Happy WIP Wednesday, friend! 🧶

Pull up a chair, because there’s a little celebration happening this week.

Week 1 of the Golden Hour crochet-along is officially here! 🌅 The S’mores Tote — a roomy, sturdy cotton market bag — kicked things off on Saturday. Of course, I’ve loved seeing it start landing in your hands. If you haven’t joined yet, don’t worry — it’s not too late. It’s a free-to-join, 4-week summer stitch-along, and every pattern coordinates into one warm, golden collection.

Now — for what’s actually on my hook this week…

I’ve got a few shawls keeping me company between the bigger projects. Right now, I’m working them up in a different layout — playing with how the rows fall and where the shaping lands. In fact, there’s something so grounding about a make like that: no deadline, just for the love of it. 💛

So tell me — are you stitching along with Golden Hour, working something all your own, or (like me) a little of both? Either way, drop it in the comments — I love seeing what’s on your hooks this week. 👇
