Good morning friends, fans, and followers 🙏 Recently a phony website has popped up claiming to sell PDF crochet patterns, all of which were ripped off and stolen from independent crochet artists. Right down to copying every word of the descriptions! I was one of the victims of this blatant theft, and in the past... Continue Reading →
Holidaze
I'm so grateful for the gorgeous autumn we've had here this year, and the abundant opportunities to go play outside before the weather got truly chilling. Now unfortunately my toes are icicles when I go out to exercise in the morning and the slush season appears imminent, but why bemoan that when I have a... Continue Reading →

Fur Hats & Summer Stats
This summer is flying by, fueled by the need to commune and see my loved ones after the isolation and uncertainty of 2020. I keep in mind I'm lucky enough to have access to the vaccine, as there are many places that struggled to get their populations vaccinated and still so many people in danger... Continue Reading →
Wizard Hat Pattern
You'd think that with two different magical pointy hat crochet patterns already written, I wouldn't feel the urge to create another. At least, that's what I thought when I added the Classic Witch Hat to my portfolio a year after I came out with the Hedge Witch Hat. But of course, I was wrong -... Continue Reading →
Waistcoat Stitch Tutorial
Today I'm sharing a tutorial for the Waistcoat Stitch, aka the Knit Stitch! Despite the name, this stitch is a crochet stitch that's actually very simple - it's basically just single crochet - but creates a distinctive structure that's perfect for tightly formed fabric with a smooth surface texture. Plus, it looks a bit like... Continue Reading →
