Stash Buster Alert! 

If you’re looking for a way to clear out some of your stash while also exploring a new creative medium, consider Yarn on Canvas. All you need is yarn, glue, canvas (or fabric) and a vision. 

Tools & Tips

Simple but effective crafting tools and tricks to work smarter not harder. 

Ah, making Chunky Yarn. As someone who prefers lighter weight yarns (2-4) I waited a while to learn this trick. The most straightforward way is to take 2 skeins of your preferred yarn and crochet with both at the same time. To work smarter though you can use this trick. 

Note: It takes some time to get used to having to pull the yarn up when the additional strand runs out. 

Project

My own personal "Best of" for projects of the past, present, and future. 

Mistakes were made but I ultimately like these Crochet Pants as a first pass at loungewear. Pants are basically longer versions of shorts… except not really. I didn’t fully account for things like flare or stitch holes. With shorts, those details are easy to overlook because of the shorter length and added coverage. For the next iteration, I’ll likely be more intentional with increases and decreases, and use linked stitches to better address those issues. Even so, these pants are soft and breathable, making them a great option for cozy lounging
