LGBTQIA+ Pride month may be over, but we’re still here and our Prize Draw is still open to entries!

Our Goal with Crafting Queer Future is to raise money to support LGBTQIA+ people across the world for a better brighter and most importantly safe future. We’re starting this project by raising funds for charities and organisations that support this/our community and by direct mutual aid. You can check out the Prize draw here.

There are 22+ prizes and three days left to enter, so don’t walk run over to the crowdfunder and join us now!

If Prize draws and delayed gratification aren’t your thing then grab a copy of the new Balance Shawlette pattern on Payhip or Ravelry and you’ll still be putting money towards a good cause as all the proceeds for July will go directly to the crowdfunder organisations.

Balance as a shawlette draws on the idea of duality and perceived imbalance, whilst showing that all our varied differences make completeness and balance. With it we’re celebrating and fighting for queer joy. Using sets of eyelets to symbolise difference, and copying them on each side as if in a flip of a coin, or a look in the mirror, these disparate parts make a whole.

Designed using the yarn Chastity of Kitty Pride Fibres dyed for the Crafting Queer Future project, the Kaleidoscope shawlette takes two skeins in Tabby DK.

If you’re looking for other yarns that support this project check out Fight for the Queers, my yarn dyed for an upcoming pattern Yu Ra of knitboop has designed for our project.

Hope you’ll join us and have a wonderful weekend. Happy Disability Pride Month!

Salutations!

It’s been a while and a busy February. With March upon us, alongside the wonderful hints of spring, I wanted to sprinkle a little joy into this budding month!

This new pattern celebrates the intertwined and changing nature of craft and industry in history. It features garter stitch with a stranded intarsia interlocking cable. Unravel & Entwine is a two-size shawl that can be knit up with 120g of 4ply for a shawlette or 250g for the big squishy shawl of your dreams. It’s now available via our Payhip and Ravelry shop. If you’re more of a DK fan, you can switch things up and break out the DK yarns for it too!

We’ve also got a fantastic shop update for you this Friday, 3rd March, featuring mini sets like Beachcombing (inspired by shell collecting FOMO), Enchanting as the Sunset and more. There’s also an update to our Loading Bar collection of colourways with Stray and the Last Campfire, inspired by two wonderful adventure/puzzle exploration games. All of our Loading bars will be getting the update, though a couple are taking a little longer to load. 😉 The Loading Bar collection is inspired by video games and with this new update they are perfect for your assigned/planned pooling projects.

The Newest Yarn Club from Third Vault Yarns has just launched and is open for sign ups. In The Vaulter’s Book Club you get themed yarn and a specially designed pattern, with an extra and a sweet treat. (If you’re outside the UK this is also a great opportunity to try some UK sweets, even if we know it’s all about the yarn!).

The book/series chosen for each installment of Book Club will either be free or have a nominal cost in ebook form allowing everyone to join in. Book Club discussion will occur either on Ravelry or in The Vault Facebook group.

The First edition of Book Club is inspired by the I Bring the Fire series by C. Gockel.

So what are you waiting for? Join our sci-fi and fantasy-themed book club, sign up for some yummy yarn and treats and settle down with the first book of the series.
