Happy Friday, my wonderful Yarn Zebras—surprise! In this chatty little update, I’m honestly color me baffled because I’ve hit a snag with my latest pattern and I need your brains on it. You know how it goes: you’re cruising along, feeling good, and then one tiny thing starts acting up and suddenly you’re side-eyeing the whole project. So we talk through what’s going on, what I’ve tried so far, and I ask for your ideas so I can get this sorted without losing the fun. I also show off the crochet hooks I got for Christmas (because yes, we absolutely have to look at the new goodies), and we brainstorm a color challenge I want to start soon—except I need help figuring out what the challenge should actually be. I’ve also got my Crochet World magazine, so I’m teasing the possibility of a flip-through, plus a little “wait, Furls is doing what?” moment. And because real life doesn’t stop, I share a winter storm heads-up: schedules and livestreams may get delayed or canceled, so please stay warm, stay safe, and charge those devices.
