Peppergoose Design

I’m taking a hiatus… After another distressing animal bite injury in my job as a veterinarian, I’ve decided to halt Peppergoose activities for a an indefinite period. It’s been difficult to balance work with Peppergoose for a while, but well.…. Camel. Straw. Members of Pepper-Gaggle and my subscribers might hear from me occasionally but I need to focus my time and energy on other things. Not sure how long I’m hanging up my crochet hook exactly, maybe 6-12 months or so. Before I go…

🙏 I sincerely THANK YOU for your support, for your interest in my crochet creations and patterns, for all your likes 💖, sharing and comments. The world of crochet is a wonderful community and it has all meant so much to me! 🤗

I wish you all a safe holiday season ✨with your loved ones, a happy, exciting and prosperous new year # # 😘

I struggled a bit to choose a pic.. this is my Evolving Bella hoodie prototype as a WIP. This pattern along with all my others are available on Ravelry ongoing during my hiatus….. When I am ready, I will Peppergoose again, but bye for now…

Pattern testing for my Evolving Bella Hoodie has highlighted that folks might need some extra guidance around how to sew in a zip!

I figure y’all won’t mind a little delay in pattern release while I create some extra resources to support the finishing touch of zip insertion...

Yes, you could google it but I am working on a blog with photos and videos to show you how I have sewn my zips into various samples. My patterns are often educational and this is just part of that ethos 😉🤓🧶❤️

I will put a blog link into the pattern so it’s easy for everyone to find it when making their own Evolving Bella! (And it will be a free tutorial on my website to inspire any hookster looking for a way to sew a zip into a crochet garment they are working on…)

Yes, that’s a hood! I love a hooded jacket, with the hood down it both gives some structure around the neckline and some extra warmth at the top section of your back 😉

It’s working really well in this Silk Garden blend as it has some mohair in it so it’s super toasty while still being fairly light!

I felt it needed a bit of contrast trim so I took a dive into my stash and came up with the river washed, what do you think?

A little weekend WIP test fit and loving it! For this project I am making a bigger size (5) for myself than I usually would (3) because I plan on wearing it as a pretty casual and comfy positive ease crocheted hug 🤗

Pattern writing is coming along well too. There are 13 sizes and I’ll share more pics soon!

I hope you are having a great weekend and finding some time to do the things that recharge you! 💗
