I’ve been channeling all my maker energy into crocheting since it’s the only thing that really appeals to me right now. My Ravelry queue is about a mile long, so I decided to start Operation Crochet Warm Weather Stuff to knock out part of it. The first top I chose is the Glamour top from CrochetWithAlannaMiall .
Read More2025’s Holo Royalty collection has dropped and the theme is Disco Cowboy. I’m so pumped that we’re finally getting an orange frosted metal (I’m sure you’re all so surprised). The collection I ordered has arrived, so let’s take a look.

I also like the special box this collection arrived in (I think she termed it a super carton?) - it’s pretty without taking up oodles of space.
Read MoreI started on this neat Skull and Cones Sweater from alice.in.crochetland on Instagram last September thinking I’d have it ready by Halloween. Things did not go as planned and I’m just now finishing it up, but I’m pleased with my finished top!
