Goal For Next Year... Pick One Hard Thing.

Will Travel For Wool Crochet Sweater and Clothing Label.

Hey Crochet Friend!

It’s that time of year again – the one where we pause, reflect, and ask ourselves, "What did I actually do with the past 12 months?" We also tend to map out shiny new goals for the year ahead, crossing fingers that this will be the one where we finally become that "better version" of ourselves.

But, this year, let’s mix things up. Instead of a laundry list of goals, why not make a list of all the things you actually did this year? A little self-hype session to celebrate how much you've grown, learned, or just survived. Trust me, it's more satisfying than you'd think... And don't forget to add 'learned to crochet' to that list ;)

And for next year? Skip the long list of vague resolutions. Just pick one hard thing. Something that feels tricky, maybe a bit scary. Take it on knowing it’ll challenge you, teach you, and probably force you to figure out a few things along the way. It won’t be easy, but here’s the kicker: it’ll open doors and level you up in ways you can’t even imagine. Go on, back yourself.

For inspo, try one of these:

+ Get crafting - Make one handmade garment, take a photo wearing it in public!

+ Share your journey - Start an Insta account that is solely based on a new hobby.

+ Get social - join a club and commit to going for the whole year, rain, snow or shine!

Cheers to you in 2025!

This Christmas, Crochet For You!

Hello Crochet Friend!

The holiday season is here, and with it comes the pressure of gift-giving! Handmade gifts are wonderful, but let’s take a moment to focus on you.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed by all the "quick Christmas crochet ideas" on your feed, making it seem like you need to create something for every person on your family tree?

Think about this: Crochet doesn't have to be about quick projects or giving everything away. It’s your hobby—something that brings you joy, mindfulness, and growth. Handmade gifts are special, but maybe you don’t need to make one for everyone. How about rotating who gets one each year?

Most importantly, it’s okay to crochet for yourself too. So let's make a deal, why not take 10 minutes a day to work on something just for you? Whether it’s finishing a WIP, starting a new project, or just enjoying the process without any pressure, this crochet time can just be for you to recharge.

Cheers,

Jennine
