There’s nothing better than settling in with a comfortable crochet project and everything you need close at hand. So I'm treating you to some fun goodies, right from my own collection!

Coffee. Crochet. Sleep. Repeat. Project Bag

Where did I get this? I no longer recall. My project bag collection is beyond my ability to start projects - and I've been collecting for a very long time now. But it's super cute and still has the tag on, so I'm passing it on to a good home - filled with some yarn, of course! Here's the info on the bag:

Eco Bags - ecobags.com
Certified Organic Cotton
Fair Wage/Fair Labor
Drawstring Top with Printed Front

Cloudborn Highland Supreme Sock Twist

These yarns were originally sold by Craftsy... before it was Blueprint... and then Craftsy again. They have been sitting in my stash for quite some time. And while they are truly lovely, I also know that I will never get around to stitching them up. So I'm passing them on to one lucky winner! Here are the stats:

Cloudborn Highland Supreme Superwash Sock Twist
178 yds/50 g
80% Superwash Highland Wool and 20% Polyamide
Colorway: Hand Paints - Strawberry Fields

There's a trio of new yarns from Bernat, all created with sustainability in mind! Bernat Future Inspire Yarn is a blend of recycled acrylic and recycled wool - and we're taking a closer look and giving away 8 skeins here on Moogly!

"Find your spark with Bernat Future Inspire! This #6 super bulky yarn blends recycled wool and acrylic for a plush, durable finish that works up quickly with excellent stitch definition. Perfect for cozy winter accessories and snuggly blankets, Future Inspire helps you make small, conscious choices while creating projects that warm both heart and home."

Just The Yarny Facts:

Taking a Closer Look at Bernat Future Inspire

Crafting and sustainability don't always walk hand in hand - but these new yarns from Bernat make it a lot easier to crochet and knit eco-consciously. Even the labels have been made with Kraft cardboard. Bernat Future Inspire currently features 6 gorgeous colorways!

I don't know much about the process for recycling acrylic or wool, but I do know that the skein of Bernat Future Inspire I am looking at right now is lovely. It has a fuzzy, slightly woolly look, with a small halo. The feel is soft, and not at all itchy - but not plasticy either. The color is consistent throughout, yet it has a bit of a dark and light blend happening, creating a lot of depth.

The recommended hook and needle size is 9mm, so this is a wonderful yarn for quick projects. I know that The Crochet Crowd used it to make a Chunky Pom Pom Cat Ears Hat, and Repeat Crafter Me used it to create her Giant Crochet Hershey Kiss! I decided to try this yarn out, and I've whipped up something new myself - look for the new pattern on January 28th! Here's a sneak peek!

I managed to make several false starts on this pattern, and that means there was a lot of frogging and pulling out stitches! Luckily, the halo of Inspire didn't cause the yarn to stick or tangle. The halo did occasionally grab the hook, but it didn't fuzz up too much with stitching and frogging. The yarn feels soft to the touch, and is squishy in the skein, but does feel more solid when stitched up. For wearables, I think I would go up from the recommended hook size a little bit, or use a more open stitch pattern as seen in the scarf below. This yarn is perfect for home decor as well - and I'll add my pattern to the list on Wednesday!

Pattern Inspiration for Bernat Future Inspire

Of course, Yarnspirations has created a bunch of new patterns for their new yarn! Check out the new FREE Edgepoint Knit Scarf, In A Snap Knit Mittens, Mountain Mist Crochet Throw, Cloudy Day Knit Sweater, and Roundabout Crochet Scarf patterns! What do you want to make with this new yarn?

The Essential Crochet Dictionary by Sophie Martin is billed as "Your go-to reference guide for stitching beautiful crochet!" Take a peek inside, see what I think, and enter to win your own copy here on Moogly!

Disclaimer: I was given a copy of this book; all opinions are my own. This post includes affiliate links. 

The Essential Crochet Dictionary Review

Normally, I start with a bit about the author, but this author is a mystery! I tried looking up Sophie Martin a variety of ways and found... nothing! So moving on...

I was gifted a copy of this book at 2025's Crochet Guild of America Retreat - and when there were extras, they let me grab a second copy to give away! And now is the time! From the description:

"Learn all the stitches you need to know to be a successful crocheter!

This conveniently sized handbook covers 100 stitches, including the foundation chain, Tunisian crochet, square stitch, palm stitch, offset mesh, picot trellis, ladder stitch, iris stitch, half-daisy border, and many more!

With this book in your crochet kit, you will be able to tackle any crochet project! Master the stitches with easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions and nearly 200 photos for guidance. Great for beginner, intermediate, and advanced crocheters, the stitches in this dictionary have been chosen for their diversity, rendering, modernity, and simplicity of execution, and are organized by style like full, mesh, open, relief, border, and Tunisian. The stitches have been photographed on a black background, making the details of each stitch easier to see — and learn!

These 176 pages are jam-packed with photos and explanations of stitches and techniques to help you create beautifully stitched projects every time. You'll also find a helpful glossary of basic and advanced crochet terms and handy tips to make each stitch work wonderfully.

Just as essential as a skein of yarn and a hook, Essential Crochet Dictionary is the practical, in-depth visual guide that is a must-have for any yarn-lover's library or project bag!"

Peeking inside, I am impressed with how much they were able to pack into this book. That said, I do feel like there were some shortcuts taken. Or maybe I just disagree with their choices? The Terms Used section has some great info... mixed with some questionable statements. As an example, in talking about Decreases it states, "The most common way of doing this is to skip the stitches you'd like to reduce at the end of a row." Is it really the most common? It's one way... but that's not how I would define Decreases.

Diving into the actual stitch instructions, the step-by-step photos are super helpful, although I think that some of the wording could be clearer - "threading" the yarn rather than "pulling" it through loops, for example. This might be a language issue, but as I have no info on Sophie I couldn't say. The instructions on Tunisian Crochet have the foundation row at the front, and then leave you adrift until you realize that was just the set up and the rest is at the back of the book.

So would I recommend this book? Only to those who already have the basics of crochet down and are looking for a compact project-bag sized stitch dictionary. There are some fun stitch patterns in here, and the Index at the back is great for quick checks of "am I remembering that stitch correctly?" But overall, I cannot recommend this book to beginners. Also... but...? You can form your own opinion when you win the giveaway below!

As I write this review, it's the #1 New Release in Stuffed Animal Crafts on Amazon! If you'd like to create your own cuddly crew, be sure to read and enter the giveaway below. And if you'd like to get a taste of what's inside, we've got a freebie for you to make too!

Disclaimer: I was given a copy of this book for review; all opinions are my own. This post includes affiliate links. 

Quirky Amigurumi Excerpt and Review

A Bit About the Author

Author Alleshen Hamilton is the creator of GheeBeans Crafty and she has an Etsy Shop! This is her first book, and she is a bit of a mystery - no author blurb on Amazon or on her blog! One thing I do know - she loves crocheting and describers herself as "That sea critter obsessed weirdo" - so I like her so far! 😉 And she was kind enough to share an expert from her book - the pattern for the Reginald the Reef Squid!

Reginald the Reef Squid

This pattern was designed by Alleshen Hamilton, and can be found in Quirky Amigurumi: 30 Low-Sew Crochet Patterns for Cute & Silly Creatures, copyright 2025! And because this is a full-length amigurumi pattern, I've decided to put it on a separate page here on Moogly - CLICK HERE to go to the Reginald the Reef Squid pattern - and keep scrolling to read the rest of the review and enter the giveaway!

My Peek Inside Quirky Amigurumi

"Create your very own weird and fun-loving companions with this collection of simple, no- or low-sew amigurumi patterns. Led by creative pattern designer Alleshen Hamilton of GheeBeans Crafty, you can stitch up the cuddly, strange creatures of your dreams, whether you’re an adventurous beginner or an experienced crocheter. With easy-to-follow instructions and minimal sewing, you’ll be able to bring this whole collection of wacky creatures to life, like:

- Shoko the Shrimp
- Baxter the Blobfish
- Mathas the Mothman
- Bertram the Banana Slug
- Penelope the Pygmy Hippo
- Shirley the Soy Sauce

If you want to add even more character to your companions, you’re in luck! Alleshen includes five charming crochet accessories including sweater-vests, hats, and more that will make your little buddies as cute—and as stylish—as can be. Before long, you’ll have your very own group of loveable plush creatures that are filled with personality!"

Now, I would love to add my insight here... but this book got caught up in holiday shipping, and didn't arrive in time for me to write my review! I'll be sure to make a video tour of it and insert it here when it arrives. UPDATE - It's here!

That said, I was able to view the first few pages on Amazon, as well as the Reginald the Reef Squid pattern! And I like what I see!

Judging based on what I can see, the patterns are written in "amigurumi style" - abbreviated, without extra verbiage. If you're familiar with amigurumi or an experienced crocheter, you'll be able to follow along! I do recommend always reading any tips sections in the book to make sure you understand the assumed things - like whether you're joining and chaining or working in a spiral! The photos look great, and the creatures are adorable!

Tunisian Crochet Tops Excerpt and Review

A Bit About the Author

Author Ashley Rivas is the creator of Tiny Couch Crochet, and this is her debut book! Here's her author blurb:

"Ashley is an independent crochet and Tunisian Crochet designer, and the creator of Tiny Crouch Crochet. She has always had a fondness for both math and art, and she is thrilled to have found an outlet that uses both. With a technical background in engineering and lifelong love of the arts, Ashley was able to turn her passions into designing crochet clothing that fits! She has written many beginner-friendly patterns in both traditional crochet and Tunisian crochet, which can be found on her website...

Ashley lives in California with her husband, Joe, son, Weston, and two pups, Scout and Dougie. Outside of crochet, she has a love for reading, baking, and deep diving into any and all craft and art forms. "

And she was kind enough to share an expert from her book - the pattern for the Golden Hour Cardigan!

Golden Hour Cardigan

This pattern was designed by Ashley Rivas, and can be found in Tunisian Crochet Tops, copyright 2025! And because this is a full-length sweater pattern, I've decided to put it on a separate page here on Moogly - CLICK HERE to go to the Golden Hour Cardigan pattern - and keep scrolling to read the rest of the review and enter the giveaway!

My Peek Inside Tunisian Crochet Tops

Ashley has put together a true beginner's book for Tunisian Crochet Tops! In the intro, she states that her goal with this book was to show that you can crochet "clothing-worthy drape with Tunisian crochet" - and I think she has succeeded!

There is a great section on Tunisian crochet basics, with super helpful pictures.

I was excited to see a page about stitch anatomy, pointing out exactly which loops are referred to in what way - I think this is where a lot of newbies get confused!

And of course, there are gorgeous patterns. Stripes, cables, cardigans, raglans, and cropped tanks - there's a lot here to explore, and a style to suit almost everyone.

With sizes ranging from XS to 5X, this is a book for nearly every crocheter who wants to make their own tops and sweaters with Tunisian  crochet!

Farm Friends Crochet: Supersize Amigurumi to Cuddle and Play by Kristi Simpson and Kimberly Simpson features 7 cute critters writ large! Take a peek inside below, and then enter to win your own copy, right here on Moogly!

Disclaimer: I was given a copy of this book for review; all opinions are my own. This post includes affiliate links. 

The Farm Friends Crochet Review

A Bit About the Authors

If you read or collect crochet books, you've probably come across Kristi Simpson before. In this book, she has enlisted the help of her daughter, Kimberly!

"Driven by her love of yarn & crafts, Kristi's mission is to: Create Design & Inspire with a fresh and modern touch.  Kristi is a best selling Author/Designer and her work is/has been published in: Magazines (including several covers), Books, Kits, DVD's, Catalogs, Online Classes/Tutorials/Venues, and with many Yarn Companies. Kristi has hosted multiple chemo cap drives where over 2,000 hats have been donated! She is married with 4 children." And one of them is our co-author!

Let's take a closer look at their newest book!

Inside Farm Friends Crochet

"Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crocheter, Farm Friends Crochet provides step-by-step instructions to create an adorable cast of farm friends, including Bob the Dog, Mela the Highland Cow, and Quackers the Duck. Crafted with bulky and super bulky yarn, these plush animals are designed for maximum squishiness, making them perfect for cuddling. With clear guidance on stitch techniques, gauge adjustments, and finishing touches, you'll have everything you need to bring these huggable creatures to life.

More than just a pattern book, Farm Friends Crochet is packed with expert tips to help you master the art of amigurumi. Learn essential techniques like the magic ring, invisible joins, and strategic stuffing to create smooth, well-shaped animals with sturdy forms. The book also includes practical advice on stitch counting, placement markers, and safety precautions to ensure your creations are both beautiful and child-friendly. Each pattern is carefully designed for seamless construction, with most animals featuring a combined head and body for a more polished and professional finish.

Get ready to stitch your way to a delightful barnyard collection!"

So how big are they? As shown, the animals in Farm Friends Crochet measure 13 to 17 inches tall, with primarily 5-Bulky weight yarn. A US-J, 6mm hook keeps this fabric tight, so you can add safety eyes and stuffing. But of course, you can go even bigger by going bigger with the yarn! (Or smaller, with a DK or sport weight!)

There are some great notes and tips up front, and a short but thorough section on stitches in the back - with lots of helpful pics! The patterns are written in US terms, and in standard pattern format rather than the abbreviated "amigurumi style." If you've got a little farmer in your life, this book is sure to help you put lots of smiles on their face!

In this collection, you'll find the Crochet Hook Stitch Case, Buddy Case, Train Case, Scissor Pocket (with scissors), and Round Mini Zip. I've gotten to see most of these in person, and I'm excited to have added the Vinyl Buddy Case in Starlight to my della Q collection!

The della Q Glow Collection Vinyl Buddy Case

"Shine on with this compact crafting sidekick, now reimagined in sleek canvas and iridescent vinyl. Strong interior magnets keep your stitch markers, needles, and notions right where you need them, while the soft yet structured frame keeps everything safe on the go.

The Buddy Case is a super handy addition to any project bag or case - and one I immediately fell in love with! It measures 5" L x 3.5" W x 2" D - compact but mighty. The magnetic walls keep all my yarn needles in place, and there's a ton of room for all the other bits and bobs.  The sturdy construction and strong snap mean it will last a long time - and I do plan to put it through its paces in 2026!

Darn Good Yarn - and So Much More!

Darn Good Yarn has been around since 2008, a woman-owned and family-operated business focused on fair trade and recycled materials. "Around the world, Darn Good Yarn employs people who have been marginalized or mistreated by society. With our co-ops, these artisans can find sustainable, safe, fair, and year-round employment to support themselves and their families."

While they do sell gorgeous Sari Skirts, clothes, and accessories, they do primarily sell yarn! And they have lots of yarns to choose from!

And that includes the Yarn-a-Melon – DIY Crochet or Knit Kits! I snagged two of these kits when I taught for the Crochet Guild of America at their retreat this past summer, and I've been waiting for the perfect time to share them with all of you!

Inside each kit you'll find:

• Both knit and crochet patterns, all the yarn necessary to complete the project, stuffing, and a darning needle.
• It also includes a set of 4 (3mm) double pointed knitting needles & a C/2 (3mm) crochet hook
• Enough to make 2 delicious slices!

And you can follow along with the video tutorial if needed too! As I write this, it looks like they might be clearancing them out - so if you need more for stocking stuffers, I'd act fast!

Bright and Beautiful Vivid Rose

Toni Lipsey is the genius behind TL Yarn Crafts, a much loved crocheter "known for bold color, modern design, and empowering creativity!" She has partnered with della Q to create a whole line of bags in gorgeous Vivid Rose, including 10 iconic della Q styles.

della Q bags are gorgeous to look at, wonderful to use, and have a whole bunch of special features!

Hidden Yarn Cutter - Now this is sneaky! When you unsnap the zipper pull it reveals a small hidden yarn cutter. This is a new upgrade, and safer for our hands! You'll find this feature in the Backpack, Midi Backpack, Tote, Rucksack, and Mini Messenger.

Yarn Feeder - More than a bag, it's a yarn bowl on the go! Thread your yarn through the grommet for smooth, happy stitching! This feature is included in the Backpack, Midi Backpack, Tote, Rucksack, and Mini Messenger.

Stitch Marker Pin - This stylish accessory isn't just for looks! The removable pin holds your stitch markers ready to go - along with your other charms! Three stitch markers are included to get you started. This is found in the Backpack, Midi Backpack, Tote, Rucksack, and Mini Messenger.

Darning Needle - Because who doesn't need another yarn needle! Tucked into the pocket of every bag, you'll appreciate it as soon as you need it!

Dot Journal - Oh, you think you'll remember the way you did that row when you get home? We've all made that mistake. This little notebook is perfect for jotting down your notes and tweaks  - and your yarn shopping list!

I've Got a Messenger For You!

I got to take a closer look at the della Q and TL Yarn Crafts Vivid Rose Maker's Mini Messenger - and I'm in love! It's got all the great features listed above, and it's just a great everyday size. There are tons of pockets for all your bits and bobs, and could easily become not just a project bag, but your everyday purse!

While it's called a Mini Messenger, it's not a tiny bag - just smaller than most of their other bags! Measuring 8"(W) x 14"(H) x 4"(D), it's ideal for travel - local or far. It's lightweight and water-repellent, made of waxed canvas with full grain leather trim and antique bronze hardware. The 41.5" long strap can swap sides, so you can wear this bag in a bunch of different ways - left or right, front or back!

I have managed to collect a few della Q bags, and I'm so impressed with the quality of each and every one. This one includes a carrying handle at the top, and have I mentioned the pockets? There is the exterior front zip pocket, a hidden snap pocket on the back, and two main zip compartments with lots of interior pockets!

Ready to see it in action!

Get The VIP Treatment All Year Long!

You are important, and you deserve nice things. And the Surprise Boxes from Twice Sheared Sheep are VERY nice indeed! When you sign up for the VIP Surprise Box Club, you'll get three gift boxes a year. Each surprise gift box will contain items worth at least $140 and is guaranteed to include the following:

• 8 unique full-sized presents
• 1 skein of wool or wool blend yarn
• 2 brand new, never-before-seen Twice Sheared Sheep goodies
• 5 other beautiful and useful notions you'll use all year long!

What's better than getting beautiful boxes of yarn and notions, carefully curated by experts, several times a year? I don't know if it can be outdone, but it CAN be enhanced!

What Else Is Included In Your VIP Membership?

As a VIP club member, you ALSO receive:

• $766 value for only $310!
• 3 Surprise gift boxes (one sent in each month of March, June, and September) - $420 value
• Exclusive Q&A class with Dawn - $100 value
• 3 Seasonal challenges with prizes for completing each one - $30 value

• VIP early access to all collection launches
• VIP early access and 10% off Summer Camp signups - $120 value
• End of the year club only Zoom party and awards ceremony

A Year-Long Adventure For Both Knitters and Crocheters

Here's the road map - I mean Treasure Map! - for yarny fun!

Both knitters and crocheters will love the VIP surprise boxes, and there's only one difference between the crochet and knit versions - only 1 item will be different to accommodate crochet better! So, if you do both, they recommend getting the Knit Box. They will allow you to "add on" any crochet-only items to Knit Boxes a few weeks before they ship out each gift box! That said, please note that these boxes will include wool, and there are no substitutions.

And if you've done this club before, don't let that stop you from joining in again! While some items may be similar to last year, there promise there will be a much wider variety in the boxes than in any year they have done before! They are doing their best to "knock your socks off with the value!"

The opportunity to join the 2026 VIP Surprise Box Club Membership ends on January 2nd, and there is no later enrollment (and they may sell out)! The first goodies go out in January, so CLICK HERE if you want to secure your spot now!
