Quick Links to Each Week of the Dutch Rose Blanket CAL: 1/2/3/4/5/6&7/8 Introduction Hello, gorgeous crafter! Today I am shouting out the announcement for my Dutch Rose Blanket CAL Reboot! In 2018, I designed Dutch Rose, and it became one of my favorite designs I ever created. So many of you loved it that I decided to host a Crochet-Along and it was a hit! In the wake of the 2022 VVCAL, I thought it might be neat to keep the CAL ball rolling and host a reboot of the Dutch Rose Blanket CAL. Now folks who missed out on the first one can participate, or folks who just want to make the coziest blanket ever can join along. PDF Version The Dutch Rose Blanket PDF is available to purchase from Etsy and Ravelry.

New Scheepjes Organicon for My 100th Crochet Blanket Pattern!

Published by

Hello, lovely! Today I am sharing some new yarny goodness that came in the mail via Scheepjes! This is Organicon Yarn, which is an eco-conscious, sustainable, and vegan-friendly yarn that comes in 21 yummy shades. I am using it for my latest project, which happens to be very special. Recently, I decided to create a Start Here page to help welcome new-comers and OG fans to navigate my website and to see the latest and most popular patterns. In that process, I typed out every pattern I have ever written, and organized them by category in ABC order. Whew, there were a LOT!
