Hello, lovely crafter! Today I have a special treat for you. I want to show you the latest Scheepjes YARN Bookazine: Issue 12: Romance.
According to the Scheepjes Facebook page, this issue “pays tribute to the Pre-Raphaelite and Arts and Crafts movements of the 19th century and is divided into four enthralling chapters inspired by renowned muses Lizzie Siddal, Fanny Eaton, Annie Miller and Effie Gray.” This edition is a stunner!

Hello, fabulous crafter! In an effort to provide a free version of all of my (60-ish!) self-published full blanket patterns, I am striving to release a free pattern weekly. Side note: There are about 30 more blankets I have designed which are not self-published, so I can’t release freebies of those, but I wish I could!
A few years back, I became obsessed with the creative endeavors of a talented and lovely lady named Jessica Wilkinson. She has since left social media, but her nature flatlays and video trips around her garden were absolutely inspiring to me. I designed five blankets inspired by her drawings, her flatlays, and her tiny porch potted plant garden.
The materials for Jessica’s floral photography come from a few modest potted plants on her patio. From that tiny garden come the gorgeous and colorful flatlays that inspired this blanket.
Below, you will find the free UK Terms pattern, and you can find the US Terms version here!
There is a yarn kit available for Tiny Garden – Find it here! (affiliate)
Find this pattern in a condensed ad-free PDF for a small fee in my Etsy Shop and on Ravelry. Pattern PDF for US Terms is included in the purchase, and UK Terms PDF is coming soon! For now, the UK Terms free version is available below.

Hello, lovely! Today I want to introduce you to one of the crochet blanket patterns in my book, The Art of Crochet Blankets. I named this pattern “The Northerner” because it has such a sophisticated, metropolitan vibe. I hope you enjoy this little presentation of my crochet pattern!

Hello, friend! It’s been a long while since my last post, because I took some time away from creating new work to focus on my family. The prolonged solitary time of the pandemic had some effects on my kiddoes, and I wanted to really pour my energy into making them whole. Now we are all in a much better place, and I am even designing again!
I want to say thank you to everyone who messaged me and emailed me during the nine months or so that I have been on hiatus from my website and socials. I appreciate you greatly!
Today, I offer the pattern for my Sugarfrost Blanket, which was first featured in Inside Crochet, Issue 131. I can now publish the pattern on my website!
Below, you will find the free version (UK Terms). Find the US Terms Free Version here!
Find this pattern in a condensed ad-free PDF for a small fee in my Etsy Shop and on Ravelry. Coloring pages for layouts are also included. Pattern PDFs for US and UK Terms are both included in the purchase.

Hey, gorgeous crafter! Remember this WIP from a couple of weeks ago? I have been working on these crochet nesting baskets for a little while and have really enjoyed making something completely different from a blanket, but still a small and quick project. Also as a side note, every time I’m chugging along on a project, I’m jotting improvements in my notebook.
So, I already have a few more ideas to make crochet nesting basket sets using these wooden bag bottoms. And I did get many messages asking about these bag bottoms and where to find them. I just might start selling them along with some kits for baskets once I get the design just right.

Hello, lovely! Today I feel like taking a walk down memory lane, so let’s take a look back at everything I released in 2020! Crazy enough, the last time I did a year-end design roundup was for 2018, so I guess I skipped 2019. Although this doesn’t surprise me too much, as during odd-numbered years I take a bit of a break.
I went through all of my notes and my pattern platforms, and learned that I released 16 designs in 2020. And here they are!
