Hello my dearest friends, and welcome to my first episode of 2026. In Episode 101 I’m having a gentle, cosy catch-up—nothing too dramatic to show this week, but I still wanted to pop on and spend a little crochet time with you. It’s very much one of those calm vlogs where I’m sharing where I’m at with my makes, what’s been on my hook, and just easing into the new year together. I chat about a bit of FO and WIP, and I also start a new blanket project to kick off January with some fresh ideas. For the blanket, I’m looking to the Battenberg Blanket pattern from Cherry Heart, which is such a lovely, classic design to settle into when you want something comforting and steady. I’ve also linked the beanie pattern I mentioned, in case you fancy a quick make alongside your bigger projects. Thank you for being here with me—here’s to a soft start to 2026, one stitch at a time.
