Growing up, my mom always had “trivets” we used under warm dishes. Most of ours were ones she had sewn because she owned a fabric store and is a wonderful seamstress. I often wish I had cute trivets to use instead of stained hot pads. Last year I designed a “Spring Sampler” blanket made from […]

Weekly Wash #18: Buggy Scrubbers
These are designed to slip over jumbo net scrubbers. I understand these jumbo scrubbers might not be available everywhere so I will be releasing a smaller version to slip over the smaller net scrubbers too. I also have included instructions for a “no net” version where you will sew two crocheted layers together instead of […]
Weekly Wash #17: Spiral Scrubbers
Today I finally talked my husband into taking me to a local attraction, “the Spiral Jetty”. It is about an hour from my house and something people come from all over to see. I have lived here my entire life and up until about 15 years ago I had no idea it even existed. This […]
Weekly Wash #16: Drop Down Towel
This cloth has become my new favorite one. It whips up quickly because it has an easy repeat to remember plus it has a thick texture. It is designed to match my “Bee Happy Hanging Towel“. It starts the same as that towel does so it makes a nice set. This is similar to my […]
Weekly Wash #15: Daisy Hanging Towel
Each year I do a few dishcloth swaps with amazing people I have met online. It is one of the funnest parts of my year to receive all of the cloths from across the United States and seeing what they created. As part of these swaps I design a special cloth for the event. This […]
Weekly Wash #14: Drop Down Cloths
Durable cloths that can actually be used as wash cloths and dish cloths, over and over, are my favorites. These are made with a spike stitch which makes the fabric more dense, plus they are easy to make. These match my “Bee Happy Hanging Towel“, plus a larger version will be available soon too. Drop […]
Weekly Wash #13: Bee Happy Hanging Towel
Every summer I find myself designing something with bumblebees and ladybugs. I thought they would make kitchen sets. This bumblebee hanging towel button around a towel bar, oven handle, fridge handle and can even hang on a hook. Watch for matching cloths and scrubbies coming soon. Bee Happy Hanging Towel Pattern The crochet pattern for […]
Weekly Wash #12: Blooming With Hope Cloths
Recently I designed a 12″ afghan block for the Moogly Cal 2020. As I worked the block, I kept thinking the center of the block would make a great flower on its own. I think I see the possibility for a cloth of some sort in everything! I gave it a try and I think […]
Weekly Wash #11: JP Large Flower Cloths
I have always wanted to design a large flower washcloth so after making the “Jonathan Flowers” cloth I thought I would try a large version. I really like how it turned out. I made the purple on first and then a friend suggested scrubby yarn for the center. Since I have to hold another strand […]
Weekly Wash #10: Jonathan’s Flowers
Over the past 10 years I have met the most amazing people and I love seeing the things they create from my patterns, especially when they make them for their kids. Tammi and Jonathan Pereira are a mom and son I have met through my shop and I consider them personal friends. I first met […]
