Welcome to Yards of Happiness

Hello!

I’m Dana/DWJ and that’s Kiwi and this is Yards of Happiness. I’ve got another sweater loving dog named Jellybean too.

This website is my corner of the internet where I share all my projects (I knit a lot of sweaters), what inspires me (sometimes it’s my dogs), thoughts and musings on all things yarn or whatever else I come up with that sparks joy. I’m happy you’re here and I hope you’ll stick around for a while. You can also find me on my YouTube Channel, Ravelry, Instagram and Twitter and there is an Etsy shop where I have Yards of Happiness enamel pins for sale. But if you just want to dive into the blog, keep scrolling!
