I promised you a new pattern a while ago, and here it is! The Heart Baby Name Blanket Pattern was originally stitched for a friend who is having a baby very, very, soon (no really, like, any day). I loving making personalized baby blankets for new babies! It gives them something they can treasure–something that… Continue reading Personalized Heart Baby Name Blanket (4 or 5 letters) (paid pattern)
As is the case when creating any new pattern, some things work and some things don’t. In this post, I introduced the Hexi Temp Blanket 2024 and provided a free pattern. The pattern is a still a work in progress. I did not change the pattern, but I did change the yarn I’m using. My… Continue reading Hexi Temp Blanket 2.0
My friends know. They know that if they even hint at something they want me to crochet them, I will have it to them as soon as possible. My friend asked me for a grown-up-sized scoodie after church one day. I had it to her in a couple of hours. A few weeks ago, another… Continue reading A Star-Shaped Suggestion

Growing up we had an ice cream shop known for its soft-serve orange sherbet. You could get it alone or with vanilla twist. The… Continue reading Sherbet Blanket
I feel like all I do on this blog lately is talk about the weather. I obsess over it because of my temperature blanket. I complain the spring is never going to come. Last week we hit 70 degrees only to be pummeled with snow two days later. Spring will come. It happens every year.… Continue reading Spring Daffodil Blanket (Paid Pattern)
The materials for this blanket cost me five dollars. That’s right, $5. I purchased some clearance yarn from Herrschners a while back for $1/skein. I bought six skeins but only ended up using five. (I looked it up, and the Lovey-Dovey yarn is still available at that low price.) In the middle of Operation Yarn… Continue reading Ridged Ripple Baby Blanket (free pattern)
