Greetings, Beautiful Friends!

I hope you all had a fabulous week full of sunshine! The last couple of weeks have kept me super busy! I’ve been spending time with my kiddos on their Spring Break, taking care of some health stuff, and doing my best to finish up two accessory pattern designs, which are all knit this time, no crochet. Can you even believe it?

You’ve already met Le Backpack, but today I’d like to introduce Le Cinch, the 2nd of the three sister designs. A fab corset belt with a textured basket weave design (pictured below). Your new instant favorite accessory! It gives a beautiful waist to all those shapeless summer mumu dresses and tells everyone your knitting isn't just for show… it has function too! If you’ve been following along, you know the Le Fanny bag, the 3rd of the three sister designs, has been on its way for a while. Well, its debut is almost here! This knitted belt bag is sure to be a summer fave as you traipse about in your sun-friendly garbs. But did you know it’s the last installment of the Le Trio Collection?

Let’s take another look at the three sister designs of Le Trio and get super excited for the upcoming Knit-Along slated for early June, where we can make one or all of them together! You just need to purchase one of the 3 “Le Trio” patterns (the belt or one of the bags) to join in. There will be prizes, community Zoom hangs and fun! But for now…

It's the VanRey (Kn)IT LIST, Three Sisters Edition!!

Beyond Le Trio!

Beyond the three patterns above, I’m working away on my exclusive design for this years Chelsea Yarns Advent calendar! What an honor and a privilege it is to have been asked by Christina to design for this year’s holiday countdown mini-skein box! I’m super excited and can’t wait to share that design with you! Want a sneak peak? All I can say is: FRINGE!!!!

Dani and I have also been tossing-around some new concepts to further build community here at VanReyKnits! You all know we love classic rock and it has definitely been inspiring some new ideas for both get-togethers and soon to be released products. We also would love some of your input, so please don’t ever hesitate to DM us with your ideas!

And lastly, the newsletter will be taking on a new format to allow us more time to work on products and designs here at VRK, so you will only be hearing from us in newsletter form once a month. Should we have a new release or info to get out to you, an email will certainly go out with details for that specific happening…

Until Next Time…

May your days be full of sunshine, endless inspiration and the spreading of kindness.

Thank you for your continued support. Means the world!!

XO, Vanessa
