Granny Square Coaster Set: A Simple Crochet Gift Idea

I’ve had this little wooden box sitting around for ages. The plan was always to crochet a granny square for the top, glue it on and turn the box into a pretty little trinket box. I liked the idea, but like so many ideas, it sat there waiting for me to actually do something with it. Then one of my members gave me the nudge I didn’t know I needed....

The Hardest Person to Ask for Permission is Often Ourselves

If you've ever felt guilty for sitting down with your crochet, I want you to know something. That feeling didn't appear out of nowhere. Most of us have spent our lives being taught to put everyone else first. We were praised for being helpful, for caring for others and for making sure everyone else's needs were met before our own. Somewhere along the way, many of us quietly learnt that taking time for ourselves was something to be earned....

People often assume my goal is to teach someone to crochet exactly the way I do.

It isn’t.

My favourite moments are the ones where someone says,

“I changed the colours.”

“I added another round.”

“I made it into a cushion instead.”

“I wasn’t sure it would work… but I tried it.”

That’s the moment I know they’ve stopped asking,

“What’s the right way?”

and started asking,

“What if I tried this?”

To me, that’s what creativity looks like.

Not artistic talent.

Not complicated stitches.

Just having enough confidence to trust your own ideas.

That’s the kind of crocheter I hope every woman becomes.

If you want to learn crochet in a way that gives you the confidence to make it your own, follow along. You’ll fit right in here.

Lost Crojo Isn’t Always About Crochet

Every now and then I hear someone say they've "lost their crojo." They haven't picked up their hook for weeks, the project they were excited about is still sitting where they left it, and they wonder if they've simply fallen out of love with crochet. Whenever I hear someone say that, I find myself wondering whether they've really lost their crojo at all....

I wish more crocheters would stop relying on YouTube.

Not because I think YouTube is bad.

I still use it myself from time to time.

The problem isn’t YouTube.

The problem is when we start believing we can’t crochet without someone showing us every single stitch.

That’s not confidence.

That’s dependence.

What I really want for the women I teach is something different.

I want them to look at a pattern and think,

“I can work this out.”

Because once you understand how crochet fits together, everything changes.

Patterns stop looking like another language.

Mistakes become easier to fix.

You stop waiting for someone else to tell you what to do next.

That’s the kind of confidence I want every crocheter to experience.

If you’re ready to start relying less on videos and understanding written patterns for yourself, comment HELP and I’ll send you my free Ultimate Guide to Reading Crochet Patterns.
