There is a mutual aid market in my town Saturday so I made some hair scrunchies to sell with all proceeds going to rent relief. They are joining some of the amigurumi I've made the past few years. #crochet #handmade #iceoutofmn

I completed project 3 of 4 from the #PicaPauxHobbii Advent CAL. Little Grayson Robin is adorable but was a huge PITA to make! lol The hats are fun but I'm not sure about the scarf. Either way - he's finished! #crochet #amigurumi As of 4/16/2026 the pattern is free! https://hobbii.com/collections/product-patterns/products/hp-w6ak5s-grayson-robin

This is what I came up with for April/Easter. I used a crochet "fabric" and then put cross stitch on it! Egg shape wasn't easy but I think adding the border helped call out the shape. This is a fun technique! #handmade #crochet

I realized that just because a holiday falls in a certain month doesn't mean you want that holiday representing the entire month. So now I'm working on some generic covers. These two came from the same skein of yarn but are different patterns. #handmade #crochet

I missed Feb for the jar cozy project for my mom. Life was too much with Operation Metro Surge and crochet wasn't bringing me joy. No worries though...on to the next month! This hat for St Patrick's Day was quick to make and looks great! #handmade #crochet Pattern: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97fyKpaU-z4&t=1524s

Remember the burger bag? My super talented Mom made a liner for it complete with pockets! It has made this bag so useful for me that it is my main purse right now. I love it!!! Thanks Mom!!! <3 #handmade #crochet #sewing

Happy National Strawberry Day! I would have thought it would be further into spring but I guess not. #crochet #amigurumi #CrochetBookClub2026

I'm way behind on this holiday crochet along but I think it will be worth the wait because these #PicaPauxHobbii designs are gorgeous and so detail oriented! Aurora Deer has joined her friend Owen Stoat finally. #crochet #amigurumi

Did you know it's Whale Day? Here's the next #CrochetBookClub2026 project. #crochet #amigurumi

The crochet along for January was Mrs Potts! It's meant to be made with blanket yarn but I'm really happy with my smaller version as well. #crochet #amigurumi #amigurumiCAL Free pattern: www.instagram.com/p/DNqcmHySBqI

Focus has been difficult lately but when I saw this pattern I knew I had to make it. I loved all the details and I learned a new stitch - the strap is made using Thermal Stitch and I think it's going to hold up really well! #crochet #handmade Paid pattern: https://ribblr.com/pattern/cheeseburger-bag-Crochet

The final #CrochetBookClub2026 project of the month is today - Hot Cocoa Day! The pattern calls for a face but instead I added a heart applique using this pattern: https://www.crochetleaf.com/basic-crochet-heart.html #crochet #whimsicalstitches #amigurumi

There's a lot of bad happening in MN right now so when my teen asked me to make her a #NyanCat scarf I dropped everything to make one. It felt good to make her smile! #crochet #handmadegift #meme Paid Pattern: ko-fi.com/s/2e8ecc72b2

This reminds me of The Wild Robot books by Peter Brown! <3 [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Here's the January pint jar cover I made for my mom. It's a snow person! Until you turn on a tealight and then it's a ... chick? lol She's got candy canes in it for now so the lighting shouldn't be a problem. #crochet #handmadegift

It looks like I forgot to post these pint jar covers when I made them last year. I'm trying to make one for each month for my mom! Halloween/October was a pumpkin. Here's the goofy looking turkey for November and Santa suit for December. #crochet #handmadegift

This year for #CrochetBookClub2026 we're working through Whimsical Stitches by Lauren Espy. The group admin cleverly tied each project to a "holiday" throughout the year. The first one is today: Houseplant Appreciation Day! Presenting the succulent planter. #crochet #whimsicalstitches #amigurumi

This week for #CrochetAway the theme is Let's Get Cozy. I've made 2 wearables that get use and this is one of them. My husband requested a wearable blanket and he picked out the yarn too! This gets regular use during the winter here. #crochet #handmade Paid pattern: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1569160866/saturdays-poncho-crochet-pattern

Ta daaaaaa! I am so happy with the final result of this labor of love! The randomness is something that is growing on me & I was so excited to start using the blanket already on January 1. #crochet #bookblanket2025 #grannysquare

My book blanket needed 1 more square to even out the 9x11 square layout I was working on so I decided to make a rainbow one. This works because a) I love rainbows and b) LGBTQIA+ was my top tag for the year! #crochet #bookblanket2025 #grannysquare

04 Jan 2026 21:54 +0000

My final finish for 2025! Book number 98 is also a holiday one. I'm very proud of my reading accomplishments this year. I finished 2 reading challenges on StoryGraph as well as all these squares! #crochet #bookblanket2025 #grannysquare

04 Jan 2026 15:49 +0000

I wanted to fit in some holiday theme books and just barely did. The first one is book 97 and I love how Christmas-y the square turned out. #crochet #bookblanket2025 #grannysquare

03 Jan 2026 21:54 +0000

This is book 96. It took me a little while to see the connection between the stories. #crochet #bookblanket2025 #grannysquare

One day I will take on mosaic crochet. Until then I'll enjoy the work of others! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Here's book 95! Cute, short story. I'll probably follow along with this series. #crochet #bookblanket2025 #grannysquare

I've watched some Dance Mom's with my teen over the past year. After listening to Nia's book I think I might be done giving them my time. Nia was graceful in her story telling and I'm glad I was able to get her perspective. Book 94 for the year. #crochet #bookblanket2025 #grannysquare #audiobook

02 Jan 2026 19:30 +0000

Book 93! This was for the prompt "About a woman ruler." It's by an author I read in 2024 as well and I enjoyed both books. #crochet #bookblanket2025 #grannysquare #audiobook
