Today's the day we kick off the Crochet-along for the @pompommag Overprint Bag, in partnership with designer @juliamadill
We've put together Montoya Merino Light kits in my YarnYAY! shop, but no matter which yarn you use (the called-for yarn is rad, but a little harder to get here in the states -- see Julia's great post about yarn substitutions), we'd love for you to make yours along with us!
Psst...YarnYAYers get a special 20% off the digital issue pf Pom Pom. See our kit page (tap or go to yarnyay.com) for details!
Join the YarnYAY! Facebook Group and/OR Ravelry Group to follow along. Hope to see you there!

Let’s talk about how our Craft — knitting, crochet, or otherwise — helps us cope with things like chronic physical or mental health issues.
Make sure to find some time this weekend to care for yourself! 👊🏼💗

The March YarnYAY! Box crochet project is 𝘍𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘵, a crochet, boomerang shawlette. The shape is more commonly seen in knitted pieces, but I love it because if you want the piece to be larger, you just keep working it in the established pattern.
𝘍𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘵 is worked with a sweet, as-to-go edging and optional, appliquéd, chain-florets. I designed it to be worn as shown here, scarf-style, but with the option to go full-shawl. You do you!

MODEL FUN FACT:
The gorgeous human modeling this shawlette, Kat Roberts, was the main featured young woman (swipe to see) in the infamous 1992, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog video “Nothing But a G Thang”. That video didn’t age well, but man, she sure did! 🤩

Well, sure! Since it’s not like you’ll have a new baby around to keep you otherwise occupied 😉
Yes! Yes! Write a pattern! I’d love to make a scarf like that for this winter!
Actually, there are so many cool scarf patterns that it is going to be hard not to make one for each day. But still . . . pattern please 😀
Love this scarf. Hope your wee one comes soon and is healthy and happy. Sending you love.
ooh looks like it would be fun and maybe a bit challenging. where ever do you find the time Vickie?
