Crochet Podcast 191

Crochet Podcast episode 191 is packed with finished objects, work-in-progress updates, hook talk, and a very cute family reveal from the Secret Yarnery. This week, Christa shares a stack of fun crochet projects, starting with the new wind spinner pattern and its three border options. There's a flat finish, a picot border, and a quicker single-crochet-and-chain edge that uses less yarn, so you can choose the look and yarn usage that fits your stash. She also shows off colorful granny stitch wind spinners that turned out to be far more fun than expected, especially when it comes to mixing colors and making quick, no-pressure projects. Next up is a handmade dog sweater story that turned into a full-on design adventure for an 8-week-old toy poodle. Christa talks through several prototypes, fit changes, and the cozy style she finally landed on for tiny Chewy. There's also a look at a thrifted dog jacket for shape inspiration, plus a growing pile of dog gear that's taking over the house in the best possible way. The podcast also dives into a new mandala-style project made with velvet yarn and worsted acrylic together, so the soft yarn has more strength and doesn't snap so easily. If you love stash-busting, color play, and making a round blanket, rug, or throw, this one will give you plenty of ideas. Then there's hook chat, including a comparison of different Jinlan hook woods, Clover favorites, and the knooking experiment Christa tried with Rachel. She also shares thoughts on which hooks feel best, what worked well, and what still needs testing. On the family side, there are updates on Rico, Chewy, summer plans, a 20th birthday tea farm quad-bike outing, and a university decision between Bath and Edinburgh. It's a warm, chatty episode with crochet, creativity, and a whole lot of real life! 🔗 TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 🔗 TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 ✅ YARN 🧶 https://amzn.to/4p4kA25 ✅ HOOK🪝 https://amzn.to/4vsdrLb ✅ Sharp Tip Needles 🪡 https://amzn.to/47jh9x5 **As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. 🌟Subscribe for more easy crochet patterns, made-to-measure designs, and beginner-friendly tutorials from Secret Yarnery! 🌟 ✅ SUBSCRIBE 📺 https://bit.ly/3VvXdCd ✅ JOIN 💗 https://bit.ly/44UC1bH ✅ FREE CROCHET CHEAT SHEET 🎁 https://bit.ly/3IP6z7D ✅ LEFT HANDED TUTORIALS 👈🏼 https://bit.ly/3UWNmoJ Thanks for watching LIVE June Crochet Mystery Wheel - Community Challenge Begins! ✔️ CROCHET MUST HAVES: ◻️ Starter Kit (with everything you need) ➡️ https://amzn.to/49D637w ◻️ My Favorite Crochet Hooks ➡️ https://amzn.to/4vsdrLb ◻️ Scissors ➡️ https://amzn.to/4fnC6Mj ◻️ Needles - Sharp Tip ➡️ https://amzn.to/3Rdq2ja ◻️ Stitch Markers ➡️ https://amzn.to/3GdGCYg ◻️ WIP Baskets ➡️ https://amzn.to/4fWxY68 ◻️ Measuring Tape ➡️ https://amzn.to/3JviyD8 **As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. ✨#Crochet ✨ #CrochetPatterns ✨ #CrochetAlong ✨ #BeginnerCrochet #yarn #EasyCrochet #howtocrochet #amigurumi #crochetblanket #freecrochetpattern #crochettutorial #crochetforbeginners
