In this video I’m doing a little “crochet shopping” trip—but not for yarn this time! I’m sharing some of the crochet-related goodies I picked up from Amazon, AliExpress, and my local thrift store (Value Village). It’s all the fun supporting stuff that makes projects come together: buttons, blocking tools, and a couple of books I’m excited to flip through for inspiration. The big decision in this one is buttons for my crochet campfire cardigan. I needed a bit more help narrowing down what looks right, and I’m finally making that final choice. I also talk about why I wanted a blocking kit and how it fits into getting a more polished finish on wearables and other projects. Plus, I show the crochet/needlecraft books I grabbed—because you never know when you’re going to find a gem that sparks your next make. If you love budget-friendly craft finds and seeing the behind-the-scenes “notions” side of crochet, you’re going to enjoy this shop-with-me style video.
