TWIN SISTERS BEANIE PATTERN

A lightweight wool beanie that is perfect for the autumn season; chevron shapes represent local mountain ranges and the ribbing keeps it comfy and cozy.

This beanie was inspired by our local mountains, the Twin Sisters. Mountains that I have now climbed and backpacked around numerous times. I love the beauty of where I live, and love to model my makes after natural scenery. That’s why it was a no-brainer to make this mountain beanie after our local Twin Sister mountain range. I am so happy with how it came out!

SALEM EARWARMER PATTERN

The perfect ear warmer for a spooooky fall! Or just anytime of the year if you are a cat lover like me. I modeled this kitty headband off of my own little black kitty and am thrilled with how it looks.

Since it is officially fall here in the Pacific Northwest, I have been lighting scented candles, listening to the rain fall, and watching The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina the Teenage Witch while I crochet on the couch with my cats next to me. All of this has inspired me to make a black cat earwarmer pattern, just in time for fall!

Crochet your own market bag that not only looks adorable, but stuffs into itself for compact and easy travel!

Spring has long sprung and it is the season of farmers markets and fresh veggies. I have been wanting to design a market bag for quite some time, but was not inspired enough until I had the idea to make one that stuffs into it’s own adorable drawstring bag. Now I can store the whole thing in my purse, backpack, or car and always have it at the ready! Plus the drawstring bag has a few colorful options – there’s something for everyone!

WATERMELON BEACH BAG PATTERN

This bright and roomy watermelon beach bag is coming everywhere with me this summer and may just be the perfect summer project bag – it can hold so. much. yarn.

Beach season is here and I don’t know about you, but I am ready! I love packing a bag for an afternoon on the beach and I designed this bag just for that purpose. I love the bobble texture on the front and especially the nice, thick comfy handles.

WILD YARNING | HOW TO COMBINE NATURE WITH YOUR CRAFT

I am passionate about inspiring others to find their creative niche and connect it to nature. The reason I started my blog was to inspire other makers to take their makes into the outdoors; to feel the peace and energy that I feel when I am outside. My goal is to spread the word that nature and yarn combine beautifully and anyone can join in – whether you look out the window while crocheting, create a warm hat to hike in, or climb a mountain with your yarn in your pack. I want to create a community around this idea, so I started the hashtag #wildyarning to get this rolling and am so excited to see people participating. I want everyone to have fun, both creating their makes and then taking them outside!

It is always amazing to me how such simple stitches can become such a hilarious shape! I saw this adorable little amigurumi eggplant pattern by Ollie + Holly and knew I needed to make a chalk bag version! I am really on a roll here with veggie chalk bags, though I want to make a departure back into fruit and work up a banana next. The sky is the limit when it comes to cute and funky chalk bag patterns!

CHUCKANUT SWEATER PATTERN

Wow, was this a fun little pattern to design! A textured, lightweight sweater made with squishy mohair yarn and a super-easy design. Of course I made my kitty a matching version and he loves it!

I have been dying to create a sweater out of this electric blue mohair yarn every since I got my hands on it! The color, the texture, the squish. It’s all been calling to me from it’s special spot on my yarn shelves. For this special pattern, I was inspired by the horizontal ribbing from my Muir Chalk Bag Pattern and created this delicious sweater using it.
