I wanted to talk to you about a taboo subject that most people don’t like to talk about, Menstrual Awareness. During the months of March to May there are quite a few organizations out there that try and spread the word about this taboo subject. These organizations talk about menstrual hygiene and spreading awareness for young girls, just like the girls below need to hear about.
Richelle Gayhart Cricks
Tammy Alexander
One of the organizations I want to talk to you about started the Yarn for Menstrual Health campaign, but first I wanted to share a little bit about my story as a young girl.
I wish this was a topic we talked about when I was a young girl. I started my menstrual cycle when I was 12 years old. This was not a topic talked about in my household, even though there were over 10 women in it. While I was away at camp I started my period. I had NO idea what was happening or how to deal with it. I was so afraid to talk to anyone about it or even go to the nurse to find out how to handle it. For my first period I used toilet paper the whole time, this was not very hygienic to say the least.
The week at camp was not an experience I remember fondly. The whole time I was so scared! I was afraid everyone would make fun of me if they found out. The whole time I was there all that ran through my mind was what is happening to me? Does it show? Did I use enough toilet paper? Was I bleeding through my clothes?
As a 12 year old girl in 6th grade I didn’t know how to handle it at school either. My mom wrote a note to my teacher asking if I could go to the restroom by myself so I didn’t have to take care of it in front of other girls. Not only was this embarrassing enough, but the 6th grade teacher was a man! In 6th grade all toilet stalls did not have a door, so there was no privacy. I was terrified, not wanting anyone to know what was happening to me.
I know there are girls out there that are going through the same things I did. I know there are others who probably have it worse because they are in situations where they can’t get a hold of or afford the needed supplies. I know when I was 12 I had no clue these things even existed!

Yarn for Menstrual Health Campaign
So let’s talk about Yarn for Menstrual Health campaign. A woman named Haseeta together with Morines Shop and the African Girl Foundation started this campaign. It was created to bring awareness about the unhygienic circumstances most school girls across Kenya endure during their menses. She along with the ladies in her group had pledged to make 1,000 hats to be distributed by the African Girl Foundation where they will also distribute menstrual packs to various schools in 2021.
Their aim is to normalize conversations on menstrual health. Similarly, they are raising funds to equip everyone in need with reusable sanitary kits. These sanitary kits cost $10 and consists of 4 reusable pads and washing soap to last an entire year. How awesome is this?!
Not only is menstrual hygiene an issue in Kenya, but this is an issue young girls in the US face as well. Some schools are starting to talk to girls about menstrual hygiene and how to prepare them on how to handle it. But this is still a subject no one likes to hear about.
Poverty, no matter where it is at, plays a huge roll in menstrual hygiene. Most young girls and women can’t afford to purchase the sanitary products they need because of the expense. Some women are having to decide whether to buy sanitary products or food. How awful would it be if you or your child had to choose one of these options?
To help bring awareness to young girls and women, there are many great organizations out there that are trying to raise awareness about menstrual health and hygiene. The Yarn for Menstrual Health is one of these great organizations. You can find out more about this campaign at the link below.
Here in the US, you can find more information about menstrual hygiene at everydayhealth.com and sanitary ways to handle periods for young girls and women.

In designing the blanket, we wanted to bring you squares that have texture and definition. When crocheting the diamond square you will see a lot of texture and definition in the shapes that appear.
When designing the square and thinking about the blanket, I wanted to cover you in what every person loves, Diamonds! With the finished look of the square it reminds me of the diamond pattern that shows up in Argyle Socks. lol

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Attaching the Pockets
With the right side of your shawl facing you and the right side of your pockets facing you, center each pocket near the bottom of your shawl’s short sides.
I used a Diamond as a reference and center over 1 Diamond with the Diamond rows centered in the Pocket. If your Shawl is too big, center your pocket over your middle rows.
Sew the pockets onto your shawl using the whipstitch or whichever stitch you prefer to sew on pockets.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Pocket Full of Diamonds Shawl
Fringe
Optional
Step 1: For each space you are going to place your fringe, cut three 14” pieces of yarn. I place mine 2” apart.
Step 2: With the right side of your shawl facing you, line up the short end in front of you on a flat surface.
Step 3: Fold 3 pieces of yarn in half and line up their ends. Use your hook to pull their center down into a space at the very bottom of your shawl’s short side.
Step 4: With the pieces still on your hook, loop all the ends over your hook, and pull them through.
Repeat Steps 1-4 on both short ends of your shawl.
Trim your fringe so tassels are even across the bottom of your shawl.
That’s it!

In this post I want to share with you a Unisex crochet design, the Herringbone Beanie and Cowl Set.
In the Herringbone Crochet Set you will find 3 sizes to choose from: Teen, Small & Large Adult. The good thing about this crochet pattern is that it can be customized to fit your style, size, and color! The stitch count is a multiple of 6, so it you want to make a smaller or larger size, you can use the multiple of 6.
As I stated above, the Herringbone Beanie and Cowl Set Crochet Pattern is a Unisex crochet pattern. My husband and I modeled the set, so as you can see it fits men and women. You will find some wonderful versions from my testers of the set at the bottom of this post.

Fringe
Fringe (Optional)
Cut pieces of yarn 10”-12” long
Use 2 strands of yarn for each section of Fringe. If you want a heavier Fringe add more pieces of yarn to suit you.
Put the ends together and create a loop that can be threaded into the edges of the Poncho. Knot pieces of Fringe onto the Poncho. This will give you 4 strands of yarn to create the Fringe.
You can use your crochet hook to pull the loops through the edges of the Poncho and then thread the fringe through the loop. Pull tight to create your knot. Make sure to pull the loop in the same direction. This helps all of your knots to match.
Neck Border (Optional):
Switch to H or 5 mm Hook
Attach yarn in any stitch along the Neck Opening, slip stitch, chain 1 and sc in the same stitch. sc in each stitch around.
For a Smaller Neck Opening, add 2-3 more rows of Single Crochet.
