You should see how many people are staring when we take photos 😂 It’s odd to me that no one automatically assumes that I was the one who crocheted my pieces. Why? Because I’m a man? 🙋🏻‍♂️Don’t let your gender, sexuality, or any silly stereotypes stop you from being you, no matter who you are. Let your mini universe shine⭐️ If your veins are made of yarn, show it off to the world 💕 Yarn from Plump & Co

A little late in the season to be making mittens, I know, but I needed some very late Christmas presents for a family get together this weekend, and these lightweight but fashion forward mittens from The Unraveled Mitten will be just the thing...perfect for the brisk spring weather ahead of us for the foreseeable future.

A new style for Mango's Meow! The Low Ponytail Chunky Beanie.

My messy bun hat has been very popular but several people have mentioned that they'd love something that didn't require them to wear their hat right up on top of their head. Voilà!

It's so true! How can I arrange things so that I can make enough crochet sales to afford a housekeeper and childcare so that I can just concentrate on ploughing through these crochet Pins? Hmmm....

But they're just all so pretty...

Haven't made anything for myself in ages, but I'm on a 5 hour drive to Cleveland and I'd love to arrive at the wedding we're attending tomorrow night wearing something fancy I made myself. Let's see if I can get it done in time!

I may have to make a new hat for Gemma.

And it goes so well with crochet!

A shot of warm cozy purple on this cold snowy day. Working on some fingerless gloves to keep a customer's daughter's hands warm while she works on her tablet in the evenings...

It feels like I never seem to make anything for my own family (and certainly never for myself!) because I'm always so busy filling orders for other people. So I squeezed out some time to make this cutie for my little Gemmanator. She chose every colour in it herself from my (considerable) yarn stash. We are both pretty pleased with the end result ❤

Here's the lovely Madison, big sister to last week's Sam, sporting a new product I've just learned how to make: The Starlight Headband by EmmeClaire Crochet

It looks great with the coordinating cowl I made her earlier in the year. Thanks for making my work look so great, Madi ❤

Another new pattern for me, the Snowball Slouch Hat, made for a co-worker of mine from way back in the day :D

This hat was so soft and cozy and warm! A really tight stitch that will really keep your noggin warm on those frigid winter days. And made to order in beautiful deep purple...Tina's favourite colour ❤
