Once you're in the channel, you'll find discount codes for patterns (and yarn if you need it!). This is low-stress, high-fun, so come join us! We'd really love to see you.
5 lucky participants will win a FREE skein of yarn! So if you want a chance, you know what to do. Cuz I already said it.

And there's still room for you, YES YOU! To join this 6-week low-key, no drama, just joy and fun and stitches.
Hop on over to carijehlik.com where you will find the way to Discord on the homepage, peruse the shop to find your cowl, or head over to Expression Fiber Arts and see my patterns there.

Once in there, you will find more details, coupon codes, and links to get started.

If you have already purchased a cowl pattern from me and maybe haven't yet gotten it started, come on in! Let this be the impetus to get those stitches rolling.

Join with me, @fleurangeapparel, @creation_miss_couture, @finnishedknits, @alainnyarns, and Quirky Fiber Werks to have some restful, peaceful crafty time. The QR code will get you a link to my Discord server where the (chill) party will be happening.

I am also offering a 20% discount on ALL of my cowls for participants, plus a 10% discount on any of my patterns for the duration.

At the end, 5 randomly selected participants will win a free skein of yarn from one of five participating indie dyers plus a brand new kerchief cowl pattern from me.

An intentional space of peace and rest, one stitch at a time, with a group of other crafty folks? A Cowl-Along, if you will.

You can stash bust for this or check out a new yarn (with exclusive discounts for the cowl-along group). The discounts will run through the duration of the Cowl-Along.

8. Build a network of other yarnie friends who really believe in you. Especially when you don't believe in yourself.
9. Mastering and overcoming imposter syndrome is a constant thing. It's always there. Practice believing in yourself. Fake it.
10. Know your value and pay yourself.

6. There comes a time when you DO need to spring for outside help, even if cash is tight. Sometimes "you can't afford NOT to" is true, but the price still needs to be in the not-going-into-debt-for-it range.
7. Find. Business. Friends. Mutual. Professional. Support.

4. Doing The Craft and doing The Business are two completely, entirely, absolutely different skills. If you're pretty good at one of them, you may not really be great at the other one.
5. Freelance work is a great start, BUT know your value. Be brave about compensation.

2. Counting. Omg the counting. SO MUCH COUNTING. And still getting it wrong 30% of the time.
3. Sales are nice, yes (and frankly I wish I had more) BUT not NEARLY as satisfying as FINISHING THE THING AND OMG IT WORKED!!! Just like the numbers SAID it would work! And it fits! ON a body! A REAL BODY!

Oh no! I took right from their webpage!

www.busyewefarmfibers.com Try that and go to their yarns. It's fingering weight.

It's not really self striping, I don't think, but I've only used it in Tunisian crochet, so it behaves differently than it would in knit or crochet.

Oooh, this is Busy Ewe Farms Zebra Fling.
