I finally got my yarn this week and Iโ€™ve been playing with it all weekend!  This is Cottino from @lionbrandyarn, their new yarn line, and I love it so far!  Itโ€™s a DK weight cotton/superwash merino wool blend and itโ€™s so soft and lightweight. 

Iโ€™ve worked up a few swatches for my next project and the stitch definition and drape is perfect.  It feels good to have a new project on my hook!

I am not so patiently waiting on yarn to arrive for my next project. ๐Ÿคฃ So Iโ€™ll take this time to work on more squares for last yearโ€™s book blanket. 

Here are my September reads and squares!  I am determined to get this book blanket done. Finished is finished!!

โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒท The Winter Blooms Scarf crochet pattern is live on the website!  This color combo is so beautiful, I used Nylon DK yarn from @sewrellayarn from the Summer In London collection. 

I think my favorite part is the golden fringe.  My sister is always accusing me of wanting to put fringe on everything (like this is a problem) but this scarf absolutely needed the fringe and I love it!  And this scarf works up fast with basic stitches for a beautiful texture. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Check out all the details for the free crochet pattern on the website, and the ad-free PDF version is available in my pattern shops.  All the links are in my bio, Happy Valentineโ€™s  Day friends!!

I had so much fun last week taking scarf photos in all that snow we got. โ„๏ธโ˜ƒ๏ธ It stuck around for several days, might as well take advantage of a great backdrop! 

This scarf pattern is finally ready for publishing - The Winter Blooms Scarf releases tomorrow! ๐Ÿงฃ โค๏ธ

Happy Saturday!  Iโ€™ve been steadily working on my scarf the last few weeks but with vacation and two winter storms (one of which is in progress now), I havenโ€™t recorded any of my progress. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ But itโ€™s getting close to being finished!  Just a few more sections. 

I love the texture of this stitch combo, and itโ€™s so cool that you can create that using basic stitches.  I really hope Iโ€™ll have enough of the main color left to add fringe. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

I hope youโ€™re staying warm this weekend!  Weโ€™ve got snacks and crafts, because thatโ€™s whatโ€™s important, right? 

Scarf pattern coming soon!
Yarn is Nylon DK from @sewrellayarn from the Summer In London collection

A new project and a fresh design on my hook!! 

I took a much needed brain-break from designing over December and Iโ€™m really glad I did.  Now Iโ€™m jumping into my first design of 2026 with some gorgeous hand-dyed yarn because I need some beauty and brightness to focus on in the midst of all the heaviness and chaos around us right now. 

Iโ€™m working on a scarf using Nylon DK by @sewrellayarn and this dreamy palette from the Summer in London collection.  Itโ€™s always daunting to create something from scratch using hand-dyed yarn because I donโ€™t have an unlimited supply of it. So if my calculations are off I might not have the yarn I need to finish the striping pattern the way I want.  But my love for one-of-a-kind yarn is strong, so I persist. ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿฉท

 I think this will work up fast once I get the details sorted!

Iโ€™m back to posting book squares, itโ€™s been almost two months since my last share!  Obviously, Iโ€™m behind on this project. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ I have squares done through September and A LOT of squares to make to finish out the year. 

But I will finish this blanket!! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Here are my August reads and squares.  When the Wolf Comes Home was my favorite, I still think about it months later.

In between baking and holiday gatherings, Iโ€™ve been playing with these festive minis, the Merry & Bright set from @ruby_and_roses_yarn.  They make me so happy to look at!  Iโ€™m working a shell stitch row for each color and it will be a simple infinity scarf when itโ€™s done. 

Itโ€™s working up fast and itโ€™s a nice break from all the craziness!  Itโ€™s been awhile since Iโ€™ve just crocheted something on the fly without a pattern or writing down all the steps as I go.

Finally getting around to posting about this - the Succulent Garden Advent from @montana.crochet!  I was out of town last week when these were delivered so I got to open three at one time. ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿป 

Absolutely gorgeous. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ I am SO EXCITED to see where these colors are going and for the pattern to be released next week!  Check my stories for todayโ€™s colorway. ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿฉท

Hooray, itโ€™s Saturday!! Itโ€™s cold and gloomy outside, so Iโ€™m pretending I donโ€™t have loads of stuff to do today and Iโ€™m ping-ponging between these hobbies. ๐Ÿคฃ

My current crochet project is another Stella Cardigan!  My daughter got the original so this one is for me.  Iโ€™m using Color Theory by @lionbrandyarn again in one of the new colorways - Fig!  Itโ€™s a beautiful rich plum color. ๐Ÿฅฐ

At some point, I will have to get back to wrapping presents, laundry and finishing the decorations. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

๐Ÿ‚ The Cascades Bkanket!! ๐Ÿ‚ This textured granny stripe blanket is live on my website and in my pattern shops, just in time for #smallbusinesssaturday today! 

I love the way this turned out, the neutral sections really make the granny stripes pop.  Heartland by @lionbrandyarn  is my go-to yarn for blankets, and it comes in so many gorgeous colors so you can customize this to your specific anesthetic and decor. 

Itโ€™s pretty chilly today, and Iโ€™m bundled up on the couch under this blanket as I type this, so I can confirm itโ€™s warm and cozy! 

Happy crocheting!

Obligatory slo-mo blanket drop!!

I finally finished this blanket!  I love making blankets but I always forget how much time it takes, and working on the one project exclusively, and then Iโ€™m sick of it by the time itโ€™s done. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ But I love the way this has turned out!! 

I was really hoping to get this released before Thanksgiving, but thatโ€™s just not happening. ๐Ÿซ  So it will be this weekend!  Finished is finished. 

Pattern - granny stripe blanket (need a cooler name) releasing Saturday November 29th
Yarn - Heartland by @lionbrandyarn

July books and squares! 

July was a mix of thriller, horror, supernatural suspense and a bit of historical fiction.  I really did read a lot this summer, 15 books over June and July!

I love granny stripes!!! ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก

I decided to randomize the colors in the granny stripe sections of my blanket, and I really like the way it looks.  Thereโ€™s always some kind of structure and plan for all my designs, so itโ€™s a creative break for me to decide when to add in a color as Iโ€™m working.  I also donโ€™t have any real idea of how many granny stripe sections Iโ€™ll make or what the border is going to look like. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ So thatโ€™s fun! 

I am not as far along with it as I wanted to be because I had a busy but super fun weekend away in the mountains.  Totally worth it though, 10/10 recommend. 

I really do love the repetition and comfort of working on a blanket and a larger project like this.  But I got a lot more work to do, so byeeeeee!! ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜

Yarn is Heartland by @lionbrandyarn

Cozy stitches in the late afternoon light! 

Iโ€™ve made lots of progress on this blanket and havenโ€™t documented any of it. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ I got so into the granny stitches and color changes, I just wanted to keep going!  Itโ€™s keeping me engaged which is nice when itโ€™s dark at 5:30. ๐Ÿคฃ

This color combo of Heartland by @lionbrandyarn is SO fall. ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ

๐Ÿ‚๐ŸHello November color palette!! 

This past week was so busy, it was really nice to have a slow day today.  Iโ€™ve got the crockpot going, the house smells amazing and Iโ€™ve spent the day working up swatches with this gorgeous color palette of Heartland by @lionbrandyarn.  Itโ€™s going to be . . . a blanket! ๐ŸคŽ๐Ÿงก

I was planning to film crocheting the first few rows but I was too eager to start that I forgot about it! ๐Ÿคฃ My weekend plans are locked down, what are you guys up to??

The Hemlock Scarf pattern is live on the website now!! I have been so excited to share it! 

Here are the details:  I used 1044 yards of DK yarn (three skeins of @montana.crochet Cozy DK, and one skein @lionbrandyarn LB Collection Superwash Merino) and a 5mm crochet hook.  The pattern is an easy six-row repeat that features alternating rows of double crochet in the back and front loop only.  The texture is perfection!! 

This is a great project for using up scrap yarn or mini skeins, all kinds of looks can be created.  I love the witchy, moody vibes of my finished scarf! ๐Ÿง™๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐Ÿฆ‡๐Ÿ

The pattern is available in my website and pattern shops, the links are in my bio!  Happy Spooky Season!!

๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ The Hemlock Scarf!! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‚

Sheโ€™s moody and dramatic and SHE IS ME and I love her!  I wasnโ€™t too sure how the final rows of black yarn would look once the scarf was finished, if they would be too much contrast.  But itโ€™s just right, exactly the look I was going for!

This pattern is REALLY close to being published, I just have a few things to finalize. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
