Hello, lovely crafter! Today I want to share a crochet pattern for a blanket that I made years ago. When I created this blanket in 2013, it was wildly popular on socials, but I never got around to actually writing up the pattern, since I felt it was so simple. Well, over a decade later, I decided that I would release all of the information so that anyone can make this pretty blanket. There is a lot of thought that goes into the layout of this blanket, and you will definitely enjoy the differe...| cypress|textiles

Hello, amazing crafter! Isn’t there just something about receiving a yarn order in the mail and taking that fresh yarn out of the package?

Hello, lovely crafter! Today I was thinking about my next VVCAL (2026) and I started reminiscing about how my love for “vibrant vintage” started. Folks have asked over the years, what does “VVCAL” stand for? Well, it stands for “Vibrant Vintage Crochet-Along”, and before the CALs ever came to be, I was deeeep in a phase of creating vintage looking crochet pieces, but with wildly bright and funky yarn colors. I just could not get over taking those traditional grandmother type piece...| cypress|textiles
