In 2025, I completed my first book blanket and it was one of my most favourite projects of all time. It was definitely a challenge to keep up with a yearlong project but oh so worth it. I loved it so much that I am committing to doing another one for 2026! Whenever I've shared my book blanket progress online I've had DMs and comments asking for a pattern.

Initially, I tried to narrow it down to just two or three different ones but at Christmas we're allowed to indulge and be a bit excessive and over the t

One of the most common questions I get asked is 'Do you have a granny square pattern?' I've shared lots of content over the last year for projects that use granny squares such as my book blanket and granny square jumper (pattern in process!) and I always get asked how I do my granny squares, do I have a pattern or tutorial.

Beanie season is upon us, quite possibly the best season of the year! It's no secret that I love a beanie. I love to wear them, crochet them and make cute ones for my boys.
