๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿงถ THE BASKET HAS A NEW HOME! ๐Ÿงบโค๏ธ

I am so excited to finally be able to tell you that the Samโ€™s Yarn Basket website is officially OPEN!

This is something Iโ€™ve wanted to create for a while โ€” one cosy little corner where you can find my patterns, see whatโ€™s happening around the Basket, keep up with our projects and shows, and discover new yarny goodies as they are added.

๐Ÿงถ Patterns
๐Ÿ›๏ธ The Samโ€™s Yarn Basket Shop
๐Ÿงบ Project Basket
๐Ÿ“… Whatโ€™s On
โค๏ธ Basketeers
โ€ฆand plenty of room for the Basket to keep growing!

There are only a few goodies in the shop to begin with, but thatโ€™s rather appropriate โ€” every basket has to start with its first few skeins! ๐Ÿ˜

I would absolutely LOVE for you to come over, have a wander around and tell me what you think.

๐ŸŒ Visit Samโ€™s Yarn Basket:

Thank you to everyone who watches, chats, comments, crafts along and supports Samโ€™s Yarn Basket. You are the reason I wanted to build a proper home for our wonderful yarny community.

All for Yarn and Yarn for All! ๐Ÿงถโค๏ธ

Southern Sisters is on my channel this week. We are going to think about what we would tell our beginner selves about crochet or knitting to give us a better start to the craft.

Just a quick jog from VJ's will bring you to this weeks Hook and Sip.
I'm making a summer top (holey) out of some gorgeous 100 cotton in a coral colour, using a stitch I created when designing and making Mrs Weasleys Caridgan.

5pm Eastern (US)
Finishing up the Izzy cat doll, putting on eyes and a nose.
Skill required, The Kitchener Stitch. As usual there will be a slower more detailed tutorial for those learning the Kitchener stitch for the first time (at the end of the live).
For the rest I will show it during the live, as we stuff our... er... cat, give it a nose and eyes and finalise the ears. See you there!

After a quick kitchen dash via the bathroom, come join me as I look closely at Vicuna yarn, once known by the Incas as "The Golden Fleece".
