Seriously, how

cool!), it's really and truly the tenth anniversary of I Love Yarn Day. I am not making this up.
This news is so exciting, it
doesn't even need music, but there's a surprise there for you as well.

BONUS CROCHET PATTERNS: |
Linda Permann's I Heart Yarn Badge - "I love yarn because it
is soft, colorful, and soothing to touch. I love to pore over the colors
and fibers, petting each one and determining what it might want to
become. To me, a ball of yarn represents endless possibilities, and it's
so fulfilling to make exactly what I want from a pretty ball of string." Ellen Gormley's Icy Day Cowl - "Ellen designed the Icy Day Cowl to join in with I love Yarn Day. It has many of the features Ellen loves about crochet. The cowl allows the Yarn to be the star! When meeting a new luscious yarn, the first thing I want to do is ‘hug’ it. A cowl is perfect for holding yarn near. Yarn allows creativity while making a productive, functional item. Nothing is more satisfying that making a beautiful item that can be used." Vanna White's Mitered Diamonds Throw - "My love of yarn began when my grandmother taught me to crochet. Crafting was so much more than a hobby to her. It was a way to share her love with everyone around her. As a mother, it was important for me to pass on my love of yarn. Now, my daughter and I love to shop for yarn and crochet together. I’m thrilled to be able to share my affordable, easy-care yarns so that everyone can share their love with the people who matter most." |
