NEW Crochet Riddle!!
Help Betty find out how many projects she made of each project type and color.
Join Me for the 2025 Temperature-Sampler Blanket Crochet Along!I am beyond excited to announce the launch of my 2025 Temperature-Sampler Blanket Crochet Along (CAL), kicking off in January! This project will be a fun, interactive, and beautiful way to document your year while learning new crochet stitches and creating a one-of-a-kind blanket that tells the story of your year through color and temperature.For this CAL, we'll be making one row every day, documenting the temperature for that day and using a specific yarn color to match the temperature range from our very own Temperature Gauge. I’ve created a Temperature Gauge with a color indicator that will help guide you in choosing the right yarn for each day’s temperature.But that's not all! Each month, I’ll be sharing a Calendar Stitch Card, which includes the month’s calendar along with crochet stitch instructions. Each month, you’ll work the row using the stitch of the month, paired with the appropriate yarn color based on that day's temperature. This will give you a beautiful, textured blanket that grows month by month.I’m really excited to share that we’ll be learning 12 different crochet stitches throughout the year—some you may have tried before, and others will be new to you. Whether you’ve crocheted for years or are a newer crocheter, this project will be a fun and rewarding challenge. Every month’s stitch will add a unique texture to the blanket, making it a truly personalized and stunning piece of art.One of the best parts of this CAL is the new community section in the Crochet Club. This space will be dedicated to the Temperature-Sampler Blanket project, where you can:Ask questions: Whether you're new to the project or need help with a stitch, this section is the perfect place to ask for guidance.Share your progress: I can’t wait to see how your blanket is coming along! Whether it’s a photo of a finished row, an update on your materials, or just a note about how the project is going, sharing your journey will be so fun for everyone.Discuss materials: Not sure what yarn to use? Want to talk about hook sizes or other tools? The community section is the place to chat about it all.I encourage everyone to participate, whether you’re jumping in with your first CAL or are a seasoned pro. This project is all about community, creativity, and making something beautiful together.To get started, all you need to do is make sure you're part of my Crochet Club, where I’ll be sharing the Calendar Stitch Cards and all the information you need to follow along. The community section will be open for sharing, asking questions, and engaging with fellow crocheters throughout the entire project.I can’t wait to kick off this journey with you all and see how your Temperature-Sampler Blankets turn out. It's going to be a year-long adventure, and I’m so thrilled to have you all along for the ride!

In April, I made a Spring Bed Doll, which I shared with you all, and decided to make one for my Mom who resides in a long-term care facility. She loves anything with sunflowers and was called Little Miss Sunshine as a kid. This is my Little Miss Sunshine which I'll be giving to Mom when I see her this week in Omaha.

I need some help with this pattern, I have enlarged the filet pattern as stated in the pattern. But I think the pattern might be wrong on the count of stitches. So my question is the written pattern does not match the pattern chart.
Example row 2 and 3
Row 2: Ch 2, tr 27, ch 1, sk 1, tr 31, ch 1, sk 1, tr 28 and turn.
Row 3: Ch 2, tr 25, ch 1, sk 1, tr 3, ch 1, sk 1, tr 27, ch 1, sk 1, tr 3, ch 1, sk 1, tr 26 and turn.
Now the chart blocks white ones do they represent stitches ? If so when you come to the black block that is the ch 1 sk 1 do you count the next st as the start of the group of stitches? I have frogged out the first 6 rows at least20 times. I am not a beginner crocheter. I consider myself advanced but this written to chart is confusing. Hope that is clear what I am asking.

Question on blocking. I am making my first garment. The fiber is cotton/bamboo and is machine washable. The pattern says to block but I have also been told that blocking isn’t as important when fibers are machine washable. So…. Block or not?

Crochet Therapy: How Crafting Relieves Stress and Boosts Creativity
🤗🧶Hey there, fellow yarn enthusiasts!
Today, let's dive into something close to my heart—crochet therapy. You know, it's not just about making cute scarves or cozy blankets; it's about finding peace and tapping into your creativity in a crazy world.✨🧘🏼♀️
Finding Peace in Every Stitch -
You know that feeling when you pick up your hook and yarn after a long day? It's like hitting pause on the chaos. The rhythmic motions and focus on the pattern—total Zen mode. It's my mini meditation session, helping me unwind and chill out.🌱
Creative Expression and Mental Health-
Crochet isn't just about following instructions; it's about making something uniquely yours. Whether you're into funky designs or classic styles, each project lets you express yourself. And let's be real, finishing a piece you've put your heart into? It's a confidence booster like no other. 💖🧶😊
Community and Connection-
One of the best parts of being a crafter? The community. Whether it's chatting on forums or meeting up with my Crochet Club pals, it's like having a support squad who gets why you're obsessed with yarn. They cheer you on, share tips, and sometimes just geek out over new yarn finds together. 👯💭
Getting Started with Crochet Therapy-
If you're curious about crochet therapy, start simple. A scarf, a hat, maybe a cushion cover—it's about enjoying the process and feeling that sense of accomplishment. Don't stress about perfection; just let yourself get lost in the stitches and see where it takes you.🧣🧶🧣

I've been looking for awhile for a Cardigan pattern that I liked, and could do. Finally found one on MJ's Off the Hook channel. This will be perfect for cool mornings when we're camping.

Here is the link to the crochet top I was wearing in the Crafter's Gathering Meeting last night!

It is a paid pattern so I can't openly make a tutorial for it BUT if people purchased the pattern we could do a CAL together. Something we can chat about more if there is enough interest. 🤗💖🧶
