Introduction

Hello, fellow crafters and yarn enthusiasts! Welcome to Llama Mama, Kayla's Yarn Tube. I'm Kayla, and I'm thrilled to have you here. Today, I want to share some exciting updates and projects I've been working on. From making adorable snail crafts to finding yarn deals, and even participating in a cat parade collaboration, there's a lot to cover. So, let's dive right in!

The Importance of Staying Cool in Hot Weather

As I begin recording this video, I can't help but notice how scorching hot it is outside. Phoebe, my sleepy Chihuahua, seems to share the sentiment as she seeks comfort in my arms. With temperatures reaching a staggering 106 degrees, it's essential for us to find ways to stay cool. Before we delve into the crafty goodness, I'd love to hear about the temperature in your area. Let's make staying cool our top priority today!

Making a Cute Snail Craft

Now, let's move on to the exciting craft I recently completed. My son, Elijah, requested a little snail to adorn his plant shelf, and I happily obliged. The snail turned out incredibly cute, thanks to the combination of Red Heart buff and Mainstay gold yarn. If you're looking for a quick, enjoyable project, this snail is a perfect choice. I'll be sharing the pattern from the Kawaii Garden Crochet book, filled with adorable plant-inspired creations.

Finding Yarn Deals at Michaels

You won't believe the incredible bargain I stumbled upon during a recent trip to Michaels. Usually, my local store isn't known for its yarn clearance selection, but this time, I hit the jackpot. I found a beautiful jumbo yarn called Loops and Threads Echo Tie Dye, originally priced at $9.99 per skein, for only $2! With a vibrant colorway called "Out of Sight Shades," this eco-friendly yarn made from recycled acrylic is a steal. I couldn't resist grabbing four skeins, and I've already started working on a massive project using it.

The Project I'm Working on with Loops and Threads Echo Tie Dye Yarn

Currently, I'm immersed in a substantial project that showcases the versatility and vibrancy of the Loops and Threads Echo Tie Dye yarn. It's crucial to note that each skein only contains 82 yards, which explains the incredible clearance price. Nevertheless, armed with a 9mm crochet hook, I conquered this jumbo yarn, resulting in a stunning creation. Unfortunately, I can't reveal all the details just yet, as I'm waiting for my son, Elijah, to assist me in completing the final steps. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting project!

Joining the Cat Parade Collaboration

Calling all cat lovers and craft enthusiasts! I want to extend a special invitation to join me in the Cat Parade collaboration. In this unique endeavor, we celebrate all things feline by creating cat-themed crafts and sharing them with the world. The concept is simple; you can crochet, loom knit, needle knit, draw, paint, or even create a diamond painting featuring cats. Let your imagination run wild and send in your photos to be part of an unforgettable cat parade.

How to Participate in the Cat Parade

Participating in the Cat Parade collaboration is as easy as 1, 2, 3. First, create your cat-themed craft using any medium of your choice. It can be a traditional yarn craft, a beautiful painting, or even a whimsical polymer clay creation. There are no limitations to your creativity. Second, take a clear photo of your masterpiece and send it to me via email. Remember to include "Cat" in the subject line, making it easier for us to organize the parade. Finally, sit back, relax, and eagerly await the Cat Parade video where your creation will be showcased alongside fellow cat enthusiasts.

Different Types of Cat Crafts

When it comes to cat crafts, the possibilities are endless. Whether you're into crochet, painting, or even baking, you can incorporate cats into your chosen medium. In collaboration with April Lee from Be Wild by April Lee, we are both crafting cats using the same pattern from the Emma Neko Rame Neko book. While we primarily use yarn for our creations, don't feel limited to this medium. Get creative and let your artistic skills shine.

Adding Personal Touches to the Cat Parade

The beauty of the Cat Parade collaboration is that each participant gets to add their personal touch. If you own a cat, don't hesitate to include a photo of your furry friend alongside your craft. Funny cat pictures are also welcome, as they add an element of humor to the parade. Remember, the goal is to celebrate all things feline, so let your imagination roam free.
