Hello and welcome to week seven of the HodgePodge Crochet hosted 2016 Afghan Sampler CAL! I hope you like my first square and if you have any questions, let me know here, in the comments, or in the CAL Facebook group. There is a downloadable pdf at the bottom of this post if you’d like …
Ah! Another week of winter. Or at least that’s what the weather is doing here where I live. The cold on my ears has motivated me to reach for some bulky yarn again and make a nice, cozy hat. I really wanted to make a Becca Hat to go with the Becca Scarf I post …
So, last week I wrote up my Penny Penguin pattern and posted it. This was due to the fact that I had a bad wrist/hand situation and I wanted a fun and quick pattern to post. Well, the response was HUGE! I had tons of traffic, lots of shares on FB, and some Pinterest pins. …
So, it’s definitely winter here! It’s gotten cold and now I’m crocheting under blankets and never too far from my hand is cup of warm coffee.I’m still very much enjoying playing with thicker yarns and because it got cold around here I decided to make another ear warmer because sometimes it’s not fun to hide …

So, full disclosure, this is my first review of yarn and the first time someone gave me something to review! I’m super excited and I had a ton of fun with this yarn. I was sent Red Heart Medley, in the color Garden, and this was the stand out of all the yarn I received. …
While Halloween isn’t quite here yet, I’ve decided no more Halloween patterns (not that I’m sick of them, I just got something else in mind). Instead, I’ve unveiling another hat pattern, which I’ve posted photos of on FB, the Katie Hat. It’s the companion to Katie Cowl, only I used bulky yarn for the first …
When I created my Candy Corn Bag I had a few people ask for the pattern for the necklace I also linked to. I wasn’t sure if I would get around to the pattern before Halloween, so I didn’t promise anything. Fortunately, I was able to find the time to write it up! The best …
