Pride Month Charity Auction 2023: Rainbow Bobble Shawl
This year for Pride Month, I wanted to do more to support the queer community, so I’m holding a charity auction for this lovely rainbow shawl! 100% of the profits of the auction will be donated to Equality Texas to fight for LGBTQ+ rights in Texas. I’ve done an auction once before, and I thought it would be a great way to fundraise for causes I care about. The auction begins June 3rd at 10am CDT, goes for a week, and ends on June 10th. If you want to support the cause but you can’t bid, there are SO many other options to help! Donate directly to Equality Texas, or…

Outlander-Inspired Wrap Shawl- Free Crochet Pattern
I am so happy with how this shawl came out, so I just had to write up a pattern so you could do it too! It’s super beginner-friendly, and a great project to just stitch away at on the couch. I haven’t watched Outlander myself, but the knitting and crochet shown have permeated my pattern recommendations. If you’ve seen any of my creations, you’ll know it’s just my style: rustic and natural. This style of wrap/tie-back shawl is so simple but so interesting to me, with perfect functionality. It’s great for everyday activities, keeping your hands free while still providing a lot of warmth to your upper body. Crochet this…

Make the perfect gloves for all your adventures! A pair of fingerless gloves are great for everyday winter wear, or to add depth to a costume.

Tulips For Ukraine: Tote Bag and Charity Auction
In case you haven’t seen it yet, Sheepberry is hosting a charity auction to raise funds for the Ukraine Red Cross to provide humanitarian aid to refugees and citizens of Ukraine. 10% of my Etsy profits from March will be donated as well. I thought I would share more about my thought process and my inspiration. Check out the original posts about the auction with the links below. Since the start of the war in Ukraine, I put a lot of thought into how Sheepberry could help. I had just learned to make the Tulip Granny Square by Wilmade to make a summery poncho, and just a couple of days…

The Mountain Rose Beanie- Free Crochet Pattern
The Mountain Rose Beanie is a quick and easy beanie made with the Primrose Stitch and roving yarn that makes the shells pop. It has a simple and rustic look that would look great for camping, hiking, or any fun outdoor activity. I thought of making this pattern when I saw another crocheter making a chunky roving hat. I loved the look of it, but I wasn’t in the mood to learn a new stitch, so I used the Primrose. The Primrose stitch is easy to learn, fast, has a ton of applications, and works up beautifully. I also love how the stitch makes a neat little picot-like brim. Roving…
