Hi, friend! Today, I have something very special to share with you! After a few years of thinking and notebook scrawling, I have officially opened up CypressTextiles Art Studio, an online school where I can offer digital courses.
My first offering is a Creative Art Blanket Course, and it’s available now!
Head to sign up for the course! Sign me up!.
Introduction
Do you want your crochet blanket to mystify and enchant? There is a science behind making blanket magic!

Does this sound like you?
Raise your hand – we’ve all been there.
Too Many WIPs
Do you have too many WIPs, and not enough FOs? Or a huge yarn stash, yet you always seem to be buying new yarn? Why do we do this? When we don’t feel like we can spark joy by creatively and artfully using what we have, we often rely on the joy sparked with the instant gratification of a yarn purchase.
For the price of one yarn splurge, you can dive into your own stash and start finishing projects!
Lost Your Crojo
Why did you start crocheting in the first place? Probably to find a creative outlet and keep your hands busy, or maybe to make and sell items for your budding small business. Whatever the reason, you picked up a hook one day, and now suddenly you’ve completely lost your crojo and it seems like no project can help you find it.
It’s time to rekindle your creative fire!
Overwhelmed by Analysis Paralysis
Do you have an inner crochet meanie? A perfectionist voice in your brain that has you stressing over color choice and layout placement? If creating feels like a chore because you are constantly making small paranoid decisions and last minute changes in your project, you are not alone. Crochet is meant to de-stress you, not re-stress you!
Learn to put systems in place beforehand so that you can spend your creative time, well, creating!
Unconvinced? Let’s see what’s in the course!
