A crochet robin sitting on a couch. It has an orange face, purple lower body and matching orange wing with little mustard colored feet. Mr Robin is wearing a white winter cap with a tie around his 'chin.'

Here is a crochet robin ready to hit the links on a breezy day! He's wearing a pom-pom golf hat made of peach and burnt orange. The scarf he's wearing is made of tiny granny squares with the peach & burnt orange as the center and ivory for the 2nd row. The colors alternate to make a long scarf with ivory fringe on the end.

I completed project 3 of 4 from the #PicaPauxHobbii Advent CAL. Little Grayson Robin is adorable but was a huge PITA to make! lol The hats are fun but I'm not sure about the scarf. Either way - he's finished! #crochet #amigurumi

As of 4/16/2026 the pattern is free! hobbii.com/collections/...

A pint jar cover. The base is "solid" white made of half double crochet stitches with a pink border on top and bottom. The side facing the camera is meant to be a colored egg with each row alternating light blue/orange and then there is an orange border.

This is what I came up with for April/Easter. I used a crochet "fabric" and then put cross stitch on it! Egg shape wasn't easy but I think adding the border helped call out the shape. This is a fun technique!

A pint size mason jar with a crochet cover over it. The patter is alternating space & 3 stitches making a square around with the space above the square in the row below it. The colors are top to bottom: red, purple, teal, light green, dark green, brown, another green and a redish on the bottom. It's basic but with a light inside it will be pretty!

A pint size mason jar with a crochet piece covering it. The stitches are meant to look like v's but with it stretched around the jar it isn't very uniform. Colors of each row from top down are green, teal, blue, magenta, orange, orange, magenta & purple.

I realized that just because a holiday falls in a certain month doesn't mean you want that holiday representing the entire month. So now I'm working on some generic covers. These two came from the same skein of yarn but are different patterns. #handmade #crochet

A light green tall hat, meant to look like one for a leprechaun made from crochet. There is a large brim on the bottom & a black band a few rows up with a gold "buckle" on top. A giant 3 leaf clover is attached near the top. This goes over a pint size mason jar and the owner of it puts a candle inside.

I missed Feb for the jar cozy project for my mom. Life was too much with Operation Metro Surge and crochet wasn't bringing me joy. No worries though...on to the next month! This hat for St Patrick's Day was quick to make and looks great!

The inside of a purse made from crochet. There is a fabric liner of colors that match the burger theme of the bag and two small pockets are sewn into the side that is on top in the photo. The liner makes the bag a million times more usable and I'm so thankful to my mom for the amazing work!

Remember the burger bag? My super talented Mom made a liner for it complete with pockets! It has made this bag so useful for me that it is my main purse right now. I love it!!! Thanks Mom!!! <3 #handmade #crochet #sewing

Me (a white middle aged woman with short brown and grey curly hair, and glasses), wearing the hat from the previous photo (A red and white knitted hat with a ribbed brim, and color work snowflakes with skulls in the center. It has ‘ICE out now’ on the front, and a red pom pom on top)

The latest knitting project! The pattern is Eat the Rich by Lanja Khon-Engheim, except I modified it to say ICE out now, and to be a bit bigger. The yarn is Kelbourne Woolens Camper, which is a fingering weight wool yarn 🧶

Meet Aurora! She is a deer that stands on 2 legs and is made of crochet. She's wearing a mustard color sweater that has light pink tea m triangles lines up in 3 rows around it. she also has grey leggings. Her skin color is medium brown.

Introducing friends Aurora Deer and Owen Stoat! The patterns for them were part of the Hobbii Amigurumi Crochet Along in a December 2025.

I'm way behind on this holiday crochet along but I think it will be worth the wait because these #PicaPauxHobbii designs are gorgeous and so detail oriented! Aurora Deer has joined her friend Owen Stoat finally. #crochet #amigurumi

Wow.

A crochet version of a (small) whale. This one is multi color beginning with purple on it's head some green in the middle and teal close to the tail. The tail & side flippers are a dark purple.

Did you know it's Whale Day? Here's the next #CrochetBookClub2026 project.

A crochet bag made to look like a cheeseburger. From the bottom up there is: * a wide band of "gold" for the bottom bun * a wide band of dark brown for a beef patty * a narrow band of yellow with 2 triangles pointing down for a melty piece of cheese * another wide band of dark brown for a burger patty * another narrow band of yellow with 2 triangles "dripping" down for cheese * a wide band of red for tomato * a wavy band of green for lettuce * more gold for the top bun attached to the main bag * a rounded "cover" for the bag made of gold yarn to look like the top bun with off white "sesame seeds" added The strap is about an inch wide and is crocheted in the same color as the bun

A crochet bag made to look like a cheeseburger. This image shows the top of the bag lifted so you can see the whole project including some red "ketchup" ties that can be used to cinch the top closed From the bottom up there is: * a wide band of "gold" for the bottom bun * a wide band of dark brown for a beef patty * a narrow band of yellow with 2 triangles pointing down for a melty piece of cheese * another wide band of dark brown for a burger patty * another narrow band of yellow with 2 triangles "dripping" down for cheese * a wide band of red for tomato * a wavy band of green for lettuce * more gold for the top bun attached to the main bag * a rounded "cover" for the bag made of gold yarn to look like the top bun with off white "sesame seeds" added The strap is about an inch wide and is crocheted in the same color as the bun

The bag strap up close. This is the thermal stitch and I believe it gets the name because it would be very warm if made as clothing or a blanket. There are no holes!

Focus has been difficult lately but when I saw this pattern I knew I had to make it. I loved all the details and I learned a new stitch - the strap is made using Thermal Stitch and I think it's going to hold up really well!

A great mug made of crochet with a maroon handle and a large maroon heart on the front. it has a brown top to look like it's full of hot chocolate and a small blob of white on top for the whipped cream.

The final #CrochetBookClub2026 project of the month is today - Hot Cocoa Day! The pattern calls for a face but instead I added a heart applique using this pattern: www.crochetleaf.com/basic-croche...

Yes, I enjoyed it!

This is a scarf made of crochet to match the Nyan Cat meme. The long scarf part is a ripple of 1 row each of the rainbow: Red on top then orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. On one end there is a rectangle shape made of tan with a pink rectangle just a little smaller on top. the lock rectangle has small dashes of darker pink & white on top representing sprinkles. Together they are supposed to look like a pop tart. The pop tart has a gray car head on the bottom right, a great tail off the middle left and 4 small gray paws along the bottom. The face of the cat is square eyes and a mouth that looks like a capital E flipped with the long side down.

There's a lot of bad happening in MN right now so when my teen asked me to make her a #NyanCat scarf I dropped everything to make one. It felt good to make her smile!

This reminds me of The Wild Robot books by Peter Brown! <3

A glass pint jar sitting on a table. It's got a cozy wrap around it that is white on the bottom 2/3 and then has a stripe of sparkly pink and one of sparkly purple on top. There is a pompom attached to the top and there is a face on the white part with black eyes and an orange "nose." It is meant to look like a snow person with a hat.

Here's the January pint jar cover I made for my mom. It's a snow person! Until you turn on a tealight and then it's a ... chick? lol She's got candy canes in it for now so the lighting shouldn't be a problem. #crochet #handmadegift

A glass pint jar sitting on a couch. There is a cozy type thing around the jar made of red with a white row around the top. In the middle there is a black row with a yellow rectangle over it. It's supposed to look like santas suit with his belt and a gold buckle

A glass pint jar covered with a crochet wrap that is meant to look like a turkey. The main part of the jar is covered in brown. There are 3 ovals sticking up in the back, one in orange, red and yellow. The face is a small white patch with a yellow triangle attached for the beak and then the red dangly thing as well.

It looks like I forgot to post these pint jar covers when I made them last year. I'm trying to make one for each month for my mom! Halloween/October was a pumpkin. Here's the goofy looking turkey for November and Santa suit for December.

A crochet succulent planter. The pot is round and made from a variegated yarn in pinks, purples and teal. The plants are 4 different type of succulent in 4 different green yarns. It's a little crowded for my taste but since I had made all the pieces I included them all!

Book cover for Whimsical Stitches: A Modern Makers Book of Amigurumi Crochet Patterns by Lauren Espy

This year for #CrochetBookClub2026 we're working through Whimsical Stitches by Lauren Espy. The group admin cleverly tied each project to a "holiday" throughout the year. The first one is today: Houseplant Appreciation Day! Presenting the succulent planter.

Crochet piece in dark blue. It is a rectangle folded over a railing. There is a hole in the middle where the user puts their head and it becomes a wearable blanket.

This week for #CrochetAway the theme is Let's Get Cozy. I've made 2 wearables that get use and this is one of them. My husband requested a wearable blanket and he picked out the yarn too! This gets regular use during the winter here. #crochet #handmade

A bedroom with a king size bed displaying my latest completed crochet project - a blanket made up of granny squares representing the books I read in 2025. Each one is unique and there is no sort of order, except that I attached them in the order I read the books. There are 99 squares (9x11) of 9 rows each

Ta daaaaaa! I am so happy with the final result of this labor of love! The randomness is something that is growing on me & I was so excited to start using the blanket already on January 1. #crochet #bookblanket2025 #grannysquare

My 2025 Wrap-Up from StoryGraph. It shows my first (Honey Girl) & last (The Christmas Tree Farm) reads as well as the longest (Iron Flame) and shortest (Your Black Friend). There are some stats and an example of a 5 star read from the year (And So I Roar). I didn't realize there would be so much info so I think in 2026 I'm going to try rating all the books I read.

Crochet granny square with the following rows beginning at the center: 1 dark purple 1 light purple 1 dark blue 1 light blue 1 dark green 1 light green 1 yellow 1 orange 1 red A rainbow!! :)

My book blanket needed 1 more square to even out the 9x11 square layout I was working on so I decided to make a rainbow one. This works because a) I love rainbows and b) LGBTQIA+ was my top tag for the year!

My final finish for 2025! Book number 98 is also a holiday one. I'm very proud of my reading accomplishments this year. I finished 2 reading challenges on StoryGraph as well as all these squares!

Crochet granny square with the following colors, beginning at the center: 2 rows dark green 3 rows white with red & green speckles 2 rows red 2 rows light green

I wanted to fit in some holiday theme books and just barely did. The first one is book 97 and I love how Christmas-y the square turned out.

This is book 96. It took me a little while to see the connection between the stories.

Audiobook cover of Bottom of the Pyramid: A Memoir of Preserving Dance for Myself and Starring in My Own Life by Nia Sioux

Crochet granny square attached to other squares on the left/top/right. This square has the following rows beginning at the center: 3 rows light yellow 1 row dark brown 2.75 rows variegated pastels of all colors (ran out and started the cream mid row) 2.25 rows cream

I've watched some Dance Mom's with my teen over the past year. After listening to Nia's book I think I might be done giving them my time. Nia was graceful in her story telling and I'm glad I was able to get her perspective.

Book 94 for the year.

Thanks! They are made as a traditional granny square with 3 dcs for each cluster.
