Where I live, sometimes it takes a while for summer to really heat up. Now that we’re coming up on July, the heat is finally turning up and it’s going to be stifling hot for the next few months whether I like it or not. Which means crocheting more sweaters may have to wait until […]
Pom-poms, big or small, are a trend I’ve seen popping up everywhere lately. A knit or crochet hat is an adorable way to accessorize during winter, and unlike most trends, this one is appropriate for men, women, and children alike! It helps that they’re usually pretty toasty, too, making them perfect for winter – not […]
Airplane tickets are being purchased, bus schedules are being looked at and the halls are starting to get decked. That very special time of the year is quickly approaching when we get to spend a wonderful few days with our loved ones. Unfortunately, trying to get to those loved ones can sometimes be the worst […]
There’s no reason anyone should be bored during the month of July because, you guessed it, it’s National Anti-Boredom month! Grab your knitting or crocheting needles and let’s get crafting!

When I think of February 14, I think of Valentine’s Day cards, dinner at a favorite restaurant, boxes of chocolate, and long-stemmed roses (please tell me I’m not alone!). While those are all tried-and-true ways of celebrating the occasion, they’re also predictable. Dull. Ho-hum. You get the picture. I’m thinking of making a change this […]
Happy fall, ya’ll! I’m Bethany, the blogger and crocheter behind Whistle and Ivy. My son has been making some serious crochet requests lately. Some of them are so fantastical it might take me all fall and winter to figure them out (a crochet rocket playhouse, for instance). One of them I could oblige, however, and […]
Aren’t Septembers wonderful? We took a drive through a local canyon and the timing was perfect for seeing the beautiful fall colors. I love having the option of slippers and scarves in the evening, but also opening the windows in the afternoon and letting in the perfect warm breeze. It reminds me of the excitement of the new […]
