In this February “From Needles to Hook” episode, I’m doing what I do best: checking in on my makes, cheering on the WIPs, and celebrating the wins—because honestly, “WIP WIP HOORAY” is a whole lifestyle around here. I chat through what I’ve been stitching on lately (knit and crochet), what’s moving forward, and what’s still sitting in time-out while I figure out the next step. If you love that cozy, realistic maker energy—progress over perfection—this one’s for you. I also get into yarn (because of course I do). We talk about the colorful thread that connects all of us makers, plus how new yarn releases and tools can spark fresh motivation when your project mojo is wobbling. And then we take a little creative detour into travel inspiration—how exploring different places and cultures can feed your crafting brain in the best way. I wrap it up with a shout-out to WeCrochet’s Dots Hooks (with a discount code), plus where to find all the links if you want to shop what I’m using.
