The Ultimate Stash Bust Vest by .crochets was released today. I was able to make this with partial skeins from a previous pattern test. It felt good to use up leftovers from my stash, and I got this amazing cropped vest out of it. Normally, I'm not a huge fan of scrappy garments, but this totally worked out, and I love it!

The Cozy Brick Sweater by .loops was released this week! I tried a fun color combo, and I really love how it turned out! If you've never tried the Tunisian brick stitch, you are missing out, and I would definitely recommend you try this pattern out.

Yarn: DK in the colorways Granny Smith and 1816

This is also probably the fastest I have ever used yarn I've purchased from A Wool Gathering.

2 upcycled t-shirts and a crochet hook later, this hot mess of controllers and remotes is finally contained.

🤞🏻 remotes stop getting lost, but I won't hold my breath. 😄

Be sure to snag your favorite pom beanies and cowls from The Crafting Shack before they are gone for Spring and Summer.

I've also added some longer beanies if you prefer more of a slouchy fit.

Keep an eye out for cotton market bags and other warmer weather items in the coming weeks.

First completed project from The Tunisian Crochet Handbook by and I am in love! This is such a quick, relaxing, simple pattern with a touch of new techniques (cross stitch and new seaming) that I can't get enough of. For real, I have another set of three in progress in a different set of colors. 😊

I can't wait until I have a moment to start the Sulta Triangle Wrap with some new Malabrigo yarn I brought home last week.
