Field trip with our kid to the exact place their parents met, 18 years ago this month. 🎸😍 #sxsw #stubbsbbq
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. 😿
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.💗 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! 😉 #knittygritty #knitting #crochet
I’m happy to announce my Mini Woven Patch virtual class as the first installment of my “One & Done Series”, 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, 3” 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 Moth holes, we’re coming for you! 😉
NEW Class 🚨 Alert: You asked for it, and your wish is my command! I’m hosting a new, virtual course on how to knit Two-at-Time, Toe Up Slipper Socks. Let’s hangout and knit for a spell! Click on the link in my @vickiehowell bio to learn more! #knitting #onlineclasses #sockknitting
Super fun collab with my kid on an outfit for their theater company’s end-of-year banquet. I call this look, “Hedy, Meet Ziggy. Ziggy, Meet Hedy”. 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 appliqué stars • Organza outerwear. Simple, 2-seam “robe” I sewed with 20’s-inspired cocoon shape • Star headdress I created with armature wire, floral wire, beaded appliqués, 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!
Oh, hi, sewing FO! Sew-fo? The Japanese, quilted fabric I bought during COVID is finally living its best life as a cropped jacket. I left the house today, in not-black, so I consider this a momentous occasion. 😉 Pattern: #sandajacket by @merchantandmills True confession: I do not enjoy working with bias tape. It makes me curse. Thatisall. #madebyme #sewing #quiltedcoat #memade

Not to brag, but I just finished the quilt for my highschool freshman’s toddler bed! 👏🏼 In other words, I now have a quilt for the couch in my home office (because there’s nothing about these colors that my teenager would find even vaguely acceptable today.) 😝 #betterlatethannever
Huge props and appreciation to @wineforthepeople for accommodating us, at the last minute, at their GORGEOUS new space in Fredericksburg. 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. 🌞🌑 Oh, and of course, perfection of moments was achieved by sipping their Dandy Rosé during the whole experience. 🍷 #eclipse2024
