Sharing these here since I know my sisters won't see them, but look at these adorable mini book ornaments I made the last few days! I modeled them off of some of my sister's favorite books from childhood - Shannon Hale's The Goose Girl, and Detectives in Togas by Henry Winterfeld. I'm excited to see their reactions when I gift them tomorrow 😄

I followed a tutorial by ‪@ThatsMyBookshelf‬ (https://youtu.be/Ij1l3-MAu3o?si=skggC...) and it was so much fun! I can't say my actual assembly turned out as good as I'd hoped, but it still feels good knowing I tackled a creative endeavor that's new to me.

If you've been around my channel for a while, you know I LOVE my Valari support pillow. I use it every day when I crochet, and it's allowed me to crochet longer without pain. Avoiding crafting discomfort is kind of a big deal to me since my channel focuses on crochet (goodbye repetitive motion strain and golfer's elbow!) 😉

The Crafteaze by Valari Black Friday sale starts soon, so if you've thought about getting a ‪@valaricomfortpillow‬ this will be the best time to invest in your crochet comfort. The Maker's Cover + Pillow will be 30% off (TWICE the normal discount I'm able to offer my followers) and every Maker's Pillow purchase will contain some bonus freebies! Don't forget to check out some of their other crochet & crafting products, including their new hand cream designed specifically for crafters.

We're a week away from Black Friday, and some sales have already started! If you are shopping for the crocheter in your life (even if that's yourself 😉), these 10 items make great gifts. I personally use most of these things, and they've made my crocheting more enjoyable.

What's the best crochet related gift you've ever received? I'd love to hear 😄

This was such a fun video! ‪@TheCrochetCentral‬ measured her hooks to check their accuracy, and I found the results fascinating. If you enjoyed my video where I measured and analyzed all my hooks, this is a great video to see how more hook brands compare.

Let's try this again, apparently I don't understand how YouTube crops images her in community posts 😆

Here are some screenshots of the data I collected on my crochet hooks! I can only upload 5 images at once, so check out my next post for the rest of the data. The next set of screenshots will include the speculative data as well as the formulas I used. If there's anything else from my spreadsheet you want a better look at, let me know and I'll see if I can get a better screenshot of it. 🤓

Hey Crafters! I've been mulling over the idea of starting channel memberships, and I want to hear from you. It's still in the "abstract concept in my head" phase. I would love your input before I dive into what it might look like in the concrete so that my brainstorming is in line with what this community is interested in.

Please vote below: what do you think about me offering channel memberships?

Then, share your thoughts in the comments! I'd love to know what content and benefits would make a membership worth it, as well as what you'd be willing to pay for those perks. Thank you all so much! 💚
