Well, I had to try it. Here is the viral popping crochet squirrel coaster that quite a few people have sent me links to. I purchased this pattern online. It’s part of a bundle called Animal Coaster Bundle- Crochet Pattern by Linda Crafting. I used a size 2.75mm and size 4.5 mm hook and a worsted weight or #4 yarns. The pattern calls for using hot glue to join a few parts but I sewed down all of the pieces. Turned out pretty cute! 🐿️🧶🙊

We had such a fantastic time at the Fibre to Fabric Festival that we forgot to take any pictures! It was wonderful to see so many local vendors and artisans together in one location showcasing such incredible skill and creativity.

There is so much work that goes into putting on an event like this. We can’t say thank you enough to these four fabulous women and all the volunteers who made it happen!

If you made it out yesterday let us know in the comments what your favourite part of the show was. Did you take a workshop? Did you find a beautiful treasure? We would love to know. Thank you to everyone who came by our table and supported us. We appreciate you so much! 🐑🧵🪡🧶💜✨👭👭

That's a wrap!!!!

Feeling pretty pleased with how this shawl is working up. I’m using a size 4mm hook and Shhhhh Double Knitting yarn by James C. Brett. It’s an 80% acrylic, 20% wool blend that has the look and feel of mohair. The pattern is Veilwyn by Morben Design. 🧶🪽
