GUEST POST FROM AUTHOR KATHLEEN FULLER
I’ve always loved to crochet. I learned how to crochet from my grandmother and mother when I was young but didn’t pick up the craft seriously until four years ago. Since then, I’ve made tons of crochet projects—scarfs and afghans of course, plus doilies and mandalas (my favorite), baskets, jewelry, kitchen items, socks, flowers—too many to name! My latest project is a cross body purse I made a few weeks ago.
Finally, I made the strap—or remade the strap, more accurately. I had this wallet purse, but it was too small for my phone.
I unfastened the strap, then crocheted around it. I made a loop on either side of the purse and connected the straps. That finished the purse, and I love it. It’s sturdy and holds a lot of stuff without sagging or unraveling. I plan on writing up the pattern at some point. When I do, you can get the pattern through my newsletter. You can sign up for the newsletter here.
Hooked on You: When I got the idea for writing a story featuring a yarn shop, I was, um, hooked. Knots and Tangles, Erma and Riley’s yarn store in Maple Falls, is inspired by Arkansas Yarn Co. in Malvern, AR. In a unique collaboration with Lorri Ann Helberg (yarn designer), Tamara Kelly (crochet designer) and Cheryl Ham (knitwear designer), the Riley Hat, created with Hooked on You yarn, was born.
The yarn: Hooked on You
The Riley Hat: Crochet Version
The Riley Hat: Knit Version
Kits containing an autographed copy of Hooked on You, a skein of Hooked on You yarn, plus the crochet and knit patterns are now available for pre-order from Arkansas Yarn Co. You can also find out more information about the patterns on my website. Just click on the Hooked on You yarn page on the top menu bar.
I hope you enjoyed a little peek into my crochet world. Be sure to pick up Hooked on You. If you crochet or knit the Riley Hat, post it on Instagram and tag me! @kf_booksandhooks. I’d love to see your creations. :)
