How to: Connect Crochet Foundation Stitches for “in the Round” Projects

Crochet Foundation Stitches (such as the Foundation Single Crochet or Foundation Double Crochet) are methods for beginning a project that allows you to work your foundation row (or chain row) at the same time as your first row of crochet stitches. It’s great for long foundation projects or when you need something with a little extra give. But what happens when you need to put those stitches into the round, like the bottom of the Wine Glass Lanyard Crochet Pattern, or the Birch Leaf Ear Warmer? Well, today, I’m sharing with you how to put those stitches together into the round so you can make even more fun projects!

Bullet Journal 2021: Part 1

If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you saw that I asked if anyone had done a Bullet Journal before and to share their thoughts. I received some great insights and the responses were very helpful (even if the answers I got were all over the place). Although it got a lot of mixed feelings, the main consensus was that everyone felt it provided them a lot more freedom, compared to a common planner. Freedom to be creative and make it their own. Almost everyone also thought that it made for less waste (in the sense of paper use, since we all know that you don’t use EVERY page of your planner). On the other side, many also felt that it was something that started strong and pittered off because of the amount of work that is involved (you are literally hand drawing/writing your own planner). And a few more felt like it didn’t work for them because their thoughts are a bit chaotic or sporadic at times and this was a little too controlled for them.
