I'm so excited to finally be able to announce that I'm a participating designer in the Fasten Off Yarn a Long this year!! This is the second year of this wonderful off-Ravelry, accessibility-focused, inclusive crafting event. If you've been following me for awhile now you probably know that I celebrate Christmas and love every minute of it. (It was always my most favorite time of year when I worked retail. Crazy, I know, but I love the joy and chaos.) Not everyone celebrates the holidays, though, and with all the folks who can't/won't use Ravelry anymore this event feels particularly good to get to participate in and support.
Today marks the beginning of the fun & we're kicking things off with a massive sale! Every participating designer has patterns available off-Ravelry for 25% off now through Dec. 6. Just enter the coupon code: FO2021 on any of their sites to get the discount.
I'm adding a bit extra to my sale by including everything in both my YumiYarns.com shop and my Ravelry shop. (Yup, everything! Patterns, yarn, project bags, tools... it's all 25% off with the coupon code.)
Once you've got your patterns purchased, join us in the FOYAL Discord Server, on Twitter, or on Instagram (my personal favorite) for chatter, encouragement, fun, & prizes throughout the month of December! I hope to see you and your projects in the event this month, if you decide to cast-on any of my patterns and share pics to IG please tag me ( @yumiyarns ) because I'll be giving out a few prizes throughout the month independent of the ones given out by the FOYAL mods.
I've got a few patterns from my fellow FOYAL designers that I've got my eye on so I've got those posted below along with links to get them yourself plus a few other goodies I think you might like. If you want to see a searchable database of all the designers & discounted patterns you can check it out & start your shopping. (All links are off-Ravelry)
Have fun & happy knitting!

Patterns that are Perfect for Advent Kits:
Starts at the corner (boomerang/Hitchhiker-style) so you can knit until you run out of yarn or it reaches a size you like. Shown here with a 13 mini-skein (20g) set.
Worked from the center-out in wedges so you get to decide the size of your shawl. For a 24 skein advent set, use 4 mini-skeins per wedge plus a full-sized accent color skein for the borders. Pattern includes a worksheet so that you can use any weight of yarn and any amount of yardage for this project (so both 10g or 20g minis will work). Shown here with 3 full-sized skeins of fingering-weight yarn in red, yellow, and grey as the accent.
