With dad’s day coming up I thought I’d share the pattern for a golf club cover I made for my father-in-law a couple of years ago. Admittedly, I don’t know anything about golf, but this cozy was a special request so I did my best. I’m happy to say that Mr. Wayne Campbell was quite pleased with the finished product, and I’m hoping that the golfer in your life will be, too. Happy Father’s Day! — Vickie

I made one of these for my Dad for Fathers day. Easily the best reaction I’ve ever gotten out of him from a homemade gift! I posted my project on ravelry, but it is not linked directly to the pattern becuase I don’t see it on ravelry. Anyways, here’s my ravely project page for it: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/knitwitenator/clubbed Ill keep an eye out for the pattern page to link it to. 🙂

Whether you have a collection of lone hank leftovers from projects past or are a gatherer (impulse buyer?) of single skeins from some of the amazing dyers we all admire on Instagram, we as knitters and crocheters are all bound to have 50gr-100gr of a beautiful fiber that's just waiting to become our next favorite project.
In this casual meet-up, Vickie will take you through a tour of a dozen or more (time allowing) different project ideas for those single hanks of yarn. Chunky, worsted, DK, sock, regardless of your yarn-weight jam, this session will inspire you to dive into your stash or even better, to try a hank of something interesting from that indie dyer or spotlighted yarn in your LYS. Oh, and bonus, you'll leave the hour with a coupon code for a free 1-hank project of your choice from YarnYAY.com!
Hope to see you there!...
How cute! Great color combo.

That’s so nice to hear, Kristina! Yours turned out great. 🙂
Just added it to Ravelry. I don’t know why, but I always forget to do that. I’m all over FB, Twitter, Pinterest & Flickr — but I always slack on Rav.
