As I sit down to share with you the latest happenings in my world of crochet, I can't help but marvel at the whirlwind of activities that have filled my days. From crochet projects to unexpected culinary adventures, each day brings its own unique blend of creativity and chaos. So join me as I take you through a typical day in my life, filled with yarn, stitches, and a dash of spontaneity.
As a devoted crocheter living in Nairobi, Kenya, my days are anything but ordinary. With four kids, five dogs, and a bustling household, finding time for my beloved craft can be a challenge. Yet, amidst the hustle and bustle, I always manage to carve out moments to pick up my hook and yarn. Whether it's early mornings before the chaos ensues or late nights after the kids are tucked into bed, crochet serves as my sanctuary—a peaceful oasis in the midst of life's whirlwind.
Life in Nairobi is vibrant and dynamic, filled with unexpected twists and turns. From impromptu shopping trips to navigating the bustling streets, each day brings its own share of adventures. Recently, I found myself on a quest for the perfect camera, eager to capture every stitch and smile. But as fate would have it, my journey took an unexpected turn when I stumbled upon a local vegetable market. Amidst the colorful chaos of the market stalls, I found myself immersed in a world of sights, sounds, and smells—a true feast for the senses.
In a surprising twist of fate, my search for household help led me to a talented chef with a passion for cooking. What started as a simple interview quickly evolved into a culinary extravaganza, as she whipped up a five-course meal that left my taste buds tingling. Now, with a chef in the kitchen, I find myself indulging in gourmet delights that far surpass my usual culinary creations. From creamy mushroom soups to Kenyan delicacies like mminde, each meal is a testament to the power of creativity and collaboration.
As I reflect on the events of the day, I'm reminded of the beauty of life's unexpected moments. From crochet projects to culinary adventures, each day is filled with its own unique blend of creativity and chaos. And amidst it all, I find solace in the rhythmic click of my crochet hook and the warmth of a homemade meal. So here's to embracing life's twists and turns, one stitch at a time. Until next time, stay hooked!

Dive into my review of wooden yarn holders from AliExpress and see how they stack up. Perfect for crochet enthusiasts needing a smoother crafting experience, I evaluate budget-friendly options like the $6 Bamboo Yarn Holder and the $11.70 Magnetic Yarn Holders. Find out which holder spins effortlessly and which one falls short. Should you add these to your crochet toolkit? Let's find out!
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.
The directions are so clear and easy to follow. I am a beginner and this pattern is really making me feel confident. My first stocking was less than an hour to make (which I went really slow-so it was a surprise it worked up so quickly). I am making them for a group of coworkers and I think they are going to love them! Thank you.
