Whoa, trying to log in to write this post I realized that it’s been so long that I almost forgot how to log in! Life has been busy but slowly I have been able to squeeze in some time to do a few crochet designs for fun, and I wanted to share them with you. [...]

About two years ago, I ordered a Dasiychain Sampler kit from Alicia Paulson (before you ask, it’s no longer available as a kit but you can buy the printed fabric, wool and needles on here site). I opened it, all excited, and promptly set it aside before I even began. I’m not sure exactly why, [...]

I’m happy to announce the release of my latest crochet pattern, Craspedia Cropped Cardigan. Made from springy sock yarn, it’s the perfect light weight cardigan for summer breezes and air conditioning. I’m one of those people that doesn’t love to show my upper arms, so this design comes with full coverage sleeves that have a [...]

I have two exciting things to tell you about this week.

First off, for those of you in the Los Angeles, California area– this weekend is your friendly local yarn crawl! If you’ve never been on a yarn crawl, they are so much fun! You hop from shop to shop, stamping [...]

Recently I had a dream opportunity to create some custom yarn colors with Craftsy and Cascade. They are finally here and now I can share!

I chose Cascade Ultra Alpaca, a super soft and drapey yarn that’s squishy and warm. The colors were really tough to choose– Cascade already has soooo many! So I decided to [...]

Craftsy is having a Valentine’s Day Sale! Not only can you get my crochet classes (check out all the cute projects!), you can also check out all of the awesomeness we’ve been working hard to produce. I’ve met so many awesome instructors and I think you’ll not only learn, but enjoy watching these classes and [...]

When I first started going to my local yarn shop (in Montana) one of the yarns I was immediately drawn to was Noro. The colors are simply amazing, and as a designer, I’ve always loved it for it’s LONG repeat. Variegated yarns often alternate colors too quickly for crochet, and so do many “self striping” [...]

In the spirit of avoiding shopping malls, all of my individual patterns are on sale for 20% off from now until Monday 11/26 with the coupon code turkeyday. In case you missed it, I released individual patterns from my E-book last week as well, and those are included in the sale as well.  This applies only [...]

Whew, I have been remiss in blogging my new designs, but there are a lot of recent releases right now. Just before I took this job and moved our lives to Colorado, I was really ramping up my submissions and they were all nestled together in release times, so enjoy.  I love my job, but [...]

The lovely ladies at Tangled have done it again with their fall collection of knit and crochet designs! I always look forward to seeing the mix of knitting and crochet in their seasonal collection.

My contribution for fall is the Eyelet Yoke Cardi (here’s the Ravelry page), a simple to work top-down cardigan with a little [...]
