Thank you for letting us follow along with your crochet advent calendar. Can’t wait to see the rest!

December 15, 2025 🧵 I have a love-hate relationship with color changes. Variegated thread is cool and all, but to make something like this, I have to deal with all the thread ends and there’s no way around that fact.

Adorable mice! I love the ears and the curly tails and that they’re wearing tiny sweaters.

December 13, 2025 🧵 Made something sunny for this dark time of the year.

Wake up babe, new leggy frog just dropped

December 11, 2025 🧵 Stuffing a pepper with yarn scraps.

I also love this little poinsettia 😁

December 9, 2025 🧵 Cotton thread snowflakes before and after blocking. To block, I soaked the snowflake in cold water, blotted, adjusted the shape with my fingers, and laid it out to dry. No pinning or stiffening, just a little something to relax and flatten the motif.

This time of year, I get distracted on the regular by customers in a nice sweater or shawl or hat or scarf.

December 7, 2025 🧵 Playing around with crocheting something more linear. I dunno. Going in circles may be my first and true love.

These are lovely. Are you able to share the patterns?

December 5, 2025 🧵 Two things in life are certain. I will fiddle with the pattern, and a cat will include itself in the photoshoot.

I know right? It’s so satisfying.

December 4, 2025 🧵 I forgot to crochet back-loop-only for the added texture, but I still love how these turned out.

I love botanical designs and I just adore this one!

December 3, 2025 🧵 Forty-nine tiny hearts, all finished off and blocked. I made a total of 51 hearts, but one was misshapen and one got lost (and has since been found).

“a bit scratchy” 😁😆😂 Also, this is a multitasking kitty. Just look at them, sitting on top of the pattern and on top of the yarn at the same time. What a work ethic!

December 2, 2025 🧵 Ding dong, the spool of thread is dead. It still had three-and-a-quarter hearts’ worth of thread in the last pic. Now to deal with a hundred and two thread ends 😬

Scarf goals.

December 1, 2025 ⛓️ Returning to the Christmas trees, and trying a different approach. I found these gold-tone star charms with two holes; I’m gonna try crocheting a tree into the bottom hole. They came individually wrapped, all fancy-like 😁

I’m also seeing a unicorn. Maybe if there were two points for the two ears it would read more horse-y. I do love the shaping of the legs and tail. It looks like it’s strutting in a parade.

November 30, 2025 🧵 I’m up to 48 tiny crochet hearts. I do not need any more but I’m still making them because I can’t quit now. The spool looks just about to run out of thread, but it‘s looked just about to run out of thread for the last five or six hearts.

I know that checking gauge is A Thing You’re Supposed to Do, but I’ve never knitted or crocheted a swatch in my life. Projects coming out an unexpected size is Just Part of the Charm.

November 29, 2025 🧵 Someone called these “blue pumpkins” and I’ve had a bit of a complex ever since. Do they look like blueberries to you, or do you also see weird pumpkins?

Just let the wiggle worms hypnotize you.

November 28, 2025 🧵 A life-size crochet blueberry. Okay, it’s on the big side, but I have eaten some blueberries this big.

Gorgeous! ❄️ Cover that tree!

November 27, 2025 🐾 Different creature, same old story.

How any of us cat people get any crochet done is a mystery to me.

November 26, 2025 🧵 Backwards-progress pic of the shawl. I had to frog it back one round, and at this point, one round is a lot.

A+ problem solving 😁

November 26, 2025 🧵 Third attempt at bead crochet. Instead of pre-stringing the beads, I used beads large enough to pull a loop through. It worked, but I don’t really like how the motif looks with the large beads 🫤

Good start. What size are you aiming for?

November 24, 2025 🧵 Day three of trying to use up this spool of thread. I’ve made 32 hearts and counting.

Too funny! I’m jealous of anyone whose cat consents to wearing anything, because my cats would never.

November 23, 2025 🧵 Getting fancy with the dangly bits.

Mood. I’m currently finding out how many crochet hearts I can get out of one spool of thread. It’s more than 20.

November 22, 2025 🧵 A flower motif in thin size 40 thread, and a second one without the final round.

This is the way of the world.

November 21, 2025 🧵 And this is for sure my favorite outtake.

🎵 Whoa, we’re halfway there 🎶 Looking good! Love the colorway.

November 20, 2025 🧵 This may be my favorite mug pic. The fall colors outside add that little extra.

Forbidden breakfast.

November 19, 2025 🧵 I have the cutest little dish that I use for blocking earrings. This pair looked particularly lovely in the dish today.

Is this going to be a series? I hope this will be a series.

November 18, 2025 ⛓️ Since I clearly do not have enough bits and bobs to dangle off my earrings, I made some leaves out of polymer clay.

Crochet gore is a new one for me. I hate it but I also love it.

November 17, 2025 ⛓️ A package of new toys, I mean crafting supplies, just arrived. There’s quite a few but these four are my faves. Can’t wait to make something beautiful.

Sorry about the bad week. Not sorry about the goblin, he’s a cutie.

November 16, 2025 🧶 Same basket, but in focus. The basket itself is from a while ago. I added the flower and butterfly because ✨fancy✨
