Favorite Things Holiday Collection from Yankee Candles

by

 “My Favorite Things” is Yankee Candle Company’s newest limited- time holiday candle collection. They come in jars, tumblers and pretty packaged votives.

Does anyone remember “My Favorite Things” from the movie The Sound of Music? “When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I’m feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don’t feel so bad!” It’s stuck in my head now.

New Yankee Scent Names:

The new scents include these favorite things from the song: Warm Woolen Mittens, Blue Satin Sashes, Crisp Apple Strudel, Raindrops on Roses, Bright Copper Kettles and Moon on Their Wings.

“We really challenged ourselves with this project to bring memories of this inspired song to life through fragrance,” said Hope Margala Klein, senior vice president, brand, design and innovation for The Yankee Candle Company, Inc. “What do ‘warm woolen mittens’ smell like? You’ll have to pick up a jar and find out and be sure to collect them all, they will not be in stores long!”

According to the press release, Warm Woolen Mittens smells like “just cleaned and warmed by the stove … a cozy scent with notes of lemon, apple, lily and musk.” It sounds divine.

Find the new collection in stores, gift shops or at YankeeCandle.com.

Let’s Make the Lowink Beginners Blanket TOGETHER

We’re kicking off June 1st (plenty of time to order your kit and hide it from your cat/kids/overzealous cleaning habits). Every Saturday, we’ll tackle a new chunk of the pattern together—with plenty of moral support for when your yarn does that weird loopy thing (you know the one).

Let’s Make the Let’s Make the Lowink Beginners Blanket

Here’s How This Works:

Week 1 (June 1-7):

  •  Procrastinator’s Shopping Spree
    “Wait, I need what size hook?!” – Check your kit (or raid your stash)
    “But what if I pick the wrong color?!” – Post your yarn options in the comments and let us vote!

Week 2 (June 8-14):

  •  The “Oh God, Why Is My Edge So Wobbly?” Phase
    I’ll go live on Instagram to demo how to fix the classic beginner blunders (and yes, we’ll laugh about it afterward).

Week 3 (June 15-21):

  •  Mid-CAL Crisis Support Group
    Hit a wall? Post a photo of your blanket-in-progress with your beverage of choice (wine counts as a “beverage”). Best “I Need More Coffee” face wins a surprise yarny gift!

Week 4 (June 22-30):

  •  Ta-Dah! Party
    Show off your finished blanket—even if one corner looks suspiciously trapezoid-shaped. We’re here for the vibes, not geometry.

Why You Should Join:

  •  No perfection allowed (This is a judge-free zone)
  •  Real-time help (I’ll be stalking the hashtag #LowinkCAL daily)
  •  Sneaky giveaways (Because who doesn’t love free hooks?)

Comment “I’m in!” below—and tell me:
Are you using the kit yarn or going rogue with your stash?
 What’s your crochet nemesis? (Mine is counting stitches after row 10…)

P.S. Tag that friend who “doesn’t have time” to learn crochet. We’ll change their minds!
