Finally finished making this alpine cardigan sweater, the Kazbek Cardigan, that I was pattern testing. I'm not very happy with how it came out, since it still sits too low on the shoulder so it fits uncomfortably and I feel like the sweater is falling off. I'm honestly glad it's done since I spent way too much time making this....it felt like it took forever. I used almost 2 cakes of lionbrand mandala bonus bundle yarn in colorway Satyrs and a 4.5mm crochet hook. I decided to not add the pockets so that my color striping could show and I am not going to add a zipper for now unless I can find a cheap zipper I can reuse from a thrifted sweater/hoodie. Pattern is from Heart Hook Home, https://hearthookhome.com/kazbek-cardigan-crochet.../
My apologies for having to end our Coffee & Crochet Meetup short. Here's what happened.
My daughter had signaled for me that there was an emergency. Which is why I excused myself from the meeting. She told me she was on the phone with her dad, that he cried out in pain and then was unresponsive. I was still processing this information when I re-entered the meeting knowing I had to go.
Everything it ok. Jon apparently tweaked his back and then passed out. Which is why he was not responding. When he came too only moments later, he had to crawl to his phone to get back in touch with us. He went to the doctor and got muscle relaxers and is now on couch/bed-rest.
I want to thank you all so much for your love and understanding as I had to unexpectedly leave our scheduled meetup. All is good. I'll reschedule our Saturday Coffee & Crochet for next Saturday! I hope you all have a beautiful week! See you soon. 💖




Definitely loving the Mosaic Pattern for both the cardigan and beanies. This has to be my favorite of all the Cardigan's I've made (MJ's Off the Hook Autumn's Charm) I think I have enough yarn left to do a beanie to match the cardigan, but I may be playing yarn chicken.
Check this out…..looks very interesting!

Thank you everyone who contributed to Sandra's care package. Here are the flowers I am having delivered to Sandra. Plus, I plan on sending Sandra an actual care package with some things that will hopefully help to make her life easier when she may not be mentally able to go through daily motions. And some things to show her love. 💖💖💖


Hi everyone - here's a couple of small projects I made recently, one is a Fawn Wooble from the advent calendar, and the other is a bag for my corded headphones 🙂
Tiffany Hansen just wanted to shout out to you and let you know what a gifted teacher🍎 you are. I have been on many YouTube channels and some of those people come across as condescending, some seem to be shouting at me, some have poor video or audio. I am here because I love how you explain things. You have a gift, and I am grateful that you share it with us. I just found your stitch series/library, and WOW! This is just what I was looking for - a way to gradually up-my-game! Now we just need some projects with those stitches. 💟
















Here’s all the yarns that I got for free!
please suggest what you think I should make with the yarn!🧶❤️


Another WIP completed! The intention for this was to be a baby gift for a friend back in 2023.... oops.... so it's been in the WIP bin for a while and when Tiffany did a demo from this project a few weeks ago it inspired me to finish it up. Mine is not nearly as cute as Tiffany's but I learned a lot with this one, my first time using the wheel cutter tool thing and stitching in fabric.
