Have you seen all those photos of yarn bombing? I think it’s such a fun idea. However since I am limited in my time I decided to do my own version. I call it my “Project in a bag” What I am doing is going around my city and other cities as I travel and hanging up these little bags. They contain 1 of my printed patterns, 1 plastic crochet hook (in the size needed for the project) and 1 skein of yarn. I am only choosing projects/patterns that use only 1 skein of yarn. The supplies have been purchased by me and are not sponsored by any company so you will have different brand yarns in the bags. I am also attaching my business card with a note on back that reads, “You found my gift. Enjoy it!” .
I left one of my little bags at a local park (they are in plastic to protect from water) and waited in the car to see if anyone would find it. A lady walking her dog found it within five minutes. She took it off the fence read the note and smiled ear to ear. Her friend then read the note too. They did a high five and left smiling ear to ear. I love spreading yarn happiness. : )
Be on the look out you may just find one of my bags in a town where you live. If you would like to enter for a chance to win one of my bags. (I will be giving away 10) then please do the following; 1) Become a member of this blog and 2) Leave a comment. Winner will be chosen in 2 weeks. The giveaway is open worldwide.

thank you Rosalyce
Yolanda what a wonderful idea and what fun to give some joy.

I do not know how to read crochet patterns therefore your “You Tube” tutorials are amazing. They make me look good when I finish a project. Thank you.
I’m so glad to help
keep watching the tutorials made from the Lion Brand Yarn and Red Heart patterns, then you can follow along. It will help you to start understanding how to read those patterns
I read about a similar yarn gift in a novel recently, I thought it was a great idea and love that you are doing it!
wow, really? that is great to hear
Love how you are sharing
thanks, this way I empty out some of my stash and share it with others
What a sweet way to pass the love of crocheting along to others. A very creative idea. Thanks for letting me enter.
thanks.. I love little surprises too
I think this is a great idea! I found you on YouTube when I was teaching myself crochet and then had you help me teach my then 8 year old (now 11) how to crochet. My 9 year old son is learning as we speak!
Wow, that is fantastic news. It makes me so happy to hear young people are learning to crochet.
Fret.are you going to be crocheting blanket,sweater and hat similar like the unique one you made
Thanks

Hi Yolanda! Just found you on YouTube when I was looking for a pattern to make baskets. Wonderful video by the way such a cute little baby basket! Of course that brought me to your blog here and I have to say I’m pretty excited to see the fun things you’re doing and looking forward to following along when I have time. I love this idea of spreading your own happiness as my five-year-old would say it gives me warm fuzzies
yes, then you don’t have to throw the things out after you finish : )
May God bless you in so many ways .I’m always on your YouTube channel trying to learn something new in crocheting. Thanks so much Yolanda.
thank you so much for your kind words Debbie
You make me already happy with all your art crafts, but of course i would love to get a yarn-bomb 🙂 You have inspired me to learn how to crochet and if i may say my self “i am getting better with every projects i try”. The next one is that beautiful baby dress you have on the top of this side in pink and white. Thank you so much for the patient way you do your tutorials, so new crothet-lovers like me can manage to follow! That`s a gift in it self for me. God bless and thank you so much for teaching me along with so many others.
This is so great! I enjoy your tutorials and all your crafts! I made my first bunny lovie and proudly have it displayed in my house, and show everyone who visits!! Thank you again for all you do!
