Just some crochet on Lake ONTARIO 🧶🇨🇦
Sometimes there’s wind and sometimes you get to pull out your yarn and enjoy the view out on Lake Ontario!

When your creations get lippy 🧸
I didn’t spend hours and hours creating for this amount of back talk 😂
Barnaby here is my latest giant creation and the pattern is available for free over on Yarnspirations website. And don’t worry, you can use any yarn to create Barnaby, it will just result in smaller or varying sized bears depending on what yarn you use!
To create the jumbo Barnaby I used Bernat Blanket BIG and it took me 27 skeins total with a 24mm hook!

Poor guy just wants to go for a swim 🧸
But considering he is 7 ft tall and weighs 45 lbs when he’s dry, I probably wouldn’t be able to get him out of the pool when he’s water logged 😂
You can find the pattern for Barnaby the Jumbo Teddy for free over on Yarnspirations and while he was designed as a jumbo Teddy, you can use any yarn for the pattern to make a smaller version!

How cool are these??! 🦋
I had the opportunity to test out Lepidoptera Species bundle last week and I had so much fun making them and finding the perfect frames to display them!
I really love the concept of turning a plush like this into framed art to brighten up a room! I can’t wait to display these in my booth at this year, the only question is, should I make a bunch?!
You can find the pattern bundle(s) over on Etsy today!

Have you seen the crochet puppets yet?!
I honestly didn’t realize I had enough designs to do a reel like this but I have thoroughly enjoyed continuing to expand on my Stitchkins collection!
Don’t know the Stitchkins? Well they are my collection of crochet patterns that can be made as regular plushies or as PUPPETS! They are all designed with market makers in mind so there are no tedious bits or time consuming parts. I want them to be as fun to make as to enjoy afterwards!
Looking to grab one? Well you’re in luck because right now they are all on sale for 25% off over in my Et$y shop from now until the end of the weekend

It’s that time again!
We are officially 99 days away from this years One Of A Kind which means it’s time to lock in and get to work!
Well actually that was 2 weeks ago but that’s besides the point! I will be sharing every step of the process including building a brand new booth for this years show!
Whether this is your first year following along with this process or you’ve been here for the chaos before, thanks for following along and for all of your support!

Free Barnaby the Jumbo Bear Pattern 🧸
What’s better than a 7ft tall plushie? What about a FREE pattern to make one yourself??!
I had so much fun creating this project and making him larger than life, and me 🤪 My inspiration was the giant carnival prizes that you can barely carry home and I think I succeeded!
Barnaby measures in over 7ft tall and weighs 45 lbs. I used Bernat Blanket BIG in Frosting and regular which resulted in a super soft cuddly pal and can be found at Michael’s in many different colours. It took a total of 29 skeins with a 24mm hook, quite a bit of stuffing and a body pillow as spine support!
Head over to Yarnspirations.com right now to grab your FREE copy of Barnaby the Jumbo Bear, link in my bio!
What do you think? Will you be creating a jumbo Barnaby?? 🧸

Doubles as a fashion accessory too 😉
I ran out of a specific red yarn the other day and didn’t have the skein wrapper so I brought a scrap piece to help find the perfect match.
I know people are going to say I should have a dye lot number but without the skein wrapper I had no clue what it was 😅
