Crocheters! I promise we love you so. This took more minutes than I wanted, but The Crochet Box is finally available for pre-sale!
I’m really excited about this one. True story: months ago, my dear friend who also runs sales for the U.S. distributor of Wool & the Gang, texted me from the premiere industry show in Germany. She said that Prada was showing raffia bags in the same shade as the latest Ra-Ra-Raffia shade of blue. I loved the back (but not the $1,400! price), so right then and there decided to design my own take that crocheters could make themselves. The kit to make this bag, along with a few other goodies I’ve curated for you, is now part of the very first YarnYAY! Crochet Box.
What’s in the box
2 skeins, Wool in the GangRa-Ra-Rafia (100% viscose paper;100gr 250m / 273 yd), in EITHER Powder Blue or Hot Pink
Full color, Runway-inspired Tote Bag Pattern, by Vickie Howell

It’s hard to believe it’s already been almost a year since Vickie’s Wednesday’s Snood pattern came out. We’re excited, though, to be able to revisit it with our new kits! Snap to it! (Link in bio, or go to YarnYAY.com)...
I am devastated by the loss of @hillcountryweavers founder, Suzanne Middlebrooks.
I wrote a longer tribute to her on my blog and Facebook (links in bio). In short, though, she had been sick for a long time but had been a master at not letting the illness get in the way of her living. So, it was often unimaginable that she wouldn't be with us for longer. Last June during an industry convention in Chicago when Susanne came over to the bar booth I was sitting at and plopped herself next to me to chat, I had no idea that it would be the last time I'd get to see her. I'm so thankful though, that when we parted ways to go back to our respective meetings, it was with a hug. Rest in purls, my friend....
