In this crochet catch up, I’m basically giving you my little “state of the yarn union” from December 2025 through early January 2026—what I’ve been making, what I’ve been dreaming about making, and what’s been living in that in-between WIP purgatory we all know too well. It’s cozy crochet chat energy: projects, patterns I’ve been eyeing, and the kind of gentle momentum that happens when the calendar flips and you’re still trying to remember what day it is. I also point you toward some really fun patterns and inspiration that fit my vibe right now—cute amigurumi (hello, tiny wizard), a one-skein shawl moment, a mosaic cowl that scratches that “I want it to look fancy without being complicated” itch, and raglan cardigan inspiration for when I’m ready to commit to sleeves. If you’re in a similar season—finishing up December makes, planning January projects, and wanting a few solid pattern links to keep you inspired—this one’s for you.
