The Royal Reveal !!

Drum-roll please! 
Every fairy tale world has royal characters , and "Yarn Whirled" tm  is no exception! In England today, royal watchers eagerly welcomed The Royal Ascot Races 2017 as a chance to catch a glimpse of  the  British royal family in all of their festive finery. On this side of the pond, today marks the exciting launch of the newest book in my YarnWhirled series:

YARN WHIRLED: THE ROYAL FAMILY by Pat Olski

From Queen Elizabeth attired in an ermine trimmed cape at her coronation, and garbed in a bright coordinating hat and suit ensemble at her 90th birthday,  to the adorable Prince William and Princess Charlotte, there is a character for every book collector, anglophile, and crafter!

This amazing genealogy chart is one of my favorite parts of this book!

 Ascot wear abounds...

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie

As do medals and crowns!

These fun to make characters are made using my proprietary yarn craft "yarn whirled".

No needle-craft skill is required.   The book has simple to follow step by step photos and directions, so that any crafter can make their own royal characters, using nothing except yarn, and simple wrapping techniques!  Yarn Whirled: The Royal Family also includes a bonus section with patterns for some simple to crochet hats and accessories.

Creating the characters for this book was a wonderful journey.  It always amazes me that yarn can be transformed into so many incredible things, from the most beautiful and intricate sweaters, to enchanting characters.

 And, I have to confess that besides the yarn craft, which I always find to be relaxing, I thoroughly enjoyed doing the research for this book ! Fabulous blogs like the Royals Round- Up at GoFugYourself.com  and the orderofsplendor.blogspot.com
provided me with copious amount of information and inspiration, as well as hours of endless entertainment. I hope that you will enjoy making these regal characters as much as I have!
