Last summer, I was wandering through a farmers market when I spotted the most gorgeous basket of strawberries. The red against the green leaves, those tiny white seeds dotting the surface. I stood there thinking, "I need to crochet this." Not the strawberries themselves, but […]

I call this one the Rose Garden Belt, and it started in a sketchbook I forgot I had. A few years back, I was cleaning out my craft room and found an old notebook filled with medallion drawings. Scalloped edges, spiral centers, little notes about […]
This bag is ONE OF THOSE PROJECTS that looks way more impressive than it actually is to make. Seriously. If you can crochet a rectangle and a circle, you can absolutely make this stunning barrel bag that will have everyone asking where you bought it. […]

I found this design tucked away in an old notebook from a few years back. I had named it the "Sunshine Dress" and scribbled little daisies in the margins. I made the original for my friend’s baby shower, and she cried happy tears when she […]
I don’t know about you, but I have always been a little obsessed with jewelry that tells a story. There’s something about wearing a handmade piece around your neck that feels so much more personal than anything you could grab off a store rack. This […]
When I sat down to design this butterfly, I had a very specific vision in mind. I wanted something delicate enough to look almost like jewelry, but substantial enough to show off beautiful crochet stitches. I spent hours playing with color combinations until I landed […]
I set out to design something truly special for this pattern. I wanted a piece that would capture the warmth of fall foliage, feel like wearable art, and challenge my micro crochet skills in the best way possible. The goal was to create an ear […]

Cables look intimidating. I get it. Those twisted, braided textures seem like something only expert crocheters can pull off. But here’s the truth: if you can wrap your yarn around a hook and work a double crochet, you can absolutely make cables. This Lavender Twist […]
I call this one the Sunshine Dress, and she has been living in my design notebook for nearly three years now. The original sketch came to me during a particularly dreary February when I was dreaming of garden parties and warm breezes. I wanted to […]
