In this Stitch Away Crochet Collab update with my friend Sarah from @1Hook2Hands, I’m checking in on my Sophie's Universe blanket progress and sharing where I’m at this week. We’re meeting up every Thursday to keep each other motivated, compare notes, and just enjoy the journey of working through this gorgeous blanket together. In this video, I’m excited because I’ve completed Part 7, and I’m getting ready to move right into Part 8. Before I jump ahead, I’m also talking about blocking—because for me, it makes such a difference in how those sections settle and how clean everything looks as the blanket grows. I also share a few ways you can connect with me outside YouTube (Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook), plus info for anyone who wants to send happy mail. And if you’re looking for more crochet fun, I link the Duck Duck Dishcloth Challenge from @MissisYarniverseAndMore-k8u so you can stitch along with that too. If you’re crocheting Sophie's Universe (or thinking about starting), this is your weekly nudge to keep going—one part at a time.
