Vickie Howell Instagram - This is perhaps a TMI FYI, but I believe in a.) communication, and b.) normalizing conversation about reproductive health. 

I'll be out of the proverbial office for the next coming weeks, as I release my uterus into its afterlife. I thank her for her service.

I'm planning on doing my best to not work for a minute (notice the vagueness due to, hmm, unplugged anxiety?), including being unavailable publically (not personally) on social media. 

If you have questions about anything YarnYAY! orders or account-related, please email support@yarnyay.com.

Need patterns help? Post in the YarnYAY! Facebook group, or (as of the end of this week), e-mail our new patternsupport@yarnyay.com resource!

Are you a subscriber to one of our clubs (BBC, Monthly, or Quarterly), and need a little virtual help with any of our projects? Sign-up for a Handmade Help Session (go to any subscription club product page for the link.)

Thanks, everyone. Now, what will I be knitting while convalescing? Hmm...

(h/t to MK Carroll and @knittymag for the womb pattern, to @kraeo for the Paloma shade of yarn, and mom for knitting it.)

It’s with all of the feels, and a deep breath, that I announce that month’s will be the last monthly box, as we begin the process of closing YarnYAY! by Vickie Howell.⁣
⁣
Five and a half years ago, this business essentially fell into my lap. I was just wrapping a tour promoting the launch of The Knit Show, and in the middle of writing my 13th book, The Knit Vibe when an executive from CrateJoy approached me about co-founding a subscription box for knitters. The arm of their company that ran subscription box businesses with creators and entrepreneurs who already had a following would handle the capital, fulfillment, customer service and sourcing. I would be in charge of project design, pattern writing, product curation, marketing, media content, and anything else creative. I had longtime been wanting to add a retail aspect to my overall offerings, but with a very full plate hadn’t yet figured out a viable, responsible way to do that. This seemed ideal. ⁣

Vickie Howell Instagram - As a post-surgery pick-me-up, we employed a one uterus out/one uterus in policy by welcoming this little lady into our home. šŸ˜‰ Meet our newest, pet-baby, G.G. (short for Grey Gardens). As you can see from the first photo, she approves of my profession. She’s pretty much the cutest kitten that ever did kitten. 😻

Vickie Howell Instagram - Fifteen years ago, this handsome fella showed up on our doorstep and adopted us. We lucked out because he ended up being the best cat I’ve ever known. Such a good boy. 

Goodnight, sweet Dexter. You will be so incredibly missed. 😿
Vickie Howell Instagram - I cannot even remember the last time I’ve had the chance to knit or crochet an entire garment for myself, purely for the sake of making. I’m so happy to have this graphic beauty as part of my black-and-white wardrobe era. 😜

Vickie Howell Instagram - 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.

Vickie Howell Instagram - Hey, friends! Are you sitting down? This year marks the 20th anniversary of the premiere of Knitty Gritty on @diy_network_  and @hgtv ! 

The opportunity to host this show, learn from the leading experts in the industry, and meet so many passionate knitters and crocheters changed the trajectory of my career life. I will be forever grateful for the years I was a part of this project and the relationships I gained because of it.šŸ’—

I would love to celebrate this anniversary by hearing from you, dear community. If you were a guest on the show, worked tirelessly to create it, or appeared as a Knitster, please tag yourself in the comments section. If you have a favorite episode of the show or a Knitty Gritty-related story, please also share.

Much love to all of you who, over the past two decades, have been along for the ride! šŸ˜‰

Vickie Howell Instagram - I’m happy to announce my Mini Woven Patch virtual class as the first installment of my ā€œOne & Done Seriesā€, designed to give students just a taste of a technique. These classes are a great, low-commitment way to explore new crafts and skills. 

In this class, you’ll learn the basics of weaving on a mini, flat loom while making a small, woven patch. We’ll cover a few different, basic weaving stitches, as well as optional embroidery embellishments. These patches are great for decoratively repairing holes in knitwear, adorning store-bought clothing, or simply, as tiny little works of textile art.

Skill Level: Beginner

This class includes:
-One, 3ā€ Mini Loom, comb, and tapestry needle
-2 hours of virtual instruction
-Recording of class for reference

Learn more and sign-up for my virtual classes by going to the link in my @vickiehowell (from Insta) or heading directly (from Facebook) to https://www.etsy.com/listing/1708431834/mini-loom-woven-patches-one-done-class

Vickie Howell Instagram - 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?

Vickie Howell Instagram - Super fun collab with my kid on an outfit for their theater company’s end-of-year banquet. I call this look, ā€œHedy, Meet Ziggy. Ziggy, Meet Hedyā€.

Banquet theme: A Night in Starrywood (aka Old Hollywood Glamour)

Inspiration: Hedy Lamarr from Ziegfeld Girl   a dash of Ziggy Stardust (David Bowie’s alter ego)

D.I.Y. details:

We started with a store bought romper that would be comfortable for a long event, while still giving a drapey silhouette.  From there, we created or embellished. Additions/creations included:

• Shoulder pads added as a nod to the 40’s
• Hand-sewn  sequin and appliquĆ© stars
• Organza outerwear. Simple, 2-seam ā€œrobeā€ I sewed with 20’s-inspired cocoon shape 
• Star headdress I created with armature wire, floral wire, beaded appliquĆ©s, crystal floral spray, and hot glue.

Are you a performer’s parent, too? I want to hear about (and see) some of your costume collabs!

Vickie Howell Instagram - French knots can be tricky. The trick is to push all wraps close to the fabric after your needle hits the fabric, before pulling taught.

In my latest booklet, Embroider Knit, I show how cute French knots look on knits. They’re especially šŸ˜ when a whole gaggle of them make up the center of a flower, like this one I call, Chrysie.

Vickie Howell Instagram - When your kid comes to you with a Google Slide presentation for their Halloween costume, you take it seriously. When that costume is for a character from Canadian musical, @cyclone_musical , well, things get interesting. 

Clo wanted to model their version after original cast member @emilyrohm ā€˜s look. This posed two challenges: 1.) Nellie Olsen-style, blond ringlet wigs are hard to come by, and curling synthetic wig hair apparently takes more patience and skills than I have. Thanks to the @uttadaustin production, though, we were inspired to go with a different, more attainable doll-hair look.

 2) The grey, school uniform pinafore that for some reason, was ungettable in the size and time we needed. This meant, it was time to dust off the sewing machine.

I used @mccallpatterncompany M7141 for the skirt portion, then drafted my own pattern for the pinafore straps and modified the waistband to make it work. The result, our own Jane Doe, and thankfully another successful handmade Halloween.

Happy Halloween!

Vickie Howell Instagram - 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?

Specifically, though, thanks to winemaker/owner @raemwilson for making my eclipse-dreams come true by hustling to make Total Eclipse of the Heart play at the exact moment of totality. šŸŒžšŸŒ‘ Oh, and of course, perfection of moments was achieved by sipping their Dandy RosĆ© during the whole experience. šŸ·

Vickie Howell Instagram - Recently, I’ve been pondering the state of the publishing industry, especially when it comes to print magazines. The recent discontinuation of publications like industry staples š™„š™£š™©š™šš™§š™¬š™šš™–š™«š™š š™†š™£š™žš™©š™Ø and š˜¾š™§š™¤š™˜š™š™šš™©, indie darling š™‹š™¤š™¢š™„š™¤š™¢š™ˆš™–š™œš™–š™Æš™žš™£š™š, and the quiet fading away of iconic cornerstone magazine š™‘š™¤š™œš™Ŗš™š š™†š™£š™žš™©š™©š™žš™£š™œ indicate that this medium is slowly disappearing.⁣
⁣
As a lover of physical media, this is disheartening. The hours of entertainment and relaxation magazines have offered over the years, not to mention the broadening of awareness of everything from techniques and patterns to worldwide makers and cultures, is incalculable. As a professional creative, I recognize how this negatively affects independent makers. Reflecting on my career, the medium that has been most consequential to me as a designer, spokesperson, and broadcaster has unquestionably been magazines. I’ve had the honor and privilege of being included in close to 200 print publications internationally, and I’m continually grateful for that support. ⁣
⁣
So, friends, just a shout-out to a medium I adore, and a few calls-to-action to show print media a little love. ⁣
⁣
šŸ‘‰šŸ¼ In the comments section, name a no-longer-published, maker-realm magazine(s) that you miss.⁣
⁣
šŸ‘‰šŸ¼Tag an existing magazine that you love, so that others can follow them, too.⁣
⁣
šŸ‘‰šŸ¼Support at least one, physical magazine by subscribing to it. ⁣
⁣
(See comments for my answers-to action)⁣

Print media foreva’! šŸ˜‰ (Psst.. pass it on.)

Vickie Howell Instagram - Latergram (Slacker?) FO post. I wanted a simple (because the yarn is so busy) pullover in the final shade of Montoya Merino (Sputnik Spruce, a collab with Spun Right Round). It’s the Warm-up sweater by Naomi Endicott.
Vickie Howell Instagram - I often get subscribers apologetically telling me how they're "behind on their [YarnYAY!] box projects". I try to ensure them that it is not a race. It's really important to me that my business be a source of self-care and creative inspiration, and not yet another thing that makes people feel like they're not doing enough. 

YarnYAY! boxes aren't about when or even if you get the respective projects done. They're about supporting small businesses while bringing you cool, beautiful items with the intent of putting a smile on your face. If you love finishing projects every month, then awesome! If you just enjoy any part of the process of knitting or crocheting our patterns, then wonderful! If just simply receiving, opening, and gazing at the yarns and goodies is great for you, then it's great for us! You do you, at your own pace. This is not a race. 

Our July Box, featuring the yarn and project I'm working with in this post is now available. Go to yarnyay.com (link in @vickiehowell bio) to subscribe. <3

Vickie Howell Instagram - NEW PATTERN/KIT 🚨 (link in @vickiehowell bio)

Meet your new favorite, summer knit top, the Cropper Tee!

One day, I got the idea to try on the Cropper cardi backward, to see how it would look as the cropped tee shape I’ve been loving, lately. Lo and behold, it looked great, so we decided to rework the pattern to create a new garment, the Cropper Tee.
Don’t let the name fool you, though. If cropped isn’t your thing, it’s easy to add length by simply continuing in pattern stitch for as long as you’d like!

This piece is knit in two pieces and seamed at the sides and is inclusively sized with nine fit options. Get one of our kits, or build your own by downloading the digital pattern only and choosing the colors of your choice from my yarn line,  Montoya Merino Light!

It’s with all of the feels, and a deep breath, that I announce that month’s will be the last monthly box, as we begin the process of closing YarnYAY! by Vickie Howell.⁣
⁣
Five and a half years ago, this business essentially fell into my lap. I was just wrapping a tour promoting the launch of The Knit Show, and in the middle of writing my 13th book, The Knit Vibe when an executive from CrateJoy approached me about co-founding a subscription box for knitters. The arm of their company that ran subscription box businesses with creators and entrepreneurs who already had a following would handle the capital, fulfillment, customer service and sourcing. I would be in charge of project design, pattern writing, product curation, marketing, media content, and anything else creative. I had longtime been wanting to add a retail aspect to my overall offerings, but with a very full plate hadn’t yet figured out a viable, responsible way to do that. This seemed ideal. ⁣

Goodnight, sweet Dexter. You will be so incredibly missed. 😿

Vickie Howell - 579 Likes - 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.

Vickie Howell - 414 Likes - I’m happy to announce my Mini Woven Patch virtual class as the first installment of my ā€œOne & Done Seriesā€, designed to give students just a taste of a technique. These classes are a great, low-commitment way to explore new crafts and skills.

-One, 3ā€ Mini Loom, comb, and tapestry needle
-2 hours of virtual instruction

Vickie Howell - 331 Likes - 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?

Vickie Howell - 304 Likes - Super fun collab with my kid on an outfit for their theater company’s end-of-year banquet. I call this look, ā€œHedy, Meet Ziggy. Ziggy, Meet Hedyā€.

Banquet theme: A Night in Starrywood (aka Old Hollywood Glamour)

Inspiration: Hedy Lamarr from Ziegfeld Girl   a dash of Ziggy Stardust (David Bowie’s alter ego)

D.I.Y. details:

We started with a store bought romper that would be comfortable for a long event, while still giving a drapey silhouette.  From there, we created or embellished. Additions/creations included:

• Shoulder pads added as a nod to the 40’s
• Hand-sewn  sequin and appliquĆ© stars
• Organza outerwear. Simple, 2-seam ā€œrobeā€ I sewed with 20’s-inspired cocoon shape 
• Star headdress I created with armature wire, floral wire, beaded appliquĆ©s, crystal floral spray, and hot glue.

Are you a performer’s parent, too? I want to hear about (and see) some of your costume collabs!

Vickie Howell - 281 Likes - French knots can be tricky. The trick is to push all wraps close to the fabric after your needle hits the fabric, before pulling taught.

In my latest booklet, Embroider Knit, I show how cute French knots look on knits. They’re especially šŸ˜ when a whole gaggle of them make up the center of a flower, like this one I call, Chrysie.

Vickie Howell - 278 Likes - When your kid comes to you with a Google Slide presentation for their Halloween costume, you take it seriously. When that costume is for a character from Canadian musical, @cyclone_musical , well, things get interesting. 

Clo wanted to model their version after original cast member @emilyrohm ā€˜s look. This posed two challenges: 1.) Nellie Olsen-style, blond ringlet wigs are hard to come by, and curling synthetic wig hair apparently takes more patience and skills than I have. Thanks to the @uttadaustin production, though, we were inspired to go with a different, more attainable doll-hair look.

 2) The grey, school uniform pinafore that for some reason, was ungettable in the size and time we needed. This meant, it was time to dust off the sewing machine.

I used @mccallpatterncompany M7141 for the skirt portion, then drafted my own pattern for the pinafore straps and modified the waistband to make it work. The result, our own Jane Doe, and thankfully another successful handmade Halloween.

Happy Halloween!

Vickie Howell - 243 Likes - 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?

Vickie Howell - 199 Likes - Recently, I’ve been pondering the state of the publishing industry, especially when it comes to print magazines. The recent discontinuation of publications like industry staples š™„š™£š™©š™šš™§š™¬š™šš™–š™«š™š š™†š™£š™žš™©š™Ø and š˜¾š™§š™¤š™˜š™š™šš™©, indie darling š™‹š™¤š™¢š™„š™¤š™¢š™ˆš™–š™œš™–š™Æš™žš™£š™š, and the quiet fading away of iconic cornerstone magazine š™‘š™¤š™œš™Ŗš™š š™†š™£š™žš™©š™©š™žš™£š™œ indicate that this medium is slowly disappearing.⁣
⁣
As a lover of physical media, this is disheartening. The hours of entertainment and relaxation magazines have offered over the years, not to mention the broadening of awareness of everything from techniques and patterns to worldwide makers and cultures, is incalculable. As a professional creative, I recognize how this negatively affects independent makers. Reflecting on my career, the medium that has been most consequential to me as a designer, spokesperson, and broadcaster has unquestionably been magazines. I’ve had the honor and privilege of being included in close to 200 print publications internationally, and I’m continually grateful for that support. ⁣
⁣
So, friends, just a shout-out to a medium I adore, and a few calls-to-action to show print media a little love. ⁣
⁣
šŸ‘‰šŸ¼ In the comments section, name a no-longer-published, maker-realm magazine(s) that you miss.⁣
⁣
šŸ‘‰šŸ¼Tag an existing magazine that you love, so that others can follow them, too.⁣
⁣
šŸ‘‰šŸ¼Support at least one, physical magazine by subscribing to it. ⁣
⁣
(See comments for my answers-to action)⁣
⁣
Print media foreva’! šŸ˜‰ (Psst.. pass it on.)

I’ve had the honor and privilege of being included in close to 200 print publications internationally, and I’m continually grateful for that support. ⁣ ⁣ So, friends, just a shout-out to a medium I adore, and a few calls-to-action to show print media a little love. ⁣ ⁣ šŸ‘‰šŸ¼ In the comments section, name a no-longer-published, maker-realm magazine(s) that you miss.⁣ ⁣ šŸ‘‰šŸ¼Tag an existing magazine that you love, so that others can follow them, too.⁣ ⁣ šŸ‘‰šŸ¼Support at least one, physical magazine by subscribing to it. ⁣ ⁣ (See comments for my answers-to action)⁣ ⁣ Print media foreva’! šŸ˜‰ (Psst.. pass it on.)

Vickie Howell - 175 Likes - I often get subscribers apologetically telling me how they're "behind on their [YarnYAY!] box projects". I try to ensure them that it is not a race. It's really important to me that my business be a source of self-care and creative inspiration, and not yet another thing that makes people feel like they're not doing enough. 

YarnYAY! boxes aren't about when or even if you get the respective projects done. They're about supporting small businesses while bringing you cool, beautiful items with the intent of putting a smile on your face. If you love finishing projects every month, then awesome! If you just enjoy any part of the process of knitting or crocheting our patterns, then wonderful! If just simply receiving, opening, and gazing at the yarns and goodies is great for you, then it's great for us! You do you, at your own pace. This is not a race. 

Our July Box, featuring the yarn and project I'm working with in this post is now available. Go to yarnyay.com (link in @vickiehowell bio) to subscribe. <3

Need a little knit-me-up in your life? Well, now you can get the Bubbly cowl pattern in my Ravelry shop (link in @vickiehowell bio). This is a fun project for all of those DK minis we love to collect, or scraps from your stash. Mine is knit in the gloriously technicolored shades from KRAEO.

Who’s ready for a little bubbly?

Vickie Howell - 127 Likes - 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!

Caption : 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! ā˜ļølink in @vickiehowell bio OR šŸ‘‰šŸ¼ YarnYAY.com #adventcalendar

Vickie Howell - 99 Likes - NEW PATTERN/KIT 🚨 (link in @vickiehowell bio)

Meet your new favorite, summer knit top, the Cropper Tee!

One day, I got the idea to try on the Cropper cardi backward, to see how it would look as the cropped tee shape I’ve been loving, lately. Lo and behold, it looked great, so we decided to rework the pattern to create a new garment, the Cropper Tee.
Don’t let the name fool you, though. If cropped isn’t your thing, it’s easy to add length by simply continuing in pattern stitch for as long as you’d like!

This piece is knit in two pieces and seamed at the sides and is inclusively sized with nine fit options. Get one of our kits, or build your own by downloading the digital pattern only and choosing the colors of your choice from my yarn line,  Montoya Merino Light!
