yarn i like

I’m excited to announce that I have a new affiliate partnership with Knit Picks and its new crochet-centric site, We Crochet. When you click on the links or banners on my blog to purchase yarn at Knit Picks and/or We Crochet, I will receive a commission. Thanks for thinking of me when you make your next yarn haul from Knit Picks/We Crochet! (UPDATE: If you place an order from Knitpicks by clicking through one of my links, send me a PM with the date and amount of the order and I will send you a pattern of your choice from my Ravelry Store.)

I’ve used several Knit Picks yarns in the past, and found their quality, selection, value, and delivery service to be top-notch. I’m planning some awesome projects and Crochet A Longs in 2020 featuring Knit Picks yarn, and cannot wait to further delve into their offerings.

Who is ready to Crochet Along with JulieAnny as we work through the eight weeks of Clues in MysteryGhan 2020 beginning January 3, 2020? The Mini-Clue and Intro is now available for download on Ravelry.

Create your own beautiful and unique afghan as you share and chat on my Ravelry Board and my Facebook Crochet-Along Group. The pattern is presented as a Mystery, so please do not post spoiler photos in the first photo of your project or on the boards except in designated spots.

Pattern in an aran-weight yarn requires about 3200 yards for a finished size of 66”. In dk weight, less yarn is needed but the sizing will be smaller. You can make as a lapghan or add to border – will suggest at the end.

Pattern consists of many motifs with a simple join and a surprise ending. Designed for the intermediate crochet or advanced beginner – some post stitches, popcorns, and interesting techniques, but mostly easy, like all my patterns.

Please make a Ravelry project page and spread the word on social media! Use hashtags #crochetalongwithjulieanny #mysteryghan2020 #mghan2020

#BAWJ2019 Week 48

BAWJ2019

Poppin’ Spades by Heather C. Gibbs

Welcome to Week 48, our final block of our 2019 Block of the Week Crochet Along.  Don’t forget to join in chatting and sharing photos on my Ravelry board and my Facebook Crochet-A-Long group.  Thank you to all who have crocheted along and posted progress photos of your work. Please use hashtags #BAWJ2019 and #crochetalongwithJulieanny.

This week I was happy to receive a new design from Heather C. Gibbs of Keep Calm and Crochet On UK blog.   We featured one of Heather’s designs earlier in the year – Encompass Me Afghan Block  – when she was under the weather, and I am so glad she is feeling better and gave us this new design.  Poppin’ Spades is fun and easy but makes a striking statement and I think it is just right to finish off our year!  (Free on her blog and available on Ravelry for a nominal fee.)

Please share on the boards how you are finishing your afghans.  I’ve finished three and have one more to go. Don’t forget to tag your Ravelry projects for a chance to win a tote bag.  There will be two more drawings, look for details on my Rav board.

If you purchase yarn through any of my links, I will receive a commission. If you need help with color coordination, check out pre-made palettes at Wool Warehouse and Deramores. Look for good prices at Deramores, Wool Warehouse, Lion Brand Yarn, or Yarnspirations. (links updated 11/2019)
