Having a ball with the @jamesriveryarncrawl What a weekend! #theyarnclub #jryc #jryc2022 #jamesriveryarncrawl (at The Yarn Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdllz_XLMeS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I first envisioned this project on the road to visit @centeroftheyarniverse and @danceswithwoolrva, the first two of my four stops on the inaugural @jamesriveryarncrawl. My other two stops on the crawl were @theflyingneedlesyarn and my own LYS at the time, @yarnmatters. Sometimes a design concept comes from the yarn but sometimes it comes all on its own, suddenly, like lightening striking in a moment of inspiration, and then I have to find the yarn to bring it to life! So at each shop I visited, I looked for locally dyed yarn in colors that reminded me of my own time on the rivers there in Virginia. The river in my pictures is (shhh) actually in Texas, where we moved just a week after the yarn crawl last year! I'm so pleased to finally be able to share the pattern with you. Thank you SO much to my tech editor @jamesbartley.co.uk as well all of my fabulous testers, including Donna, @keinaphels, @shabelcreations, and @sandhyakarandikar. You all ROCK!! The pattern is available on Ravelry as well as in my new Etsy shop and you can save 10% for the pattern launch with coupon code windingriver, now through August 16th at 11:59 CT. Enjoy!⁠ ⁠ Featured dyers: @littlefoxyarn, @kimdyesyarn, @robinspromise, @the.fiberists, @baad_mom_yarns, @urbangirlyarns, @temptingeweyarn, and @wise_owl_crafts ⁠ ⁠ #jamesriverwrap #jamesriveryarncrawl #littlefoxyarn #kimdyesyarn #robinspromiseyarn #thefiberists #baadmomyarns #urbangirlyarns #temptingeweyarns #wiseowlfiber #centeroftheyarniverse #danceswithwoolrva #theflyingneedles #yarnmatters #crochetpattern #createandgrowchallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/CDeo0SLJNyy/?igshid=kkuf81u7zwqw
