Our very first, Crochet Pin-along was a blast! Collecting images on a community Pinterest board is such a cool way to crochet-along a project together. We (myself, Bernat & the Jo-Ann team) loved seeing pictures of fellow crocheter’sMarket Bag supplies, works-in-progress (WIPs), and finished objects (FOs). In case you missed it though, here’s a glimpse of the #joannCPAL fun.
Getting started (or “chaining on” as I like to call it)
You can see more CPAL photos on Pinterest, here. Still want to make a Market Bag? Please do! You can get the pattern here, and Cotton-ish yarn at select Jo-ann Stores and during July, on sale at Bernat.com for 25 % off (enter code: BERNATSELECT13)!
Since the CPAL is something we made up, it was definitely a learning experience. Do you have any suggestions for making our next pin-along even more successful? Please post your comments!
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!
