I had planned on waiting until next week to releas

I had planned on waiting until next week to release this Gnome but just couldn't resist! Santa the Gnome is so stinking cute!

I loved using the Bernat Blanket Tiny for the beard and hair! (Although he looks pretty great with worsted there too.)

I think I'll make one in earth tones too so he can be a year-round garden protector! lol!

You can get the Premium PDF download for Santa the Gnome half off for the rest of today on either Ravelry or Etsy. (Links in bio)

Hey! There's still one more day to get these Brand

I'm really excited about this new Autumn Crisp Gif

I'm really excited about this new Autumn Crisp Gift set!

The blanket is simple with just enough texture to keep in interesting. The bear is adorable! And the hat is a great companion accessory.

You can definitely change it up and create your own striping but the color changing cakes make it sooo easy! I also love how it's not gender-specific. This set would make a perfect baby shower or Christmas gift for a new arrival. :)

The Premium PDF is available on ETSY and Ravelry for 50% until Monday. No coupon needed, links in bio!

I hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving tod

I hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving today! Even if it is a little (or a lot) different than we're used to we can still enjoy it and be thankful for what we do have. I still plan on overeating and making a mess of my kitchen so there's that! 😂

We also get to take advantage of Black Friday sales from the comfort of our stretchy pants! Extra bonus!

You can get any Auburn Elephant PDF download for 50% off, today through Monday! Click over to Etsy or Ravelry to see what's available. (Links in bio. No coupon needed, remember you need to add to cart on Ravelry to show the discount)

Have the best day! 😊

Meet Bearly Bear! Named by my 8yo because he uses

Meet Bearly Bear! Named by my 8yo because he uses "barely" any yarn! 😂

This guy was a happy addition to a blanket design I was working on. I wanted to use as much of the 2 skeins of #CaronBigCakes as I could. I had barely enough left after the blanket (baby-sized) to make this little bear and a baby hat! It makes an amazing little gift set!

I'm super excited to share the whole set! Testers are finishing up and then it will be ready to post. Possibly in time to go along with a Black Friday pattern sale... Hmm...😊

My dear friend bought me one of these #AnniversaryCakes and I'm super excited! I had been debating picking one up but I'm trying to only buy yarn when I have a project in mind for it and not just because... (it's a lofty goal, I know 😂) But now that I have this one I had to test it out! 😊

Have you used one of these monster skeins yet? What did you make? There are so many possibilities!

They're here! Mortimer and Millie are together finally and the pattern is out! YAY!

You can always get the free written version on my web site but you can also get the ad-free, PDF download from Etsy or Ravelry. The download includes extra photos to help you through. ANNND the PDF is half off on Ravelry until the 17th! Woot!

I do love release day. I have to say there's always more to do than I remember so I always feel behind but once I get those last couple of things finished it's a great feeling! And everyone else gets to enjoy the final product! :)

I am getting some finishing touches put on this pattern though including a photo and video tutorial for some of the trickier rounds. I hope to have it released soon! So keep checking in!

Can't believe it's taken me this long to design an elephant pattern! Seems like it should have been one of the first... Lol! Oh well!

This is Millie! She and her friend, Mortimer, are being tested now. 😊 🐘🐘🤩

I'm very excited about these two and hope to have the pattern live at the beginning of the week! So keep an eye out for the release and promo days! 😊

I got to be Will's 'Special Guest' in his virtual class meeting today. He told his classmates all about my crochet and showed them a bunch of amis. He was so excited about it. The kids were also impressed! 😂

I love that these boys still appreciate all the stuff I make them! 😊❤️

Halloween is getting sooo close! I'm a little bumm

Halloween is getting sooo close! I'm a little bummed that this year is going to be so different. I didn't even have the motivation to make costumes... The boys are going to be *gasp* store-bought ninjas.... Sigh. It will be okay. One day they won't want me to make them costumes anyway.

I did have plenty of motivation to make up these Spooky Pillows and this Nightmare the Snake for a friend! They are so perfect together! The graphs for these faces are available in the Premium PDFs on Ravelry or Etsy. (my site has the links) The free patterns are on my site too!

BIRTHDAY PATTERN SALE! Get 30% your cart from my Ravelry or Etsy shops! Now through October 4! Woot!

So my birthday was actually yesterday... I was born late so it seems appropriate that I would start this birthday sale late!

I spent the day with my boys. We did our schoolwork, went to Ikea to pick up a new bedroom set (soooo excited about that!), played Exploding Kittens where I lost almost immediately, and ended the day with my traditional Angel Food cake that I didn't have to share! 🎂😊 It's the little things that make a girl feel special! 😂

It's finally Fall! I'm so very excited! It's my favorite time of the year, and not just because my birthday is next week either...
The weather is perfect. My two favorite holidays are coming up. And I get to wear all the cozy warm things!😊
I'm working on the patterns for these Spooky Pillows today. Hoping to have them ready to go by the end of the month.
I used cross stitch over SC for the designs on these. I absolutely love how it comes out! Have you ever cross stitched on crochet? You'll have to give it a try, there's so much you can do!

Living only one mile away from @joann_stores means when #BigTwistYarn is on sale stocking up is easy! My super supportive husband didn't even bat an eye when I said I just needed to run in and grab 10 (or 18) skeins! 😂 🧶♥️
I love using Big Twist because it comes in so many colors, it's affordable (plus it goes on sale a lot), and it holds up so well!
Now I need to get some projects finished so I can start some new ones with all these colors! 😊
