Feast your eyes on ten beautiful, new crochet patterns from independent designers. This time of year is so great for finding amazing new patterns to add to your project queue. As always when I look through crochet designs, I’m struck by the range of projects to choose from. There’s your whimsical and cute options, like dolls and amigurumi, that are always a joy to look at. And then there’s the beautifully textured, elegant garments and accessories that floor me every time. I won’t say which of these is my personal favorite because they’re all so wonderful in their own way. All of these beauties would make lovely Christmas presents, even if it’s just gifting the pattern to your favorite crocheter!

Working on a sample for some upcoming videos. It’s an overcast day with intermittent sunshine & I have a scruffy little sidecar. 🐶 Can’t complain!

Peg boards and craft room organization go together Peg boards and craft room organization go together like peanut butter and jelly. So, as you can see, do latch hook tools and screwdriver organizers! 🪛 
.
I think this trick translates to any tool with a thick handle, so leather working tools, punch needles, print making tools, etc. should work! What other tools am I, a needlecrafter, blanking on right now?

Pegboard storage is my favorite for craft supplies Pegboard storage is my favorite for craft supplies, so getting a few hung in my new studio has been a priority. Here’s my first attempt. 🔨 
.
Details: This pegboard panel is for organizing my knitting needles, latch hook tools, sewing thread, etc. It doesn’t need to hold much weight, so I didn’t anchor this into a stud - just used basic drywall anchors. I’ve also got a set of two 2’x4’ panels for another spot in my studio, and those will need a stud/more than 3 drywall anchors. Wish me luck!

June’s face is giving, “What fresh heck is thi June’s face is giving, “What fresh heck is this?” 😆

June’s big ears can get cold in winter, so I’m improvising a doggie ear warmer/hood for her. What are the odds she tries to shred it immediately when it’s done?
