It's beginning to look a lot like....
Hello,
Fun fact about me, I absolutely refuse to accept Christmas is happening until December 1st. But then I am fairly happy to start working towards it. In this house we like to watch a Christmas movie or TV show Christmas special each night through December and my favourite tipple is a glass of mulled wine.
Because of this, every year I have a bit of a debate (with myself!) about when I can start mentioning making Christmas* gifts. Obviously if you want to make for quite a few people then really you should have started AGES ago. But I really hate being marketed to about Christmas* until we get into December so why would I inflict that on you? It's a dilemma. But I figure if you are the sort of person who is organised enough to make for lots of people you are probably organised enough to buy your patterns up in my August sale!
So today, in early December, I can tell you that I have picked out a selection of patterns that are perfect little gifts and some of them could even be made in a single evening - yes it is true! - I have made a Kelpie Hat or a pair of child size Saunders Socks (both pictured) in an evening including weaving in ends.
So maybe your dreams of hand-made presents all round could come true?
To help you towards your gifting goals (or just to let you have some money off to make something nice and quick for yourself, I'm not checking up!) I have rounded up all the quickest patterns into one collection. AND, even better, you can use the code GIFTABLE** at checkout on the to get 30% off anything in that collection!

Hi, I'm sure that in the Christmas excitement you haven't exactly been waiting with baited breath for me to continue the countdown of my personal favourites from my career but let's pretend you have and all get excited for MY TOP FIVE! WOO HOO 5/ Log Off Shawl Mystery crochet a-longs were often when i got most creative and this one kept you all guessing in the best way. Its a pattern I will almost certainly make again as I tackle the residual stash that I've always kept for swatching ideas...
Hi, Again I want to start by thanking everyone who has sent and email or commented on a post lately - I have read them all but I am utterly behind on replying, I hope to catch up soon. But please know they are all very much appreciated. It's been a not unexpectedly emotional experience winding the business down. I've been reflecting a lot on what we achieved and I thought it would be nice this week to share with you some of my personal favourite designs. I've no idea how many items I have...
You guys! 🥲 Thank you so so much to each and every one of you who has taken the time out to write to me to wish me luck or tell me what The Crochet Project has meant to you. I've been sharing all of the messages with Kat so she gets to see too what a wonderful impact we made. Reading all of the messages has been a wonderful way to reflect on the past ten years of The Crochet Project and I wanted to share three of the things that came up the most in messages and those just happen to coincide...
