Hi guys! I’m Katy, and I am the blogger behind Wild & Wanderful. If you follow me on Instagram, it wouldn’t come as a shock to you that I’m here to share a crochet pattern with you (because it’s possible that I’ve been a crocheting fool this winter!). Crocheted hats are what started me in the wild […]
Happy winter, 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 winter to figure them out (a crochet rocket playhouse, for instance). One of them I could oblige, however, and it’s this […]

As spring turns to summer and the temperatures rise, I can’t help but to turn my attention to linen yarn. Lovely, lovely linen, so light and airy with a beautiful drape. I’m not quite sure why I associate linen with interesting and modern pattern construction, but the two seem made for each other. Linen achieves […]
I’m convinced that shawls are the perfect knit item for spring and early summer. Chilly breeze? Put a shawl on! Sunny afternoon? How about a light silk wrap? Shawls are versatile as they can be styled casual or dressy, in all types of weather. They’re also fun to knit and easily portable. I put together […]
Hi friends! This weekend I read some of my favorite knitting blogs, and I started thinking about all the wonderful tools available for knitters. I have several favorite items that help keep my knitting area and stash organized, and some tools that help facilitate easy knitting. I thought I would share my knitting tool essentials, […]
Happy day, Stitch and Unwind readers! It’s Bethany again (I blog at Whistle and Ivy), and today I am sharing the pattern for this Crochet Cactus Pincushion Jar. I am absolutely loving this cactus trend, I think it’s absolutely adorable. One, because cactuses are pretty darn cute, and two, because they are the only houseplant […]
