Hello, my friends 👋 Happy International Women’s Da Hello, my friends 👋 Happy International Women’s Day! Happy March! Happy Saturday!  It’s been a minute since I shared Seamus (the four leaf clover 🍀) but he’s always very popular this time of year! Pattern is free on my site, of course. Let me know if you want the link and I’ll DM it to you (if you ask for the link but don’t get a message from me, it’s probably because your account is private and I can’t message you!)  Not many updates from me, but I am very much still on a reading kick lately; I had a birthday a couple of weeks ago 🎉; I picked up a new hobby (because I may be a year older but some things shall never change) and started taking fiddle lessons; Mike and I are taking a little vacation next week which I’m pumped about! ☀️  The world is bleak right now but I hope you are well. 💕  #crochet #amigurumi #crochetclover #crochetfourleafclover #crochetlove #freecrochetpattern #freeamigurumipattern #crochetstpatricksday #crochetpaddysday #spinayarncrochet

Happy New Year, friends! I’m a few days late becau Happy New Year, friends! I’m a few days late because I’ve been enjoying the holidays to the fullest!  Wanted to pop on and share a make I’ve been working on for the last 6 months or so. It was a gift so I couldn’t share before now. 😊 I’ve made many a granny square but this is the first sunburst granny square project I’ve done and I loved it! Did you manage to finish all the handcrafted gifts you planned this year?  #crochet #grannysquare #sunburstgrannysquare #grannysquareblanket #crochetblanket #crochetlove #spinayarncrochet

Time for another post in the dino series! This is Time for another post in the dino series! This is Brian the Brachiosaurus and he is, perhaps, the friendliest dinosaur around! 🦕 Brian was actually my first dinosaur pattern and still one of my faves!

*TWO New Patterns!* 🎅🏻🤶🏻 Listen, is it totally u *TWO New Patterns!* 🎅🏻🤶🏻  Listen, is it totally unacceptable that I’ve been designing Christmas ornament patterns for EIGHT years and am only now releasing a pattern for Mrs. Claus and Santa? Maybe. But they’re here now! Yay! Love how this matching pair turned out and I hope you love them too. I have employed some joining techniques that I have never used before so it was definitely a fun challenge.

Free patterns are on my site and PDFs can be purchased in my shops (and P.S. my cyber weekend sale is still going until end of day so you can get them at 30% off!) Find all the links in my profile!
