TayXGeese Eras Tour Fits - Part One
Taylor Swift's Eras tour was the highest grossing tour of all time, inspiring countless creative endeavors. Today, we're adding another (4) project(s) to the pile. Birthed by hope, a message came across the abyss and I answered the call. The request that began an ambitious crochet adventure.

Christmas Pickle
The snowy Yuletide season is upon us once again, and today's post features a uniquely American take on a supposedly European tradition... I speak, of course, of the bumpy green Weinachtsgurke, or Christmas Pickle! The tradition is such that the green ornament is hung surreptitiously in the leafy boughs of your Christmas tree, and the first reveler to reveal it wins a special prize or good luck for the coming year. However, dear reader, it appears this is an American invention

Tooth Fairy Friend
Recently, a beloved young relative lost their very FIRST tooth! We had to celebrate, and so I stitched together a little tooth pillow for the tooth fairy's visit. I sketched an incredibly detailed technical specification illustration, shown below. Aforementioned tech spec. From this inspiration, I began with a magic circle and used single crochets and half-double crochets to create the tooth shape. When I was halfway through the crown of the tooth, I stopped to add eyes and

"Hey mom, can you fix this?" - Knight Armor Edition
Crochet can be as useful as it is fun! This series of posts will focus on requests to fix, modify, or otherwise refactor broken or lacking household items. Previously, in an undocumented crochet adventure, I made a loop to affix to the top of a hanging tent for my child's bedroom reading nook after the existing loop had broken, leaving the tent regrettably unused, in a very sad pile on the floor. The tent came with a hanging loop that was a rather weak 3mm wide ribbon, so our

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Blanket - Part One
The humble cockroach is a universal symbol for resilience and as such, became an honored "familiar" of sorts between a book club of friends. One friend in particular decided to join me in taking up the the way of the hook, and a collaborative crochet idea was born between us. The concept of a progressive dinner came up, and we decided to make a progressive blanket! Aw, she cute! "How?" you may ask. We are taking turns contributing to a granny square blanket, with a large free
