Have I mentioned lately, how much I love yous guys? No? Well, I do. Without the messages from a few readers, I wouldn't have known that Sheep(ish)--the 1st yarn in my Stitch.Rock.Love line through Caron-- is available NOW (2 weeks early) at JoAnn Etc. stores across the nation!
Over the weekend we went to the Austin store (at Arbor Walk) to check it out, and *squeal*, Sheep(ish) was there! The free pattern sheets from my designs haven't arrived yet, but there'll be 4 available in stores next week(ish). In the meantime, here's a list of some of my previous, free patterns that would work up well in Sheep(ish):
- Doris Scarf
- Mr. Fluffs Amigurumi Cat
- Urban Jungle Beanie
- Urban Planner Beanie
- Whirlwind Wrap
- Clo Petite Poncho
- Sophie Poncho
- Shady Beanie
- Cardigan Neutral (double stranded)
- Dave Scarf
- Teensy Capelet
- Peacock Scarf
- Purple Skein Wrist Warmers
- Rosie Posie Bag
- Cowlkerchief (double stranded)

Wondering if the JoAnn near you carries Sheep(ish)? Well, thanks to web-girl-wonder Jenny, you can consult the store finder on my website! Check that out here.
Don't worry though, if you don't have a store near you. Buy.Caron.com has all 21 colors available and ready to ship to anywhere in the U.S., Canada, UK & Australia!
Lastly, I really get a kick out of seeing the endcaps at stores across the country. I started a "Sheep(ish) Spotting" album on my Facebook page of shots that people send me from their local store. Keep sending 'em to me--I really appreciate it!
As always, thanks for the support. I couldn't be prouder of my new yarn. The colors are beautiful, it's delightful to work with, and it's affordable. Hope you love it as much as I do!
Stay tuned for weekly patterns using Sheep(ish) delivered through the Caron Connections newsletter, starting tomorrow! If you haven't signed up already, you can do so on their site.
Stitch.Rock.Love,

I'm bummed. My local JoAnns never has any of the good stuff. I wanna touch it and see the colors in person. Sigh. I'm very happy for you, though!
ReplyDeleteOMG I will be partaking in sending you a
ReplyDeletesheep(ish) sighting! I'm out to hunt for some to make a cheshire cat with!
Hoping to find it in Canada! Will be on the lookout!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see it in the stores.
ReplyDeleteI work at the JoAnn's store in Independence, MO. I had the pleasure of setting the endcap for the Sheep(ish) line. The yarn feels wonderful and the colors are so saturated. I will be directing many of our customers to trying it for their many projects. In fact, before I was even finished setting them out, I had a gal wanting to buy some. Congratulations on a line well done!!!
ReplyDeleteWendy--Thank you so much for sharing that! That's really nice to hear. :)
ReplyDeleteI saw it at the Joann's here in Melbourne Florida. It really caught my eye(ish). Can't wait to knit(ish) with it(ish)!!!
ReplyDeleteYou rock(ish) Vickie!!! and CONGRATs(ish) :-)
