Last weekend was the first, Stitch.Rock.Crochet-along in what I plan on being a series. The project, a quick one that’s perfect for the season: Springtime Scarf. I really enjoyed seeing everyone’s progression, as well as getting to feel like I still get to be a part of events, even with a career and 3 kids at home — I love the internet!
Thanks to all who participated, and especially those who asked questions, offered comments, and shared pictures. Without further ado, here’s a photo re-cap of the CAL!
Prepping
A few of the participants’ supplies ready to go!
Pre-CAL Chat

CAL Chat
“First row ♥”— Angela Rae (via FB)
“Just getting started, also HAD to use something from the stash, Bernat Softee baby & a G hook, my girlfriends: “The Crochet Babes” are coming over tomorrow & we’re going to CAL with Vickie’s CAL!”— Roberta Thome (via FB)
“Stopped off at JoAnn’s last night and my son picked out two colors for me to choose from (Grey-ish and Camel-ish). I can’t decide which I like better, so I guess I have to do two scarves! I’ll “chain on” tonight and try to keep up through the weekend.”— Mama Karen (via Rav)
“…digging this pattern, Thanks for this CAL Vickie!” — Mehere7 (via Rav)
“Thank you for a beautiful, easy, and fun pattern, Vickie!” — Art Like Bread (via Rav)
“Have made 4 scarves in the last two days. Made the last one while I was under the hair dryer.” —Rosetta Williams (via FB)
Didn’t make it for the the CAL, but still want to make the scarf? No problem! The threads (including Q&A and how-to photos) will remain up on both Facebook and Ravelry, and you can nab the pattern here.

#2008 Once upon a time, @lifetimetv hired me to design and host video tutorials for a few, holiday-specific craft projects that ran on their website. These photos are from the shoot — our then home — for the Halloween-project episode.
I credit digital media for much of my ongoing career, but my heart with always be handmade and in print. From my hands to yours, I’d love to snail mail you a copy of my new monthly publication, 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗲 — the printed companion piece to the supportive, engaged and inspiring community and (virtual) event space, Stitchwell Social Club. This zine is printed as a limited run based on monthly membership numbers. 𝗧𝗼 𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗽𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲, 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗯 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟴𝘁𝗵. (Subscribers later in the month will get them on a first come, first serve basis while supplies last.) As always, thanks for supporting this independent creative-type. It’s y’all and me against the lack-of-personal-connection world!

When — within the context of a tour through the cutest, witchy craft kit ever — your colleague and friend of 20+ years also clues you in on the depths of her miniatures obsession. 😆
Every month a guest expert comes into Stitchwell Social Club to share a bit of their knowledge, passion, and creativity. October’s workshop, a Witchy Book Nook tour and tutorial with Hello Bargello’s Brett Bara was a blast. Come join the fun at stitchwellsocialclub.com (link in bio).
