Hi Tumblr Friends! This is Johanna of the carolcorpsyarnbrigade!

I was shut out of ticket buying for New York Comic Con, as many other people were. In fact, even my dear husband rhymeswithchaos who has gone all the days every year, had to settle for Friday and Sunday tickets because the...

CCYB's fearless founder, Johanna, is looking for a way to get to NYCC to talk about the awesomeness of the Yarn Brigade, the Carol Corps, and fandom in general. If you have a way to get her a ticket, or know someone who has a spare, CONTACT her. She will be most most grateful to find any way to get to NYCC. And since she lives in Brooklyn, obviously she only needs to sort out an actual pass into the Javits Center, not lodging or transport.  Thank you, everybody!!!

Learned how to crochet the other day… thought I’d rep some Captain Marvel colors for my first project matching scarf to follow :D

Cool hat. :)

Friend, I'd like to talk to you about the Carol Corps Yarn Brigade project. carolcorpsyarnbrigade loves new yarncrafters!!!

hey there friends

I heard the carol corps has a yarn brigade and I would like to help! the Ravelry group is pretty dead, so here I am instead. I’m on my phone rn so I might be slow to respond but how do I get involved?

btw this idea is perfect and I love it. you guys are amazing and I can’t wait to be involved.

This is the tumblr you’re looking for: http://carolcorpsyarnbrigade.tumblr.com

Hi Frozenfoxfire! We are indeed alive and well - please check out the Ravelry group, feel free to make posts on the "Introductions!" discussion board, and as soon as we get some more requests, get ready to hop on and snatch one up! :) Thanks so much for your interest, and if you have any questions or want more info, you can e-mail us! carolcorpsyarnbrigade[at]yahoo[dot]com  or you can tumblr PM either this blog, or our fearless leader, canmakedothink. 

for all of my bitches that are finding it hard to be a bitch lately.

Many thanks to tigrerosa and the Carol Corps Yarn Brigade for these awesome Carol Danvers fingerless gloves!  While May isn’t prime glove season, it is prime dino season and I find myself in much need of these gloves’ magical powers..

(Not pictured is the T Rex that was my messy room falling to the ground in a shimmer of clean clothes and empty trash cans.  May the herd of final exams be vanquished in a similar fashion.)

Kick all the dino butt!

And off they flew to Boston! The bottom four are mine (pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/super-fast-ultra-cozy-scarf ) and the top one is the first scarf made by my boss, who was inspired to learn to knit recently, and this was his first completed project!

Fly, my pretties! FLY!

just realized the Boston marathon scarves are supposed to be blue and yellow.

so this :3

hope its ok

Holy crap, what is this magic you are preforming?

HOLY MOLY ANOTHER ONE!!

Instead of a selfie, because pollen.

MORE SCARF!!!! Seriously I'm losing my mind over the fact that people are kicking in for this. Great job!!!

The letter accompanying my CCYB scarf for the Boston Marathon Scarf-a-thon.

Scarves!!!! More scarves!!!! This is awesome. Great job!!!!

Bound off on my first Boston Marathon scarf, picked up Ms. Marvel #2, and after Ingress tricked me into switching away from the plain old backgroundless enlightened logo for my avatar I made it as Ms. Marvel-y as I could.

Scarves are flying off the needles and hooks!!! Carol Corps, you RULE!!!!

Here’s the final scarf and a cropped version of the letter I’m including. I have to go to Kinko’s (FedEx Office whatever) to print it since my color printer is in a box somewhere but then I will mail it!

[Text of the letter: Hi! I made this scarf for the One Year Later project. My sister-in-law ran Boston last year, and although she was nowhere near the bombing, we didn’t know that for a couple of hours, and it was terrible. So my blessings and my gratitude for my sister-in-law being fine are knitted into every stitch of this scarf.

Thank you for making this happen!]

FLY, LITTLE PRETTY!!! FLY!!!!

Also, friends! I saw on the Old South Church's Facebook page that April 5 is a SOFT DEADLINE! You can send scarves in up to the Friday before the Marathon - this means that you have until Friday, April 18th to get your scarves there, and the OSC has said that they will keep handing out scarves until every athlete has gotten one. 

KEEP WORKING, FRIENDS! We got this. Higher. Further. Faster. More. (Scarves)

I have decided that I am going to make scarves honoring every lady who has ever carried the title of Marvel, Captain and Ms. alike. Not only are some of my favorite ladies in here, but the Captain Marvel franchise in all it’s forms has brought some great comic loving people into my life.

…

BADASSERY THIS WAY. 

I was trying to stop buying single issues because budget. But then people at work are mean or my lab partner is weird or my dog catches rabbits that then have to be buried and I need my super hero stories to make it all go away.

I SPY A MARATHON SCARF!!!! Hooray, another one!!!!! :)
