these colors!!


these colors!!! ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’•

this skein of yarn spoke to me at hobby lobby.  actually, it yelled so loud, it practically jumped in my cart! i bought 3 other skeins that day, but this one has been my favorite.  it's really super soft to work with too.  

anyone that knows me, knows i am almost as big a fan of knitting as i am crochet.  people say my face lights up when i talk about yarn, patterns, crochet, knitting.  ๐Ÿคฉ

this is a new pattern i stumbled across, it is a crocheted version of the classic knitted feather and fan pattern.  i'm loving how it has turned out so far.  of course, i adjusted the pattern to work with a thicker yarn, but i'm thinking to make a few of these in a variety of weights and colors for the shop.  so excited!! ๐Ÿงถ

what are you working on lately??

need a hand?


these are my best sellers! 

a couple years back, on a whim, i decided to try my hand at an original pattern.  thought i'd start with something small, and something other than a scarf.  so, i heavily modified a pattern for fingerless gloves i found online and it turned out to be easier than i thought. at least for these cuties! i've changed up the pattern over the years, but they continue to be my best sellers, selling out, year after year. 

this year, i have much bigger plans! ๐Ÿฅณ

lots more colors?

maybe a new motif for the hand?

maybe new color combos?

still thinking of a few new spins to add, as well as a few new ideas.  i've been flooded with inspiration lately and can't wait to share some of my ideas and finished goods with you! ✨
