Yarn Quest needs you!
Grab your knitting needles and join your fellow Yarn Questers in the quest to save Yarnia!
What is Yarn Quest?
Yarn Quest is one part knitting pattern, one part Role-Playing Game, and one part Choose Your Own Adventure. Each quest is a knitting pattern, and as the player leads their character through the quest they come across enemies to battle, choices to make, and items that all influence the patterns knitted on the project.
That's what makes Yarn Quest so special - almost every project is unique.
Storied Yarns is an introduction to Yarn Questing for those who have never played an RPG, and provides new patterns and play styles for those who have partaken in previous campaigns. The book will be a full color hardcover including tutorials, lore, patterns, and lots of artwork. There will be tutorials for how to play, along with tutorials for how to use the double knitting technique.
Don't like double knitting? Can't knit, but like to crochet? There are plenty of methods to join in the fun! Questers have done previous projects in colorwork knitting and Tunisian crochet. There's no limit to what you can do!
Latest Updates from Our Project:
December update!
almost 5 years ago
– Fri, Dec 27, 2019 at 05:33:07 PM
Good afternoon, Backers!
It's time for the December updated~
First, I'm still in a bit of limbo. My left hand is pretty hobbled and I can't do much. I really wish that I had better news on that end and more to update. Still no art/knitting. However, once the holidays are over I'm going to finish figuring out the logistics behind sending out a great many messages that won't take me a week. My January post will focus on that.
Next, rewards. I've been in touch with the purveyors of the mugs and have been working out the best way to get them up to me, as there are many and shipping has its own set of hazards so a physical trip might be in order. I'm also working on packaging up the rewards I have on hand so that they're easier to ship and won't get bumped around.
The next update will be in January, when I start PT. If it turns out that the nerve won't settle, or the surgery failed, I will keep you all informed and start working on alternative plans.
Hope your holidays are great!

Post Surgery Update
about 5 years ago

Hi all,
This will be a short update, I still can't type and Kickstarter's mobile site keeps eating updates.
I had surgery last Monday to deal with my ongoing nerve issues. My nerve had shifted and was constantly rubbing on my bone. I have six weeks before I'm allowed to do much of anything. I'm sorry for all the delays, but there's only so much pain i can work through. I'm also sorry about the lack of updates. In September i tried pushing myself harder and the pain got worse, and working on anything got harder. I hate not having great updates for you guys.
I'm sorry that there are going to be more delays. This is beyond my control.
There will be no update in November, I won't have anything new. The nerve issue has taken over my life, and hopefully this surgery will have fixed it and things will be able to return to normal. I will let you all know more in December.
Releases on Ravelry will continue, i have a backlog of premade patterns I'm putting out. Please don't be upset with new releases, i have to pay for all the medical stuff and my normal bills.
Have a good November, and I'll touch base with you all in December.

Art Art Art! (and some other updates)

Good afternoon, everyone!
First off, a few housekeeping things. 1. I goofed up on the card charges. Cards have not yet been charged, orders have only been locked. Cards will be charged next Monday - 9-9-19. Please make sure you're prepared for them to be charged then. And also, I'm sorry about the mix up, it's my first time using BackerKit and I totally misread the instructions for locking/charging orders.
2. Shipping to the UK is going to take precedence right now, as, well, Brexit is happening. I'm going to get what I have over there will play it by ear with the rest of the rewards. UK folx, I'll get your rewards to you, but I may have to hold off on sending them until the mail situation shakes out.
Okay. Now onto some shinier news. The cover art took a bit longer than I originally anticipated, but I'm so happy with how it turned out.
You guys ready?
Really ready?
Alrighty, here it is!
Storied Yarns Cover Art
It's pretty much done, I just need to format it to fit the cover and get the text and such set up! If there's interest I can get prints and TCG playmats set up for it.
Next up - packaging! I accidentally ordered the wrong bags for the pins and dice, the right ones should be here on Friday. I've been getting dice sets laid out and pins attached to their backers. Here's a peek at that -
They glow so nicely! It's even better in person.
Next update will be in two weeks (unless I get sick again T.T) and will feature more art!
Clarification - Only Backerkit orders are being charged

Sorry for the double update, but just to be clear only BackerKit orders that were paid via credit card are being charged! That only includes shipping and add-ons that were added to your order in BackerKit, and includes nothing that was done with Kickstarter (that was already all collected last year). You will not be charged for anything else. Those who paid with PayPal are already good to go.
Important update! Please read

Good afternoon, everyone!
I have some excellent news to start things off. The tablet is back with a brand new screen and connections and runs beautifully. I'm back at work on the art (saving that for the next update, there will be kitties!) and I'm easing very slowly back into knitting.
Now onto the important stuff.
1. Backerkit will lock tonight and cards will be charged tonight at 11 pm CST.
2. You still have time to update your shipping address. I will have a tutorial for you to do so in BackerKit. If for some reason you are unable to change you shipping address, please don't hesitate to message me.
3. SOME REWARDS WILL SHIP STARTING IN AUGUST - What this means is that I'm going to start shipping things as they arrive. I currently have Pins, Dice, and Stickers. I am receiving project bags and mugs soon (Bags likely in August, Mugs in October). Books will hopefully be ordered in October. I will have updates as I begin shipping other items. Your order will not ship until all rewards have been received.
4. Phase 1 shipping - Backers who have ordered Dice, Pins, and/or Stickers in any combination will start receiving their rewards in mid to late August.
I think that mostly covers it for now, thank you all again for your patience and I will have an update next week with art!
