Charity Crochet: 2020 Review and 2021 Goals

 Hello again!


It has been a while hasn't it? As it did for many others, my life got a little hectic last year. The good news? I didn't stop making! Let's recap my goals for the year and see how I did.

2020 Review

At the begining of 2020, I made the following list of goals for my charity makes.

Goals:

  • Sections: 100
  • Hats: 30
  • Scarves:10
  • Blankets: 2
  • Other: 8+

 I am happy to say that I achieved most of these, and really exceeded that section count goal! My 2020 totals are:

Totals:

  • Sections: 146
  • Hats: 33
  • Scarves & Cowls: 7
  • Blankets:3
  • Other:11

Almost everything on that list was given to Warm Up America or in their name. I did donate a few things to silent auctions as fundraiser items as well. 

 

2021 Goals

Going into 2021, I have another list of donation goals. It is largely the same as last year, or at least close. As I grow as a maker, making things to donate to people will always be an huge part of what I do. However, I do want to spend some time designing and growing other parts of my maker life as well. This is why I am being a little conservative with my charity crochet goals.

Goals:

  • Sections: 121
  • Hats: 35
  • Scarves:8
  • Blankets: 2
  • Other: 10+

I know that these numbers will still make a huge difference for those in need, and I look forward to making every piece. 


Thank you for coming along with me on my journey!

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: Week #9

Using up what is left The original plan was to get 6 sections from each color I had picked out for my Sweet Tooth Hotel Sections, but because of small differences in the skeins, I had enough left of two colors to do another whole section. I had some left of the other two colors as well, and they will be coming back for a fun stripey pattern later this year! If you are reading this "live" remember that we have until March 18th to mail all sections for the Sweet Tooth campaign. We still have a LONG way to go to reach those lofty goals set at the beginning of the campaign so crochet away! 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! Using minimal amounts of yarn I pay a lot of attention to how much yarn each section takes to make. Partially because I enjoy details like that, and partia

WUA Section-A-Long Kickoff (Section #1)

Getting Ready Y'all, I am so excited to get this section-a-long started! Today we will be starting with a very simple section to help get your feet wet with section making. This is not my go-to pattern/stitch when I am making sections, but it is a great starting place. 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. Hopefully you have picked out some fun yarn to get started with, or maybe you are using this as a scrap/stash busting project. Each section pattern will come with an approximate amount of yarn needed for that pattern so you will have a good idea if you have enough if you are planning on going to scrap route. Foundation Single Crochet Section #1 will use the single crochet stitch. However, we will not start the section with a starting chain. We will start the section using a foundation single crochet stitch. Don't worry, I will be sharing several good resources for you to lear
