WUA Section-A-Long: Week #7

Making Progress Last week, I shipped in my box of Sweet Tooth Sections! There ended up being 26 total that I have made for the section-a-long. There are still at least 2 weeks of patterns coming (after this one) made with this campaign in mind. I am hoping I can get another week or two done before I have to get the rest shipped in as well, so wish me luck. We didn't get an updated count last week, but the last numbers we did get were still pretty low considering how many sections they are hoping for with this campaign! I have hope though because I know so many of you are out there working hard on your sections!! Make sure you have checked out the original section-a-long post , if you haven't already for the list of supplies you will need, and if you missed any of them, the other patterns are all linked at the bottom of that post! Back to some post stitches I love crocheting with post stitches. I love all the different textures that can be made with various combina...

WUA Section-A-Long: Week #6

Happy to be back I took the week off from blog posting last week to celebrate my birthday and play with all the puppies. For context, my boyfriend's parents had a litter of Wheaten Terriers just before New Year's Eve and we went to visit last weekend. Can I just say that playing with six 6-week old puppies is a pretty great way to celebrate turning 27! Make sure you have checked out the original section-a-long post , if you haven't already for the list of supplies you will need, and if you missed it, check out the first , second , third , fourth , and fifth patterns already on the blog. The original post also has links to all the sections! I learned a new stitch for this one... Several weeks ago, I put a poll up on the WUA Makers group and asked which of my patterns they wanted to see first. Much to my surprise, someone added an option that I was not prepared for. And this option got the second most votes! Because of this, I went out and learned the trinity sti...

Spread Kindness Soap Sack Pattern

Making to give By this point, many of you know that I have a huge passion for making things to give to other people, whether those people are friends and family or to those in need. We are in Week #5 of the Section-A-Long I am hosting for Warm Up America (WUA). I decided to take a short break from section making when inspiration struck for a pattern idea for soap sacks. What are soap sacks you ask? They are basically wash cloths made in such a way that they become carriers for soap! They provide an all in one way to get clean and can be really fun. While they can be made and used by anyone, they have become a handmade item collected for those in need as well. The lovely people over at S.A.C.K (Supporting a Community with Kindness) have led an effort to get these soap sacks distributed all over the country. S.A.C.K recently partnered with WUA to collect even more and I must say the response from the WUA Makers group has been inspiring. So whether you are making to donate or to g...

WUA Section-A-Long: Section #5

How is it already week 5? I cannot believe we are already on week five of this section-a-long! Thank you so much for joining me on this journey. I have loved sharing all of these section patterns with you, so much so that I keep postponing that break I keep expecting to take. It has been too much fun to stop, so there is no break in sight! Make sure you have checked out the original section-a-long post , if you haven't already for the list of supplies you will need, and if you missed it, check out the first , second , third , and fourth patterns already on the blog. The original post also has links to all the sections! Granny Stripes I am sure you have all seen granny squares, and many of you that are seasoned section makers have probably even seen granny rectangles. I have made my fair share of granny squares of multiple types, and I am working on a huge blanket for a friend that is actually made from granny hexagons. My problem is making these patterns really work ou...
