Can’t wait for the physical version? Grab your ebook copy today!
I’ve been working on my Stitchkins collection of patterns for almost 2 years now. Consistently expanding the collection of market-friendly patterns that can be made as plushies or puppets, and I’m thrilled to expand the collection even further with the Stitchkin Squad! My first published book!
The Stitchkins Squad contains 18 unique patterns to create no sew and low sew makes that can be made as either puppets or plushies.
Of those 18 patterns, 14 are brand new book exclusive designs and the other 4 are fan favourite previously released patterns ( Drift the Octopus, Scoot the Seahorse, Ossie the Opossum & Remi the Rat )
You can preorder a physical copy of the book anywhere books or sold with a release date early next year (it keeps changing due to logistics)
OR you can grab an ebook version TODAY! You can purchase the digital version of the book anywhere ebooks are sold, if you purchase from RockyNook.com (the publisher) and use code CROCHETCARPENTER you will receive a 25% discount off your entire cart!
Can’t wait for you all to get your hands on it!

550 items added to the tally in the last month!
And only 300 left to go!
The closer we get to the show the more my production ramps up because at this point, I’m excited to be finished so I can focus on other things that need to be prepared for the show!!
For those that haven’t heard of OOAK, the One of a Kind show is a 10-day holiday show held annually in Toronto and features exclusively Canadian made artisans showcasing their handmade items! It’s my favourite event of the year and the best place to get a head start on your holiday shopping!
Only 45 more days until the show!
One Of A Kind
📍Enercare Centre, Toronto
🗓️ November 27 - December 6

Tags can elevate a product so much!
A few years ago I had a local business make me these leather tags with the intention of putting them on every item I made. But I quickly realized how time consuming that would be, especially considering that my goal for the holidays this year is 1600 items created single handedly 😅😝
So instead, I attach them to the bigger one of a kind makes such as this Mini Hugo the Humpback here!
What are your thoughts on tags? If you’re a maker, do you add them to your products?

Think I can do it??!
This year will be my 5th show with One Of A Kind and every year I push myself to create as much as I can. Last year’s goal of 1500 items wasn’t enough so this year we’re pushing for 1600!
Many of you have followed along on this journey year after year and I appreciate your continued support so much, it’s a ton of work but it’s worth it!
For those that haven’t heard about OOAK before, it’s a 10-day holiday market that takes place at the Enercare centre in downtown Toronto from November 27th to December 6th. It’s an exclusively handmade event that brings together hundreds and hundreds of artists from across Canada which makes it a great place to get a head start on your holiday shopping! Last year there were over 600 vendors!
You can follow along with my preparation by checking out my daily stories and reel updates! There’s so much left to do including finishing up with my stock goals but also building my booth, which I plan on doing today!

The swinging one is my favourite!
I love when a pattern offers options and versatility! And with .little.buddies newest Mini Momo pattern there’s plenty of options for customizing your mini ghost pal!
You can make a mushroom ghostie, or one with a hoodie, or one in a wee swing which displays perfectly!
I was slightly obsessed so I made all 3 versions and then decided to have some fun with my 3D printer to make a tree to hang the swing from!

I use them for EVERYTHING
They’re great for keeping organized when you’re working on the couch, transporting yarn wherever you go, and for sorting out the chaos of market prep! Heck I even use them to hold my overstock behind my booth at OOAK!
What’s your favourite random market prep tool?

Tide the Turtle is now available!
After a tiny break from designing I’m back and the next Stitchkin pattern is now available!
And just like the rest of the Stitchkins this guy can be made as a puppet or as a regular plushie and is super addicting, so far, I’ve made 45 for my holiday events!!
Huge thanks to my amazing testers who helped me get this pattern ready for release!
Tide the Turtle pattern by me - found on Etsy!

Look what the Tide brought in!
The next Stitchkin is about to launch and I’ve been playing with different yarn types and this mornings make was with this super soft fuzzy Dolce yarn and some embroidered eyes!
These turtles work up great in all yarn types and are super quick which makes them a great stash buster and market item!
The pattern launches tomorrow night 😅 Technically Sunday but I always like to launch the night before for those who are excited to get started 😉
