okay so mandala blankets I made my first real mandala blanket in spring 2022 when I was basically living on my couch binge-watching The Office for the third time. The circular design thing seemed intimidating at first but honestly once you get the rhythm it’s pretty straightforward, just repetitive which is either meditative or mind-numbing […]
okay so snoods are basically hooded scarves I made my first one in spring 2022 when it was still kinda cold in the mornings but not freezing and I needed something that wouldn’t make me look like I was trying too hard. You know those accessories that are functional but also you can just throw […]
okay so barbie clothes are weirdly addictive once you start I made my first crochet barbie dress back in spring 2022 when my niece kept complaining that all her dolls had “boring clothes” and I was like fine, I’ll just figure this out. Didn’t use a pattern because honestly I couldn’t find one that made […]
okay so I made this strawberry bag last summer – like june 2024 I think? – when I was binge watching some cooking show I can’t even remember the name of now and honestly it turned out way cuter than I expected but also there were definitely some moments where I wanted to throw the […]
okay so patchwork blankets from scraps I made one of these in spring 2022 when I had like four bags of leftover yarn just sitting in my closet and I was tired of looking at them. The whole thing started because I joined this yarn subscription box thing for like three months and then cancelled […]

The whole thing started when my sister was complaining about the same issue and I thought okay […]
okay so amigurumi basics first The magic ring is where you gotta start and honestly I fought with this for like three weeks back in spring 2022 when I was making my first little octopus. You make a loop with your yarn, crochet into it, then pull it tight so there’s no hole in the […]
so you wanna make a mosaic crochet blanket okay so last spring 2024 I finally sat down and made one of those mosaic overlay blankets everyone kept posting about and honestly it’s not as complicated as it looks but there ARE some things I wish someone had told me before I started. I used Lion […]
okay so neck warmers are actually way easier than you think I made my first real cowl in spring 2022 when I was binge-watching Succession and needed something to do with my hands because that show stressed me out. Started with what I thought was gonna be a simple infinity scarf but it turned into […]
okay so granny square pants are basically what they sound like but actually making them wearable is trickier than you’d think. I made my first pair in spring 2022 when I was stuck at home with nothing to do and figured why not turn those squares I’d been making into something other than another blanket […]
