In this crochet update I’m popping in with a big, heartfelt thank you—because hitting 2,200+ subscribers was such a joyful milestone for me. I’m truly grateful for every single one of you who’s joined me from my hometown and across the USA, the UK, Australia, Belgium, the Cypress Islands, and beyond. I also want to be clear (like always): I’m not an affiliate with any yarn companies, stores, or charities I mention—I purchase my own yarn, patterns, and supplies. I chat about a few fun things I’ve got going on, including the Festival of Finishing (running June 1st through August 31st) hosted by Faye from The Crochet Circle Podcast. I also share my Swirly Girl Granny Square—my very first written pattern—and where you can find the PDF through my Ravelry links. On top of that, I’m gearing up for Christmas in July 2017 (June 25th through July 25th), just like I did last year, so you can stitch along with me and get a head start on handmade holiday makes. I also mention patterns and yarn I’m enjoying, like Moogly’s Fortunes Shawl with Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable in Gossamer.
