If you want to make photographs of your crochet or knit projects really stand out, check out my two part blog series on fiber art photography! I worked really hard on this in collaboration with another designer and it’s a great resource for crochet pattern testers! 💛 Be sure to read part 2 as well! Link to blog in bio.

It’s time to start thinking about Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday! No gifts, no big agenda except being with people you love and eating a meal together 💛 If you are hosting, or maybe want a perfect hostess gift, this crochet table runner and placemat duo is perfect. Using filet crochet and a simple stitch pattern (it’s not the star stitch, look closer) this is a fairly soothing stitch repeat and you can make in whatever color your heart desires. My heart desired Crochet.com Dishie yarn in Butterscotch. My bestselling 2-in-1 crochet pattern for sale on all my channels at link in bio. 🍁

If you’re local to Oregon we highly recommend Sage Canyon River Co.! We had SUCH a lovely day on the Deschutes despite the wildfire smoke. Great company, delicious lunch (take the all day trip with lunch included!), super guide, and adventures of all kinds 💛 plus the locally sourced ice cream we had back at the shop when we were done was so gooood. Happy to work in one more family adventure (minus our oldest who was out of town). Carpe diem!

Close to the finish line… again! 😬 I had to take out all the color weaving and the border because I didn’t read the directions carefully enough. Raise a hand if you identify 🙋🏽‍♀️ pattern by and I’m sure she will forgive me 💛

Finally finished with a Tunisian crochet baby blanket for a precious baby girl! My crochet projects take me much longer during tax season but it was all worth it. I learned the Tunisian crochet join as you go technique to accomplish this clean color block look. Video is by on YouTube. My daughter suggested a crochet shell stitch border, which gave balance to the straight stitches and squares. Anyone else a fan of the join as you go technique? 🧶

With some help from my mom, I created a lining for my Tunisian crochet Sonora Bag over Christmas break! It’s the first time I’ve had my sewing machine out since we moved in August of 2023 😬😂 I used fabric scraps that somewhat coordinated and I absolutely love the finished result. Super glad Mom had the idea to add the divided pockets to hold my phone and other small items! If you love Tunisian crochet, put The Sonora Bag on your crochet project list. The pattern is very well written, easy to follow, and beautiful. Yarn is Billow from and I loved how the colors work together. Next is hand sewing the lining in and attaching the strap!
