The Reykjavík chill has me feeling grateful for the coziness of the Highland Lux yarn and the double brim of my #BargeBeanie (pattern in this month’s YarnYAY! box, link in bio). 🥶🧶🥰 #yarnyay
Who needs some flowers today? Sometimes it’s the littlest things that can be bright spots in our day. As stitchers, we all have swatches from different projects over the years. Let’s face it, some are too cute to not keep … and adore. Here’s a fun way to display those wee works! The swatches here are samples of embroidered flowers for knitwear from my booklet, Embroider Knit! (Available on Etsy) Are you interested in a virtual class on embroidering flowers onto your knitting and crochet project?
The YarnYAY! December Box — featuring a special, limited edition shade collab with @spunrightround — is HERE! Go to YarnYAY.com (or go to the link in my @vickiehowell bio) to learn more. (See my feed for the unboxing, too!) Happy Holidays! #yarnyay
Another @seamwork #lyledress for the books! It’s my go-to pattern (I think this is the 6th or 7th one I’ve made) for a quick, cute dress (my uniform during sweltering, Texas summers). I hadn’t planned on making another one, but I’m a sucker for a Vans-esque black and white, checker print. When I found this Jersey at @joann_stores , I couldn’t resist. Arguably, though, it may be time to diversify. What’s your favorite, simple summer dress pattern? #memade #sewing #slowfashion #heatdome

It’s time for the last unboxing of 2023. This one was a bit of a technical adventure, but I pulled it off, just in the nick of time, and partially from my room at The Graduate Hotel in Nashville.

I got to celebrate my birthday in Iceland this year, which is pretty much the perfect place to rock knitwear. I was pleased as plaid to finally be able to wear the cowl I designed for the Fall Quarterly Box. Here it is, in the wilds of Seljalandsfoss! There are only a few more days to get the Fall box at the subscriber price ($20 less than what the retail price will be.) Go to YarnYAY.com (link in @vickiehowell bio) to pick your plaid palette! #yarnyay #plaid
There are only SEVEN YarnYAY! Winter Boxes left, all in this deep and gorgeous palette. What’s in the box, what’s in the box?! (Now you now) 😉 Link in @vickiehowell bio, or go to YarnYAY.com #lastcall #yarnyay #knitter
Finished a fun, little scraps project (to match my fave glasses), the #butterquiltscarf by @matchymatchysewingclub . It was just the kind of quick make I had a hankering for. (h/t @woolintentions for the idea!) #quilting #memade

Ok, reposting the December Unboxing, because it looks like I chose the wrong posting option last time, so only 90 seconds came through. The vid’s 7 minutes, so hopefully this time it works! (It’s posted in full on my Facebook page, YouTube, and YarnYAY.com, too.) Thanks for your patience!
