It’s that time of year again! October kicks off the holiday season, and it starts with one of our favorite holidays: I Love Yarn Day! A few years back, the lovely people at the Craft Yarn Council declared that the second Friday of every October would be I Love Yarn Day.
Whether you knit, crochet, or are an all-around fiber enthusiast, this is the holiday when you can shout your love of fiber from the mountain tops! Obviously, us here at AllFreeCrochet, AllFreeKnitting, and AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns have a passionate and all-consuming love for yarn, and we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than with all you other yarnies!
This year, I Love Yarn Day lands on October 10th, and like last year we’re going to be celebrating with a week of daily giveaways and free patterns from companies like Red Heart, Lion Brand, and Spin Rite.
Starting tomorrow, we’ll unveil a new pattern and prize from these amazing companies, all of which lead up to I Love Yarn Day. We’re talking free patterns and skeins upon skeins of yarn, all up for grabs! On top of all this, we’re having a grand prize giveaway! Wouldn’t you like to win all of the items in the picture below?
Make sure to visit Stitch and Unwind everyday this week to discover new patterns and enter to win fantastic prizes.
As if all of this was not enough, we’re bringing our love of yarn to Facebook and Google Plus! Check out AllFreeCrochet, AllFreeKnitting, and AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns Facebook Pages for mini-contests, and join Maria Segares on October 9th for a special Google Hangout!
Happy I Love Yarn Day, fiber enthusiasts!

I am going to give myself the time to sit and engineer a pattern for a lace shawl I love from the picture but just isn’t working out when i follow the printed pattern. Also spend some quiet meditative time on the prayer shawl I’m knitting in Misti Alpaca Baby Me Boo (a yarn I absolutely love).

I will be knitting on Yarn Day. I will finish a knit clutch purse and begin a new project, probably a scarf with a new stitch I have not tried yet.
I lov making things an now I’m teaching my little girls.
I will be doing what I do most days, crocheting either something I’m working on or trying a new pattern. It’s like I can’t get enough of yarn, crocheting, always downloading more patterns than I’ll probably ever use! It’s an addiction but at least it’s a good one! 🙂
By sharing and discussing online knitting sites and patterns with my step sister.
I have been crocheting and knitting since I was 12. My grandmother taught me. I am now 63 and still mostly crocheting. I like to give hand made presents for people for special occasions. I have stock piled sweaters sets for babies and also made sure my Grandkids have plenty of stuff in their closets. I have been forced to retire after and injury to my shoulder and having 7 surgeries. Not working has put an extreme crunch on my income and have had to really limit my yarn purchases. I would like to start some projects for Christmas but not really sure if this will happen. I would really like to win this because I really need the yarn to do these projects that would be impossible to complete if I do not get the yarn free from a contest like this. HELP!!
Being an obsessive yarn addict and hoarder I would love to do two things: pile it up in the middle if the room and jump in it like a pile of leaves, then spend the rest of the day reorganizing my hoard. WHAT FUN!!!!
I’m on my way to A.C. Moore for their yarn sale. Yeah!
My favorite holiday by far is “I Love Yarn Day” Anyone who knows me knows I don’t go anywhere without my yarn and crochet hooks.
I will be crocheting while I am baby sitting my youngest Grand Daughter.
I will look for patterns to make, or re made some olds one!
I like Christmas I enjoy knitting all my Christmas presents for everyone in my family to watch their faces to see something hand made it gives me great joy
I will buy yarn for my next project!
