Check out the Viral Justin Bieber Sushi Date Night Crochet Blanket FREE pattern and video tutorial. Learn how to make this gorgeous and beginner friendly granny square blanket!

I stopped in my tracks (aka “scrolling”) as soon as I spotted the photo of Justin Bieber going on a sushi date night with his wife wearing a granny square crochet blanket.

Justin Bieber was in full technicolor with my favorite type of crochet project!

And I immediately started making plans to make the project and to help you make it as well.

I have some lofty (for me) crocheting & knitting goals that I would like to accomplish this coming year. And that, my friends, is going to take some planning.

Most of the time, I have no rhyme or reason for my projects and just make what I want, when I want.

But that’s not working well for me anymore.

I’ve missed giving handmade gifts for important events in our family because I failed to plan. I didn’t get the patterns I had designed written and published because I failed to plan. I totally forgot about one entire WIP because I failed to plan.

You get the picture.

I’ve tested nine different popular crochet gadgets to see if they are worth the money. Spoiler alert, five of them were total flops.

There is nothing more frustrating than buying something for your crochet hobby that you believe will be a benefit, only to find out that it was a big waste of money.

I splurged and bought nine different crochet gadgets from Amazon, testing each one of them to see if they are worth the money.

Five of the nine are total flops and I will share my reasons for why I’m giving them such a bad review.

Four of the nine are surprisingly good and I’ll share my reasons for why I’m rating them so highly.

It’s always fun to look back and see the progress you’ve made with crocheting and knitting. But ranking them is even more interesting. Check out everything I crocheted & knit in 2022 and let it inspire you to look back on your own creations from this year.

Originally I didn’t think 2022 was a productive crafting year for me. But when I looked back on everything I crocheted & knit in 2022 I was pleasantly surprised.

The way I remember what I’ve made is by going back through my Instagram account. The problem is I don’t know the exact total because there were times that I forgot to share what I made.

Instagram is an organized way to keep up with what you’ve made throughout the year. But it doesn’t work well if you forget to post them, lol.
