colorful


color!!! ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•

now that there's been some good progress made on my new set of scarves for the shop, i also decided to start making some new doilies! 

these doilies are special though... not only are they full of color, and quick to make, but these patterns are from a book that belonged to my late gramma.  she was the amazing woman that has made this entire crochet journey of mine possible.  teaching me at the age of 12 to crochet doilies and read crochet patterns, she suggested i sell them to my auntie's friends & coworkers, sparking my passion for crochet ✨.  although crocheting was set aside to raise my family and finish college, i picked it back up when going through a rough time, her passing. i think of it as my way to always keep her in my thoughts and to keep her legacy living for my family.  i am the owner of not only her crocheted doilies and blankets, but i also own the hooks she used to use.  and recently was given the only pattern book we managed to keep of hers.  these are treasures to me... ๐Ÿฅฐ

what is your crochet story??

little bits of progress


progress!!! ✨

every year around this time, i tend to start planning and sorting out fresh ideas of crocheted items to make for the holidays.  sets of things, crocheted things, kitchen things.  lots of things!! 

this year was no different.  i am typically a lover of color ❤️๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’•.  but something drew me back to some warm and neutral colors.  so naturally, i decided to buy an assortment of fishermen's wool from lion brand.  i have always loved using this yarn and the neutral colors are just divine when worked up in either crochet or knitting patterns. 

so....  here is the progress i've made so far on my fishermen's wool neutral collection which will be available in my etsy shop later this year!! ✨✨

what are you making progress on??
