Hi, it's Christa here!! As I sit down to reflect on recent conversations and experiences, I'm drawn to diverse topics that have captured my attention. From discussing about real estate to detailed travel plans and the joys of crochet, each aspect of my life brings its own unique excitement and adventure.
In my quest for a new home, I came across a fascinating array of properties, each with its own charm and character. From luxurious million-dollar estates boasting acres of land to more modest yet cozy homes nestled in vibrant neighborhoods, the real estate market has provided me with plenty to ponder.
I've marveled at the evolution of neighborhoods over the years, from their picture-perfect pasts to their subdivided present realities. Despite the changes, I've come to appreciate the unique appeal of each area, weighing factors such as land size, amenities, and community vibes in my search for the perfect home.
My passion for travel is evident in planning of my upcoming adventures. From visits to tea farms and luxury safari camps to crochet classes and cultural explorations, each day is filled with anticipation and excitement.
The journey begins with a morning coffee at a beloved café, followed by a visit to a tea farm where the intricate process of tea production unfolds before my eyes. As I immerse myself in indigenous forests and savor homemade lunches, I find solace in the beauty of nature and the warmth of local hospitality.
Luxury safari camps offer a glimpse into the wild beauty of Africa, while crochet classes promise moments of creativity and connection with fellow enthusiasts. From giraffe centers to elephant orphanages, each destination holds the promise of new experiences and cherished memories.
As I return home, my thoughts turn to the cozy comforts of crochet and the creative pursuits that bring joy to my life. A tour of my living space reveals a tapestry of yarn and finished projects, each one a testament to hours of dedication and love.
From shelves adorned with acrylics and chenilles to baskets overflowing with cottons and bamboos, my collection of yarn reflects the vibrant colors and textures of my imagination. Finished blankets and shawls adorn the walls, while crochet hooks and pattern books await their next adventure.
In this sanctuary of creativity, I find solace and inspiration in equal measure. Whether exploring new techniques or revisiting old favorites, the world of crochet offers endless possibilities for expression and exploration.
As I reflect on the conversations and experiences that have shaped my recent days, I am reminded of the richness and diversity of life's tapestry. From the excitement of real estate ventures to the thrill of travel and the comfort of crochet, each aspect of my journey adds depth and color to the narrative of my life

Love this item going to put little gifts in it on the tree ,just tying in tails.
I am really impressed with the quality of this written pattern as well as the video tutorial. Both are clear and detailed. I am not done with my striped cardigan yet, but it's coming together nicely (though I'm not so sure about my choice to use up yarn I already have with individual stripes!)... so many tails to sew in!! My advice would be to buy self-striping yarn like she does in the video.
Easy to follow pattern! Super base for the rectangle or other larger projects.
Keep the tutorials coming and with written and visual instructions to follow along so beginners can learn. Thank you for your help.
I think there is a mistake in the written pattern. It says to do a half double crochet twice, when it is only supposed to be once
Thank you to the Secret Yarnery for this pattern! Can't go wrong with this one, it really is easy and fast to make - I'm on my 2nd one already and plan to do more! You really don't need to look any further if you're looking to make a scarf - you will not be disappointed. In fact, you'll have fun making it (I did!) Happy crocheting!
Thank you for writing a pattern that is amazingly easy to follow and help me produce a stunning piece!!
Wow! I can't believe I made this beautiful toran. Well, yes I can since I followed this easy pattern! Again, wow! How fun was this to make! Super-duper easy to make and you can be as creative as you like by choosing colours, placement of colours to form pattern(s), number of leaves, etc. so it truly can be personalized for any occasion! Love the Secret Yarnery patterns and tutorials - thank you so much for your time, efforts, and for sharing your talent with the rest of us in the world!
The best pattern & tutorial I have ever come across. Loved how you used the needle to clearly point out where the stitch was to go. Have made 3 hats already. Many more on my to do list. Thanks so much
The yarn world is vast & has several yarn naming & grading systems. This chart really helps to get the right weight of yarn, size of needle, gauge & yardage/meterage when using patterns or yarns from other countries. And it covers both knit & crochet. Thank you for putting together this very useful tool, Secret Yarnery.
I love this pattern. Very easy to follow and fun to make.
Glad I found this pattern. I love it.
It was very easy to do. I have already made 4
Great pattern and PERFECT tutorial!
