Crema Blanket

Maybe it’s the chill in the air but lately I have wanted nothing more than a cozy, repetitive project I can snuggle up to at night and not pay much attention to while I indulge in my latest favorite series. If you’re in the same boat, you’re going to LOVE my new design, the Crema Blanket.

Traveling Afghans: The First Squares

Starting in January 2020, the Traveling Afghans will set sail from NYC and journey to a new designer every two weeks. Each designer will create a 10"x10" square to add to either the knit or the crochet blanket before sending it off to the next person to add theirs. They will each publish their pattern for free online so YOU can follow along with us and create your own knit or crochet afghan! This year-long collaborative effort will feature stories from the designers about their paths as makers, and will give you the opportunity to learn new stitches and make new friends in the community along the way.
