Catching up on January while getting a pedicure. Dedication
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!

Hello everyone!
I’m new to this community and to the life of crochet. (Literally a 2 weeks new baby here!) I’ve made a headband for my daughter and a few square stitches. I ordered a beginner kit off of Amazon and just started watching videos on YouTube, which is how I came to be here. My question is where do I start? I have a kit that has a few skeins of yarn, only measuring 56 yards each. So not much room to play with in the long haul. I like to be organized so can someone please tell me their must haves to keep the inspiration flowing and anxiety/OCD at bay I’d much appreciate any and all tips. No one I know crochets so no help there. Thanks a bunch!

Here are pictures of all the entries into the Spring Crochet Contest.
The pictures that look more refined and like magazine covers are just better representations of what was shared in the actual meeting.
Everyone did such an amazing job!!
I was seriously blown away at how much you all pushed yourselves, worked outside of your comfort zones. Some of these projects looking quite complex.
Those of you who went a step further and designed your own patterns or made your own alterations deserve a round of applause.
This is why I enjoy these crochet competitions so much! I can't wait for the next one. To Be Announced at our next Wednesday Crafter's Gathering.

It always surprises me how many options there are when it comes to Granny Square projects. Picking which square you want to make, the colors you want to use. Then how you want to join the squares together and lastly what border you choose to use. Honestly, one project can be done many many different ways. It's very inspiring.
Recently I have come across 3 different joining methods that I am obsessed with. They are by far my favorite to use produce very different results. Look out for my next Blog post where I will go more in depth with each joining method. Also, look out for my next tutorial where I will be demonstrating all 3 joining methods.
What is YOUR favorite joining method to use when joining Granny Squares? Maybe you have never joined before. Which join method sounds most interesting? Do you not enjoy joining squares? I would love to know!

This is the first 2 months of my blanket. I am using historical Temps from the year my son was born and doing 1/2 row per day.

Hi Friends! I was wanting to make Tiffany's pattern Summer Beach Tote Bag. The yarn used was Lily Sugar & Cream. Is Crafter's Secret Cotton Yarn from Hobby Lobby comparable to this? Do you think I could use this in place of Lilly Sugar & Cream? Or can I just use any 100% cotton yarn? I haven't used this brand before. Thank you for any help! Have a great day!

At Wednesday's Crafter's Gathering Live it was brought up that someone wanted to learn more about yarn. I would love to do a Yarn Unit here for you all in the Crochet Club. Are there any specific questions you would like me to make sure I hit on?

Just because I'm super curious, what was the moment you knew you were hooked on crochet?

Hi, Tiffany (and anyone else)… I’m getting concerned about my February stitch. I remember hearing on a recording that everyone’s was veering to one side, but if they are both going outward then something is wrong. Mine seems to be doing that. I’m six rows in, eight more to go. I have 192 stitches across, and 95 bead stitches across. Should I keep going? Do I need to change something?
Also I tried to show it some in the more full blanket pictures, but the February stitch is so much bigger then the January that it’s kind of fanning out where if I make it all straight, it ends up waving because it’s so much wider. Not sure if that makes sense?
Desperately trying to catch up to March so any help would be amazing. Thanks!
