Hello Reader 💕🌸

We're hunkered down for the big winter storm this weekend, but thankfully Kansas is only getting snow showers—no dreaded ice like so many areas are facing. It'll be brutally cold here but fingers crossed for no power outages. The perfect excuse to snuggle in and crochet!

These last few days, I've been so grateful for my Mountain Trail Hooded Cowl—it's a lifesaver when taking Loki out in the cold air. It slips on quickly, keeps my neck and head toasty, and pulling it up over my mouth and nose blocks that stinging wind perfectly.

The Gradient Glow Pot Holder has been such a hit—thank you for all the love and shares! I'm thrilled it's brightening kitchens everywhere.

If you're in full cozy mode too, bulky yarn projects are calling my name—quick makes that feel extra rewarding on cold days. Speaking of which... I hope to release another new pattern very soon: another bulky yarn project that works up fast. Stay tuned!

Stay safe, stay warm, and keep those hooks busy, my friends. Happy crocheting!

The Mountain Trail Hooded Cowl by Carol on Etsy! She says, "A little tricky at first but the video was the key to success. (I prioritize purchasing patterns with videos to support the artist and all the extra they do making the videos. ). I enjoyed making this hoodie so much I had to buy the blanket that had the same unique stitch. Seller is very quick to respond to a question I had. Great seller and fun and useful pattern."

So beautiful and I am so glad you enjoyed making it and I hope you love the blanket!
