Humans That Yarn

This year's #StitchAwayStress campaign is all about highlighting Humans That Yarn! All month long, we will be sharing stories from yarnists across the U.S. and encouraging you to share your story through our yarn census.

Ready for a fun project?

Make lemons into lemonade!

Make a lemon pillow of your own and make one to brighten someone else's day. Designed by crochet artist extraordinaire Twinkie Chan, it's cuddly and squeezable, and like the lemon stress ball Twinkie designed several years ago, a great stress reliever.

Lemon Blanket Section Pattern

When life gives you lemons ... crochet one! #StitchAwayStress this April by crocheting a cute lemon blanket section. You can donate this section to Warm Up America! to help bring awareness to Stress Awareness Month. This is a fun project that you'll crochet with some basic colorwork or intarsia.
