Hello, lovely! Today I wanted to share a finish with you! I know you might be in the middle of my Gloria Blanket CAL, but I have had this FO in the vault for a long time, just because I wanted to put it to the test (more on that later), and now I just have to share it. The Learner Bag was a project that stemmed from a desire to branch out from making blankets and into creating something new. I don’t think I am alone when I say that crafting is my safe and happy place, and I don’t like to rock the boat too much for fear of inviting discomfort in. So, to take baby steps, I decided to choose a project that would effectively be two small, erm.. bag-sized.. blankets sewn together. I even used an old pillow case for the lining; I am that dead-set on making this thing as painless as possible. The outcome was superb! Read on to see more!

Hello, lovely! I recently got some yarn in the mail – always a joy! – and I just have to tell you about it. You might have seen my Linen Stitch Blanket series that launched in May of this year. It’s a collection of five free crochet blanket patterns using only Linen Stitch (also called Woven Stitch or Moss Stitch), and I have just one more pattern to release in the series! (Okay, I have one awesome bonus freebie that I will reveal after the series wraps – yay!) For now, I wanted to show you the color palette for the final Linen Stitch Blanket, Chevronnie, a sweet and fun chevron blanket in Scheepjes Chunky Monkey. Read to the end for a sneak peek at the WIP!

Hi, sweet crafter! As the 4-part Zendoodle Blanket series has come to a close, I have had messages regarding the rectangle POC inclusive rainbow version that I have been working up in Scheepjes Softfun and showing on my Instagram. So I decided to create a free pattern version for this rectangle Zendoodle as well! It is just as wide as the original Zendoodle, but extended upward to make a big rectangle. Here are links to the 4 parts of this free rectangle version: Part 1: Strip 1 Part 2: Strips 2 and 3 Part 3: Strips 4 and 5 Part 4: Strips 6-8 and Border (This post)
