KnitCrate share

categories: General

Happy Wednesday All! It’s been a few days since I shared anything. Everybody has been sick around me! Thought I wasn’t going to get it again BUT ended up with another sinus infection! UGH! I’ve still got it a little bit but feeling much better today! I just wanted to pop on here and Share my January KnitCrate Box with you all! I just LOVE it!

I’ve done a few reviews when I started getting these Kits a few years ago and they don’t disappoint. They’ve been coming with a little extra goody inside as well! I do have to say I’m loving the new Pattern Booklet as well! In a few days I’ll show you last month’s kit as I’m going to be making that Scarf pattern it came it! LOVE it and the Yarn! I have to say I have NOT been disappointed with yarn either! So YUMMMY!

I’m loving Brooklyn Boy Knits! How awesome is that!  I think I just love when men knit/crochet in general.

The yarn is a great color as well!  I remember when his video went viral. 


Here is what came in the kit! I LOVE this color combination! How cute is that little Beanie?  This kit is a KnitCrate Membership. They also have a  Sock Crate Membership as well. Patterns are all in the booklet for either membership. They also have a Crochet/Knit patterns as well!  Not bad for the price.  The yarn alone is $24.00 each.  I can’t wait to make something with this yarn! 
If you want to see what KnitCrate has to offer check them out here!  KnitCrate

Well that’s it for now. I’m working on things to share later. I’m getting videos lined up just waiting for my voice to come back. 

As always thank you for stopping by until next time Happy Crafting!

Quick Review and more….

categories: General

Hey all Wow June 1st already! School is almost out here (June 7th, 2018) and my son will be promoting to 9th grade! Yikes!!!  How time flies! Seems like yesterday he was starting Kindergarten!

Anyway, just a quick update on the Faye Doll CAL – The video is almost done for those that are visual OR that just like to follow along. My Mom had cataract surgery and was planning my Daughters Baby Shower. Not busy at all! I’ll for sure share her gifts I made in another post. Can’t wait to meet my Granddaughter “Alana” coming July 2nd!!  But the videos are just about done and I’m editing them now.

So I was asked to do a review by a Company called “KnitCrate” –  It’s a monthly subscription based program featuring their in-house premium yarn brands PLUS 2 exclusive patterns (1 knitting, 1 crochet).  I added the photo of the May kit which I believe you can still get! I was NOT disappointed!

The yarn is absolutely gorgeous! You get 2 skeins.  I don’t  knit but I do crochet! Can’t wait to make something with this yarn.  The pictures don’t do this justice at all!

If you are interested in trying this out OR just to get more information click KNITCRATE
for more details.  If you are interested use Coupon Code: YVONNE20 for additional 20% off your 1st month.

Thank you so much for stopping by and until next time….

Hookin’ for a Cause

Knitting Rays of Hope DonationHi Crafters!  Just wanted to post real quick about a website I came upon last year when I started Looming.  It’s called Knitting Rays of Hope.  They make hats for Cancer Warriors, Babies in the NICU and a few other causes.  I believe they just started in 2012 so this site is farely new.

I just sent this package last week filled with hats mostly for boys but my daughter and I also made some for the girls.  We plan on making more to send hopefully in a few month!

If you have been wanting to make and donate hats you’ve got to check them out! I know there are LOTS of places but just had to share this one too!  PLUS they have some great hats for the Loom too which you can find HERE!
I know they have a Minion one that I am for sure going to try.  If you have thought about Looming they’ve got some GREAT tips and how to’s on the site also! As I mentioned that’s how I found them!  So CLICK HERE to check them out!  As always thanks for stopping by &

Happy Craftin’,
