Happy International CHOCOLATE Day: Winter Gloves
Hi everyone, my name is Krista Ann (@explorewithknitsy on IG), and I’m excited to be back writing for Clover’s blog! No matter where in the world you travel to, I recommend that you always make it a point to try the local chocolate. Every country has their own flavor of this delicious cocoa treat!

INSPIRATION: There’s something incredibly special about taking an old, forgotten piece and giving it a fresh lease on life through crochet. The magic of upcycling is whispering new stories into fabric that’s seen its fair share of adventures. What makes this project even more enchanting is the belief that we can infuse our creations with intention, just like practicing Reiki.

Tool School EXTRA CREDIT: Universal Knitting Counter
Hey everyone! Shannon & Jason here, from @embracethecreativechaos on IG! Picture it: you’re at your local guild meeting, and one of your stitching friends is extolling the benefits of using a bowl of those candy-coated chocolate candies to count their rows and to keep track of their increases, decreases, and pattern repeats.

But let’s be honest here –counting with a bowl of chocolates is like enlisting a mischievous squirrel who is just as likely to eat the evidence…
