If you didn’t win this one don’t forget, Jennifer’s holding a similar contest on her blog this week! Also, as promised, I’ll be giving away something new this week (and every week until Knit Aid hits shelves), so stay tuned!
If you find yourself at a news stand in the near future, check out my latest Eco-Craft column in KIWI Magazine. This one features old-school pot holders, made from recycled hosiery!
I love Interweave’s newest magazine,Crochet! So much so, that I e-mailed editor Kim Werker and asked if I could do something, anything, to be a part of it. She was kind enough to let me launch their newest feature, “Crochet Around Town” with my article focusing on Austin. I had so much fun blabbing about my ideal day around town–so come take a tour with me, won’t you?
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, Susanne 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....
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!
I’m so psyched I won an issue – can’t wait to check it out!
