Hanging Ornaments: pattern release

Last year I was delighted to work with Your Crochet and Knitting magazine on a number of patterns including these hanging ornaments. The rights for first of these patterns have now returned to me and so I’m able to release the patterns on Ravelry to share with you all. You can find the crochet patterns here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hanging-star-ornaments

I know that these ornaments are Christmasy and it’s spring. But can it ever be too early to start making Christmas decorations? What do you think? Will you save them for Christmas or put them up today?

Pi Day: Vircle Shawl – testers wanted

Hello and happy Pi Day! Today is the 3/14 (in the US) which makes it Pi Day and the perfect day to show my circular crochet shawl Vircle Shawl. I’m looking for testers for this shawl over on The Testing Pool on Ravelry.

Vircle Shawl is a beginner friendly shawl that uses 700m of cotton worsted weight yarn. Check out the testing thread for all the details. As it’s a beginner friendly pattern I’m especially happy to work with new testers, so if you haven’t had the courage to dive into the testing pool before now come on in!
