🥵 This week here in the swamp we're doing our best to stay out of this muggy Louisiana heat!

The Yayas have been busy working on our little friends and Christmas stockings, because let's be honest... crafters don't wait for cooler weather to start Christmas projects. 🎄🧶

Now we know it's hot outside, but we also know that Pandamonium, our cotton and bamboo blend, is the perfect yarn for summertime knitting. A dishcloth, washcloth, baby blanket, or any small project is a great way to keep those needles moving through July without melting into a puddle.

And for all you proactive crafters who want a head start on Christmas gifts, we've got something fun coming up!

🎁 Crochet Along (CAL)
📅 Starting Thursday, July 16th
🕕 6:00 PM

We'll be making the Crimson Lace Scarf, a free pattern from Cascade Yarns, using the wonderfully soft Eco Duo alpaca and merino blend.

A quick reminder: This is not a class or workshop. A CAL is simply a group of like-minded crocheters getting together to work on the same project, share laughs, compare progress, and enjoy some crafting company. You should already know the basic crochet stitches before joining.

So come escape the heat, grab a hook, and join the fun. We promise the company is cooler than the weather! 🐊💚

Ashley joined us for Breakfast Club this morning and showed off her gorgeous new tank top made with Cascade Botanika, along with the progress on her Christmas stocking. We are beyond tickled with her work and love watching our makers grow their skills and confidence! 💚🧶

Meanwhile, Ms. Denise attempted to knit while watching the Germany soccer match. We emphasize the word attempted... 😂⚽ Apparently cheering and counting stitches at the same time is harder than it looks!

And our sweet Susi has become so comfortable at the shop that she officially claimed the couch as her personal soccer-viewing headquarters. We can't even argue with her logic. 😆

Moments like these remind us how lucky we are. Our customers aren't just customers—they're family, friends, cheerleaders, enablers of new yarn purchases, and occasional couch thieves.

We are definitely not your average yarn shop, and we wouldn't have it any other way. 🐊💜🧶⚽

🧶✨ CROCHETERS... WE HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN ABOUT Y'ALL! ✨🧶

We've been hearing the whispers from the crochet corner of the swamp... 👀

"What about us?"

Wellllllll... your Yayas have been plotting. 🐊💚

Here's a little sneak peek of something coming in August. We're not giving away all the details just yet, but we can tell you this:

🧶 It involves a gorgeous scarf. 🧶 It involves crochet. 🧶 It involves snuggling. 🧶 And our suggested yarn is Eco Duo by Cascade Yarns — a dreamy blend of undyed Baby Alpaca and Merino wool.

Y'all... this yarn is so soft it should probably come with a warning label. Once you wrap yourself up in it, you may never want to take it off. We are not responsible for excessive cuddling, porch sitting, or refusing to leave the air conditioning. 😆

So hang tight, crochet friends. More details are hopping through the swamp soon.

🐸💚 Your Yayas are cooking up something cozy.
