Fat Lady Crochet

I'd love to include a photo of your Long Dog in my upcoming pattern book.

If you've made a Long Dog using my pattern, please send me one, and only one, well-lit photo, along with your name (your name or business name or pseudonym, whichever your prefer) to [email protected].

Have them to me by August 10, because this baby is off to the printers STAT

You guys are amazing. Angela sent me a note and these photos. Here's what she wrote: "... I just wanted to let you know that I have been crocheting your Jimothy nonstop for the past 2 weeks, and selling them ... with all proceeds going to animal shelters. We have raised $320 so far! ... Everybody loves Jimothy 🥹"

And that little hat? A custom request!

📸 Want your Long Dog in the book?

I'm putting together something really special, and I'd love to include photos of Long Dogs made by this amazing community!

If you've made a Long Dog using my pattern, send me your favourite photo for a chance to be featured in the book as part of a community gallery.

To enter, please send:
🐾 Your highest-quality photo. (Just one please)
🐾 The name you'd like me to use in the book (your first name, full name, or business name—whatever you prefer).
🐾 Your photo to: [email protected]
🐾 Deadline: August 10

A couple of important things:
❤️ By sending me your photo, you're giving me permission to print it in the book and use it to help promote the book.
❤️ Not every submission will be included, but I'll do my best to feature as many as possible.
❤️ There isn't any payment if your photo is selected—being included in the book is my way of celebrating the wonderful Long Dog community and the creativity you've shared.

I absolutely can't wait to see your Long Dogs! Thank you for helping make this book even more special.

This was a fun project. I had an old chair and an idea for the peace van granny squares. I made it up as I went, custom fitting the pieces to the chair.

Merideth sent me some beautiful shots of the pieces she created out of the Best Friends book. Retired from my shops, this collection is now a physical book that can be purchased from Amazon in a few formats - hardcover, softcover and kindle. Link in the comments 😊

These two cushions were part of a series I created 5 years ago. I was envisioning children’s room decor - piling up these guys on a bed or on sitting on a bookshelf beside some great kids books.

My mom and I spent the week in Quebec. We’ve packed in so much in our short time here - museums, tours, a dinner cruise, the giant gondola/ferris wheel, lunch at Chateau Frontenac, just to name a few. The people that live here are friendly and welcoming. 10/10, O Canada 🇨🇦

I never really realized how close the Staypuft Marshmallow Man design is to the Pillsbury Doughboy! Anyhoo, this is bubble butt Staypuft and July really gave him some cake! Love Love Love!

Do you recognize this family?

How many times have I said I’m going to get this pattern updated and released haha! I can’t remember which publication picked this one up but I do know it was for a 2-year contract which means I own the rights again. Some day I’m going to not have a zillion things on the go and WILL get this froggy cushion guy back out there.
