Who wants a sweet rainbow of color springing off your crochet hook? You can do just that with my new free crochet pattern--Skittles Blanket. It's a party of color, I tell ya! And with fun texture, too. I had someone tell me that...

I've been a bit off the radar lately--but don't worry, all is well and I'm still busy as ever crocheting, creating, and dreaming. One thing I've been enjoying has been my browse through a fantastic new crochet book on the scene by Sandra Eng--the creative crochet designer behind MobiusGirl Crochet Design (@mobiusgirl on IG). The book is titled Crochet Kaleidoscope: Shifting Shapes and Shades...

Today is the day for a revelation! If you saw last week's post (here) about the new project I've been working on using Scheepjes Cahlista, you know that I've been having an '84 ball blast' with all of my favorite colors! (Guess what, I claim no real favorite colors--just a few that sing to me more quietly.)

It's an exciting day in my Felted Button world since I'm releasing one of my most favorite recent designs! I'm tickled with it for so many reasons--but as usual, it has oodles of color, lots of texture and is reversible. Yep. My favorite things about a blanket design. Introducing the Washburn Blanket--named after the candy of the same name.

Last week I shared with you a review of a lovely yarn with which I've been working--Scheepjes Secret Garden*. You can read that post and my thoughts about the yarn here. In short--I loooove it!! Today I'm popping in to share with you a few little peeks at my work-in-progress.
