Last week we were so excited to tell you that the 7 Wonders Shrug was officially in the hands of the tech editor…

Well, this week we got news that tech-editing is almost done and we can begin preparing for test-knitting! GAH! It’s all happening!!

Those of you that graciously offered to test-knit this design, please keep a lookout in your inbox for messaging from us in about 2 weeks. We can't wait for you to see why we love this design so much!

If you are interested in becoming a test knitter / crocheter for VRK, or would like to specifically test knit the 7 Wonders Shrug please send an email to Testvanreyknits@gmail.com.

As for designs percolating behind the scenes, I am currently working on getting a fun new knitted accessory pattern out to you! Yarn pictured above! I’ve also been playing around with fab new granny square designs to fashion into something special that’ll have us crocheting together into the New Year!

And lastly, I am in talks with an exquisite yarn company about a truly decadent collaborative capsule collection for January at VKL 2024! Literally, couldn't be more excited!

Thank you all for twirling into the holiday season with me every week. It truly means the world. In the next 2 months the newsletter will be bi-weekly so we can redirect our attention to other exciting VRK projects, but you will find The Kn(IT) List back in your inbox on Friday, November 17th!

Until then… we hope you don't feel you need to justify your yarn stash to anyone… you don't need that kind of negativity in your life! 😉

May the calm and happiness of stitching visit you often.

See you soon!
