Rewards, VK Live Recap, Crochet w/ Michael Sellick
|
Inspired by Mindy, our wonderful HR Liaison, and 2 year breast cancer survivor, we've curated the Boobie Beanie Hat Kit. Feeling the impact of Mindy's breast cancer journey, we wanted to do our part to support Mindy, and other warriors like her, in their own journeys.
Show your support for the warriors in your life, by knitting or crocheting a Boobie Beanie for you or a loved one. Each knit kit comes with the yarn and Toufosion Hat pattern, designed by Frauke Ludwig, and each crochet kit comes with the yarn and Textured Beanie pattern, designed by Alessandra Hayden. Additionally, each kit also comes with a matching AheadHUNTER pom pom, a darning needle, and a breast cancer ribbon tag, all packaged in a pink Oh Snap wristlet - just what you'll need to craft a stylish accessory! Available in two gorgeous mauve colorways, Mindy's Mauve or Hakuna Matatas, you can look good, while doing good!
Every Boobie Beanie Hat Kit sale results in a $5 donation to Breastcancer.org, an organization that strives to provide much needed support for women, men, and their loved ones affected by breast cancer. We are proud to partner with them for the 2nd year in a row!

Pretty In Pink!
Need a I Love Handles Wrist Ruler to match your Boobie Beanie? We've got you covered! Available in a beautiful petal pink shade, $2.50 (10%!) from every Petal sale will be donated to Breastcancer.org. These leather bracelets are perfect for measuring your work on-the-go, while showing your support for breast cancer warriors everywhere!

We Came, we Saw, We VKL'd!

We had the best time at VK Live in San Francisco this past weekend! We loved meeting all of you, chatting with all of you, and, most importantly, crafting with all of you! You guys loved (loved!) SmartStix, and we were so excited to share them with you, along with some other new products, including our revival of Namaste handbags! (More on that to come soon - keep an eye on future newsletters!) See you soon, friends - we'll be at VK Live in Minneapolis in November!

Can we let you in on a secret? We're really, really big fans of knitwear designer, Joji Locatelli. Huge. Like, we'd-give-up-chocolate-for-life-if-we-had-a-chance-to-hang-out-with-her huge. Okay, okay, that might not be such a secret, we did partner with her for our 2018 Craftvent Calendar knit design after all, but we've admired Joji's work from afar for years!
When it came time to find a designer for this year's Craftvent Calendar project, Joji was at the top of our 'dream' list. You know, the kind of list that you make, full of goals you're not sure are attainable? (Yep, we make those kinds of lists too!) We reached for the stars and were over the moon, when Joji agreed to partner with us! And, as they say, the rest is history!
Joji was tasked with no small feat - combine 5 different yarn brands into one cohesive project. Not only did she meet our expectations, she surpassed our wildest dreams! The wrap that Joji created is simply a stunning work of art. There's no other way to describe it! Draped fabrics, simple lines, and lots of details - Joji's style is the epitome of striking a balance between classic and fun!
Head over to the blog for more on Joji's designs, including photos of the stunning wrap that she designed for Craftvent 2018!

Happy Fall, Ya'll!
As we head into October, we've got fall on the brain! Leaves are falling, pumpkin spice lattes abound, and flannel becomes a seasonal staple. Warm days and chilly nights lend themselves perfectly to, what else... CRAFTING! We've been on the hunt for a new stash staple, and we found what we think is the perfect fall fiber blend - Sugar Bush Rapture! This llama and merino blend is available in heathered hues that will make any fall garment truly shine!

Project On Our Needles
Rowan's Solveig Hat
Our lovely Bean, Alex, modeled the super soft, extra comfy, slightly slouchy Solveig hat, designed by Arne & Carlos! This knit beanie uses only 1 ball of Rowan Felted Tweed for the main body and 1 ball of Rowan Kidsilk Haze for the snowflake pattern on the sides! The perfect combination of comfort and detail make this one a winter staple!
