Hello! I am Ellie and I am passionate about inspiring others to find their creative niche. I post free crochet patterns for exploration and adventure. I want everyone to have fun, both creating their makes and then taking them outside! That’s why I started the hashtag #WildYarning!

I recently ended a year of #Vanlife with my husband. During our year of travel I discovered more about crochet than in the last ten years combined. I am a self-taught crocheter and am always eager to learn more. I decided to start a blog to share what I have learned and more fully join this creative community.

When I am not crocheting, I am mountain biking, rock climbing, mountaineering, hiking, backpacking, paddling, and generally spending time outdoors in my local community. I want to bring an outdoorsy vibe to the crochet world and hope you love my patterns!

My silly and bright climbing chalk bag patterns are some of my favorite designs. You can find more colorful and easy to follow crochet patterns like these on my blog!
