LAST DAY OF THE SALE IS ALMOST HERE!!!
December 5 (ET) is our very last day of this year's #FastenOffYAL discount period! Once December 5 is over in the Eastern timezone, that's it!

December 3 is the International Day for Persons with Disabilities
#IDPD. This day promotes an understanding of disability issues, and mobilizes support for the dignity, rights, and well-being of people with disabilities.
We're big into this kind of support - it's one of the principles (perhaps the most crucial principle!) upon which our event was founded.

How does the stitchalong part of our event work?

IT’S LIVE! My very first Tunisian crochet design is officially launched. I’m very proud 💜
The Deel Shawl is a symmetrical triangular design. It has a modular construction that creates two triangles that are joined halfway. One half is worked horizontally and the other half vertically. It uses the Tunisian simple stitch and is suitable for adventurous beginners and includes photo tutorials.

Our stitchalong starts with a two-week discount period, so that you can get yarnalong-eligible patterns at a reduced cost! This year, the discount period runs from 9pm on Friday, November 22, to the end of Thursday, December 5 (all times ET).

So now the #FastenOffYAL is finished I still have several wips started during the yarnalong. One of them are these Tunisian crochet mittens. They are working up so toasty due to how Tunisian crochet creates stitches. Once the left hand is done, 2 thumbs and cuffs are all that's left.

Over the moon with my new hat! The design is Kourserb by @WoollyWormhead and it's such a fun knit, especially with this gorgeous handspun I acquired from a spinner. As you can see, the inside looks good to.
