I’m finally doing it. I’m making a temperature blanket! I’ve been intrigued with the concept of temperature blankets ever since I saw a post about it on Instagram. Toni shared her first temperature blanket in 2019 and I just couldn’t stop thinking about it. Tracking your year through yarn is a beautiful idea but I HATE the unappealing way it is done with all the rainbows. You’d have to be great at selecting the right palette where all the colors complement each other. Even then, there’s no guarantee that they’ll work together since you can’t predict the weather. I’m not […]

Hello everyone, I’m Nirosha, 33 years old, a stay-at-home mama to 1 toddler girl and maker behind “niruscrochet”. I’m from India but currently residing in Bay area, California. I learned crochet beginning of 2018 from YouTube after seeing a few projects made by my high school friend. Initially I used to do a bit of trial/error & never finished a project but around Oct 2018 I took it more seriously while was pregnant and determined to make baby blankets/dress which I was able to successfully make before my due date. Later I got into a few Facebook groups where I […]

NÈG ENKONI(/NƐꞬ/ /Ɛ̃.KƆ.NY/) is made using Lionbrand 24/7 yarn, which is a 100% mercerized worsted weight cotton. I highly recommend using similar yarn weight and fiber content to create your own backpack. The  front of the bag features a wooden mask that are deeply rooted in the Haïtian culture, and Black culture in the Caribbeans and Africa. Very few Haïtian homes will be without those masks depicting familiar, yet unknown faces.

This past couple of years I’ve been turning back to my motherland’s cultural fashion and history for inspiration. The Petion-Ville is named after one of my favourite cities in Port-au-Prince. Petion-Ville ‍was always where the best parties and restaurants were while I was growing up in Haiti so this clutch is perfect for night out with your friends, dinner dates, and clubing. The raffia yarn is reminiscent of the straw bags you will find to this day in all over Haiti’s streets, the colourful homes and especially at markets! The zig zag red ribbon is often used in Haiti traditional […]

I’m Allison Bostrom, the designer, creator, and very-much-still-learning photographer/social media manager behind Clair de Lune Fiber Art. I design stimulating crochet and knit patterns for everything from garments and accessories to homewares. My goal in writing patterns is to encourage makers to learn new stitches and construction techniques, or to reconsider the ones they know. Though working with yarn is always relaxing for me, I find a real joy in pushing myself to do something new and different with yarn. Wherever possible, I include photo tutorials for both lefties and righties to make my patterns more approachable. I’d love to […]

With that news, Elisabeth gave me both a boost of confidence, and in a year filled with a variety of challenges, a challenge that I was very much looking forward to!

MEET THE FANTAIL SHELL STITCH. Hey everyone, I’m Divya, the Designer and maker behind Stringtierey. I started crochet almost 19 years back, as a hobby and a summer project after Highschool. Of all the crafts I learnt, from fabric painting, to stuffed toy making, Crochet was the only craft that always kept me wanting for more and stuck with me for lifetime. After completing my studies, post-graduation and a couple of years into working a full-time job, the creative side of me was craving to get back into crafts, and that’s when Stringtierey was born. It’s been 2 and a […]

So you don’t have a lot of time but you want to make something that’s super cute and easy? Or maybe you’re brand new to crochet and every pattern you see seems overwhelming and complicated. I get it.  I’m not new to the art of crochet – some would say I’ve been crocheting since the dawn of time – but that’s another story. My grandmother taught me the crochet basics. I learned how to read patterns when I was 20 and pregnant with my oldest daughter. I found a simple ripple pattern and then taught myself the mechanics of reading […]
