Is 65 too warm for a scarf and a hat? Maybe. But it was cloudy and windy! So I stubbornly persisted until I started sweating. 😆 Both of these designs are exclusively available as pattern previews over on Patreon and yes, they are a couple of my favorites! Yarn is from @urbangirlyarns for the scarf and the hat uses an alpaca yarn from @knit_picks. What is your go to handmade accessory this fall? https://www.instagram.com/p/CkrOY0rJdmn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And that was the last end woven in. I don't even know what else to say. #ripruthbaderginsburg #urbangirlyarns https://www.instagram.com/p/CFVC7lhpbFM/?igshid=a4yu4pxhvukq

This wonderful scarf is complete and yet I feel very sad when I look at it. @urbangirlyarns really knocked it out of the park with #ruthbaderginsberg. #urbangirlyarns #ripruthbaderginsburg https://www.instagram.com/p/CF2uVkGJazY/?igshid=m4z6hvfww97i

Today I'm sitting outside sweating my tookus off in the shade taking my blessings where I can find them. The kid is covered in mud (nice and cooling, I suppose) and playing contentedly under his fort, also in the shade. Actually, looking up now there are two grackles mouth breathing at him from the fence... Anyway. I've gotten in about an hour of actual crocheting so hooray! Also worth noting, this yarn from @urbangirlyarns makes me so happy with every stitch! It's just delicious to crochet with. 💛 #urbangirlyarns #falliscomingeventuallyright #thegracklesarehottoo https://www.instagram.com/p/CEmnoHLHD-C/?igshid=8yjaw3cchqk8

Sometimes I love the backside of a design just as much as the front - this might be one of them! 🧡 Do you have a stitch that you like the "wrong" side of just as well as the "right" side or better? Yarn is Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Midas Touch by @urbangirlyarns. #designprocess #urbangirlyarns https://www.instagram.com/p/CESKTgjpn8s/?igshid=3hf1hbzt70na

I first envisioned this project on the road to visit @centeroftheyarniverse and @danceswithwoolrva, the first two of my four stops on the inaugural @jamesriveryarncrawl. My other two stops on the crawl were @theflyingneedlesyarn and my own LYS at the time, @yarnmatters. Sometimes a design concept comes from the yarn but sometimes it comes all on its own, suddenly, like lightening striking in a moment of inspiration, and then I have to find the yarn to bring it to life! So at each shop I visited, I looked for locally dyed yarn in colors that reminded me of my own time on the rivers there in Virginia. The river in my pictures is (shhh) actually in Texas, where we moved just a week after the yarn crawl last year! I'm so pleased to finally be able to share the pattern with you. Thank you SO much to my tech editor @jamesbartley.co.uk as well all of my fabulous testers, including Donna, @keinaphels, @shabelcreations, and @sandhyakarandikar. You all ROCK!! The pattern is available on Ravelry as well as in my new Etsy shop and you can save 10% for the pattern launch with coupon code windingriver, now through August 16th at 11:59 CT. Enjoy!⁠ ⁠ Featured dyers: @littlefoxyarn, @kimdyesyarn, @robinspromise, @the.fiberists, @baad_mom_yarns, @urbangirlyarns, @temptingeweyarn, and @wise_owl_crafts ⁠ ⁠ #jamesriverwrap #jamesriveryarncrawl #littlefoxyarn #kimdyesyarn #robinspromiseyarn #thefiberists #baadmomyarns #urbangirlyarns #temptingeweyarns #wiseowlfiber #centeroftheyarniverse #danceswithwoolrva #theflyingneedles #yarnmatters #crochetpattern #createandgrowchallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/CDeo0SLJNyy/?igshid=kkuf81u7zwqw

I've had these two scrumptious skeins from @urbangirlyarns for about a year now (met her at a trunk show at @yarnmatters!) and it suddenly occurred to me exactly what I want to make with them! Or rather, HOW to make the piece I wanted them to become. 💛 Colorways are Midas Touch and Ruth Bader Ginsberg. #urbangirlyarns https://www.instagram.com/p/CBUMmknpoCa/?igshid=pezbp228a7y7

The #jamesriverwrap is ready for pattern testers! You can find the test thread on Ravelry at https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/crochet-cetera-by-connie-lee/4035878 as well as on @yarnpond! Original design uses yarn from eight indie dyers purchased from four of the six participating shops during the inaugural @jamesriveryarncrawl, including @littlefoxyarn, @kimdyesyarn, @robinspromise, @the.fiberists, @baad_mom_yarns, @urbangirlyarns, @temptingeweyarn, and @wise_owl_crafts. Thank you @centeroftheyarniverse, @danceswithwoolrva, @theflyingneedlesyarn, and @yarnmatters - I hope to shop with you again sometime! #jamesriveryarncrawl #littlefoxyarn #kimdyesyarn #robinspromiseyarn #thefiberists #baadmomyarns #urbangirlyarns #temptingeweyarns #wiseowlfiber #centeroftheyarniverse #danceswithwoolrva #theflyingneedles #yarnmatters #crochetpattern #patterncomingsoon https://www.instagram.com/p/CAVuMa_pBKR/?igshid=1mjp20nldliad

I am slowly but surely will soon make my way through finishing up this pattern. I've got a video tutorial, a photo tutorial for joining on the second side with a standing sc dec, "exact" estimates of yardage used for each color plus an average to help with yarn substitutions, an inspiration background blurb, a symbol chart, links to each of the indie dyers (yay!) plus the @jamesriveryarncrawl, gauge, pictures, special stitches definitions, and modification ideas. Sometimes I think I try to cram too much information into my patterns but then as soon as I decide to skip something, someone asks a question that could have been answered with said skipped feature! What's your favorite pattern feature that you would love to see in every design? Yarn from @littlefoxyarn, @kimdyesyarn, @robinspromise, @the.fiberists, @baad_mom_yarns, @urbangirlyarns, @temptingeweyarn, and @wise_owl_crafts. #jamesriverwrap #jamesriveryarncrawl #littlefoxyarn #kimdyesyarn #robinspromiseyarn #thefiberists #baadmomyarns #urbangirlyarns #temptingeweyarns #wiseowlfiber #centeroftheyarniverse #danceswithwoolrva #theflyingneedles #yarnmatters #crochetpattern #patterncomingsoon https://www.instagram.com/p/B--Nhp6JpcQ/?igshid=14hdaxjuczw82

I'm a little disappointed that I wasn't able to take piece this to the river that inspired it for its photo shoot, but perhaps some day it will get to visit Virginia! I can't hardly believe it's already been nearly a year since we moved. 😭 Thank you so much to all the wonderful indie dyers who make realizing design visions like this possible as well as to all the yarn shops who participated in the @jamesriveryarncrawl for being so welcoming and featuring so many amazing local (ish) dyers! I used yarn from @littlefoxyarn, @kimdyesyarn, @robinspromise, @the.fiberists, @baad_mom_yarns, @urbangirlyarns, @temptingeweyarn, and @wise_owl_crafts purchased from four of the six shops (I wasn't able to get out to the last two), including @centeroftheyarniverse, @danceswithwoolrva, @theflyingneedlesyarn, and @yarnmatters. ❤️ #jamesriverwrap #jamesriveryarncrawl #littlefoxyarn #kimdyesyarn #robinspromiseyarn #thefiberists #baadmomyarns #urbangirlyarns #temptingeweyarns #wiseowlfiber #centeroftheyarniverse #danceswithwoolrva #theflyingneedles #yarnmatters #crochetpattern #patterncomingsoon https://www.instagram.com/p/B-z7fjopfEu/?igshid=1fknl55z4l669

I started a simple linen stitch scarf with the leftovers from my #jamesriverwrap and I'm moving through them in the same order, alternating between three colors at the end of each row. It'll be interesting to see how the two pieces compare when I'm done! I'll share a peek at the wrap soon! All yarn was purchased during the inaugural @jamesriveryarncrawl last year.
