Reminder: Stitch Away Stress + Giveaway!

November 16, 2015 by Stitch&Unwind

#StitchAwayStress Lemon Drive

We’re now halfway through our #StitchAwayStress Big Apple Lemon Drive and boy, are we feeling stress-free! In case you missed our first post about it, Stitch & Unwind have partnered up with the Craft Yarn Council for their Big Apple Lemon Drive from November 2-30 and we’ve been working up lemons like crazy, as you can see in the video below! We’ll be collecting donations of knit and crochet lemons until November 30th, so send in as many as you can and you’ll be entered to win this giveaway from our friends at Jimmy Beans Wool!

The Craft Yarn Council is planning to distribute knit and crochet lemon stress balls on Tax Day, the most stressful day of the year, to raise awareness about the stress-relieving benefits of knitting and crochet.

We’ve filmed a few video tutorials for you if you need a little help starting out and rest assured, these lemons are super quick to make. Join the lemon party and get started!


Knit Lemon Pattern

If knitting needles are your weapon of choice, work up this adorable knitting pattern created by blogger Twinkie Chan for the Craft Yarn Council. You’ll need to stuff the lemon with fiberfill in order to give it that round, squishy look.


Crochet Lemon Pattern

And here’s the crochet version of the lemon pattern! Equally as sweet (or sour!) and equally as stress-busting. Whichever you decide to work up, you’ll be helping the cause and having fun along the way.

We will be collecting all donated lemons at our offices in Northbrook, IL. Please send your lemons to:

Why Donate?

Aside from the warm fuzzies you’ll feel from helping out a good cause, by donating a knit or crochet lemon you can also be entered to win this Berroco Bento Box in Kobai (Red Plum)! There’s no better way to get a feel for Berocco yarn than with this cute sampler, and it includes a free cowl pattern if you’re looking for inspiration.
