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.)
Vickie Howell Instagram - Dear YarnYAY! Community & Supporters,⁣
⁣
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. 😉 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. 😜

📝Daley Hex Cardi by @sarao_designs

👷‍♀️Modifications: I added about 6” in length to the body, granny square pockets, and knit rib sleeve cuffs 

🧶 Leftover Woolpaca from my discontinued, co-branded yarn lines with Deramores

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 - #tbt 2015 Annual Knit Simple Magazine (R.I.P.) photo shoot for my former column. For this one, I coerced my middle kiddo Tristan, into modeling so we could take a mother-son trip to NYC. I’ve been able to do so many wonderful things in the name of knitting. 💗

Vickie Howell Instagram - A.I. is weird.🎄Happy Christmas Eve!
#merryme
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, “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!

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 ‘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 - 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.

Vickie Howell Instagram - 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.) 😝

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?

Vickie Howell Instagram - 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. 🍷

Vickie Howell Instagram - Happy Christmas from my fam to yours! 🎄💗
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

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. ⁣ ⁣ (Continue reading in comments)

(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. 😻

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 - 304 Likes - 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!

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 ‘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 - 253 Likes - 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.) 😝

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?

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. 🍷

Vickie Howell - 176 Likes - 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 - 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
