Make sure to find some time this weekend to care for yourself! ๐๐ผ๐

The March YarnYAY! Box crochet project is ๐๐ญ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ต, 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.โฃ
โฃ
๐๐ญ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ต is worked with a sweet, as-to-go edging and optional, appliquรฉd, chain-florets. I designed it to be worn as shown here, scarf-style, but with the option to go full-shawl. You do you!โฃ

MODEL FUN FACT:โฃ
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 โNothing But a G Thangโ. That video didnโt age well, but man, she sure did! ๐คฉโฃ

We are so excited that our friend and YarnYAY! Design Manager, @juliamadill'sย Overprint Bag design was published in the Spring '23 issue of @pompommag !
We love the graphic look, and environmentally conscious purpose of this crochet tote so much, that we've put together two colorful, Montoya Merino Light kits to celebrate!
Go to the YarnYAY! shop link in my @vickiehowell bio to learn more AND get a 20% off discount for the digital issue of the magazine.
Oh, and keep your eyes open for a crochet-along, coming on 3/29!

Side note (that likely no one by me will care about): Giving away hanks on St Patrick's Day, of my Montoya Merino yarn feels appropriate as my dad used to always say that my brother and I were Spirish (Spanish + Irish). Thank you for listening.โฃ
