideal.

Have you met her? This is final shade of VH Montoya Merino, Sputnik Spruce, and she’s practically perfect in every way. Hand-dyed by the amazing @spunrightround I could not love this non-traditional, holiday palette more!
Get this limited edition run of Sputnik Spruce in the YarnYAY! December box. Now available at YarnYAY.com (link in bio)!
Second only to the #dollyparton costume exhibit, a highlight of our trip to Nashville was a tour of @hatchshowprint . I wanted to move in! *sigh* Block printing is dreamy. 😍...
Ok, reposting the December Unboxing, because it looks like I chose the wrong posting option last time, so only 90 seconds came through. The vid’s 7 minutes, so hopefully this time it works! (It’s posted in full on my Facebook page, YouTube, and YarnYAY.com, too.) Thanks for your patience!...

Major woot – I just added you to my favorite sellers’ list 🙂

It’s addicting though.
