Hello my lovelies — in this video I’m having a proper cosy catch-up and looking back at my goals for 2025 to see what I actually managed to do, and what needs to roll over into 2026. It’s very much a gentle reset after I’ve been under the weather with a cold, so I’m easing myself back into normal and having a little reflect-and-plan moment with you. I chat about how I’m doing, what I’m hoping to focus on next, and the kind of realistic goals that keep crochet feeling calm rather than stressful. I also mention a few of the lovely channels I’ve been watching — Natasha (@hooksstitches9535), Litsa (@cocoscrochet6380), and Chris (@loopyloopuk) — because I always think it’s nice to share the creators who inspire me and keep me company while I’m stitching. And if you’re looking for blanket inspiration, I point you towards Cherry Heart (especially for the Battenburg blanket), which is a great place to browse when you fancy starting something new. Thank you for being so patient while I’ve been quiet, and I hope this video helps you feel motivated (but not pressured) for your own crafting goals too.
