The Whirlwind Wrap is perfect for the gal-on-the-go. It’s crocheted using the Bullion Stitch (see how-to video below) and has a buckle embellishment that adds both a little funk, and practicality. Nab the yarn for this project here!
The Tuxita tunic is a versatile layering piece for baby, that’s sized for 6 mos-6 years. It’s adorable worn as a tank with sandals, over jeans and boots, or with tights and an undershirt. Nab the yarn for this project here!
I got them off of freepeople.com. They show them in black there, but they have both colors. 🙂

Vickie, Just a quick note to say “Thank you”. I am a novice but managed to ‘whip’ up your wrap (in black) for my daughter. Since she participates in medieval fairs, theatre and such activities, we closed it with some antique clasps. She loves it and to me that is all that counts. Thank you for sharing the pattern and for making it accessible even for a novice like me! dwarfy
Oh, that’s so great. Thanks for the note. Oh, and please upload a picture of your daughter modeling the wrap to the Caron Flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/cuckooforcaron 🙂

When I came across this Knitting Needle Patent greeting card by @patentpress , I couldn’t resist selecting it as one of the items for the YarnYAY! September box! (Link in @vickiehowell bio or got to YarnYAY.com)
What looks like part circular knitting needle, part Tunisian crochet hook is illustrated as the patent drawing for flexible knitting needles. This greeting card memorializes the creation of tools that we stitchers can now, not do without!...
The sample yarn for both palettes of this year’s 12 Days of YAY! Advent Box have arrived. I cannot wait for stitchers to open up a new color everyday!
I don’t want to spoil the shade surprises, but I can share just how much yarn we’re sending you this year — FIFTEEN mini hanks of beautifully hand dyed yarn, by two rad boss-lady dyers.
Historically, we have sold out of these so I’d you’re prone to FOMO, be sure to pre-order tour 12 Days of YAY!
Nineteen years into this knitting career, it’s crazy-pants that I’ve never had Learn to Knit or Learn to Crochet kits before. So, I finally made it happen. If you know someone, or ARE someone that wants to learn — while also making something wearable— check out our new hats and scarves kits in the YarnYAY! Shop!
Hi Vickie – nice to have the tutorial – looks like fun. Thanks!
love the boots, i’ve been searching for ones exactly like these—from anywhere specific?
