Two Crochet Blankets, Baby Dress, Birthday Gifts. Update on Crochet and Life, May 2026

In today’s video I share the latest progress on my commissioned crochet blanket, discuss all of your thoughtful comments about handmade pricing, and finally reveal how much I decided to charge for the blanket. Your perspectives were so interesting and helpful to read! I also give an update on the second 100% wool blanket I’m making for myself, share a couple of personal life updates, and show an adorable baby dress I recently crocheted for a very special little baby in my life. 💗 And lastly… I celebrated my birthday! 🎂 I’ll show you the gifts I treated myself to and share some honest thoughts and reflections about growing older, accepting and embracing the natural changes and everything that older age brings. Thank you so much for being here, for watching my videos, and for supporting my crochet journey. Your kindness and encouragement truly mean so much to me. ❤️ Crochet friends mentioned in this video @beeswaxb @TejidoPorJames @RichardandPaul Tutorial for my crochet sweater: https://youtu.be/_lcLeMA7SPw I'm working the three color ripple stripes commission blanket with Caron Simply Soft yarn.
