My mind has been in overdrive putting stitches together and finding the right yarns and items to make them shine since getting some new stitch dictionaries (both knit and crochet) and finding some vintage ones that my mom had forever. I can’t seem to create as quickly as I’d like so I have a notebook… Continue reading Permafrost Pattern Collection
The Galileo Infinity Scarf pattern is now live! This design is the sister pattern to my Galileo Beanie, which was published earlier. I actually was making the infinity scarves before the beanie to practice my stitches, with the hat coming later but getting a little more of my attention and more detailed note-taking before focusing… Continue reading Galileo Infinity Scarf
The Galileo Beanie pattern is now live! This design has been in my back pocket since last fall and I finally made time to give it the attention that it needed. This hat features the gorgeous jasmine stitch (sometimes also called the star stitch). It was a stitch that I’d wanted to learn for a… Continue reading Galileo Beanie
In a world full of fish … be a mermaid! After I made my Mermaid Tail Purse, I got a few requests for mermaid tail hats (I even had a few customers at markets try to put them on to see if they could use them as hats). I wasn’t exactly certain how I would… Continue reading Be a Mermaid Slouchy Hat Crochet Pattern
I don’t know about you all, but fall is definitely in the air in my neck of the woods (and I couldn’t be happier). Lower temps and the disappearance of the hoards of blackflies that plague us during the summer are very welcome to me. I’ve spent some time this summer working on writing up… Continue reading Comfy/Cozy/Warm Pumpkin Treat Bag – Free Crochet Pattern
I’ve been in a bag making frenzy these past few weeks. After making some for myself and for end of the year gifts for teachers they kind of caught on a little here and so I whipped up as many as I could, but, being me, changed up the stitches here and there to keep… Continue reading Vesey Tote Bag (Free Pattern)
I’ve had a few of the Caron Cotton Cakes in my stash for a while now (thanks to a very kind and helpful lady in a Facebook group who sent me some) and took some out to play with last week. The yarn felt so soft and sturdy and as it is nearing summer I… Continue reading The Genevieve Market Bag (free pattern)
How do you feel about the elf on the shelf? I know some people who go to town with the experience, putting lots of work and time and thought and planning into elaborate settings for it. Then there are some people (like my husband and I), who do not. There are more mornings where we… Continue reading Elf on the Shelf Crochet Skirt
Fall is definitely in full swing here in my neck of the woods. Leaves have changed colors and are falling from the trees, there’s pumpkins in our grocery stores, and it is most definitely getting colder, not that I’m complaining! With fall comes my most favoritest of holidays, Halloween! I love all things spooky and… Continue reading Pumpkin Beanie – Free Crochet Pattern
I love working with the puff stitch. I know it’s a major yarn eater, but I adore the texture and look of it. I’ve tried it out with different designs and pretty much always like how it looks. What I love about this beanie (aside from the puff stitches) is that it’s a great use… Continue reading Mountain Ridge Puff Stitch Beanie
