September came and went in a blink! The temperatures were all over the place; one day felt like summer, the next like fall. That’s just how early autumn is here in the Midwest!
Temperature Blanket Progress
September brought a blend of hot and mild days, and you can really see it reflected in my 2025 temperature blanket square. I love watching the colors shift as the seasons start to change. Only a few months left to go before this year’s blanket is complete!
KC Yarn Crawl
Rio and I took part in the Kansas City Yarn Crawl on September 19–20, visiting several local yarn shops and meeting other yarn lovers. We had such a fun time exploring, chatting with shop owners, and admiring all the beautiful yarns (and yes, a few skeins came home with us!).

Projects Completed in September
I didn’t finish a wide variety of projects this month, but here’s what came off my hook in September:
- Mable the Chicken — This little cutie added some farmyard fun to my crochet lineup! She was a quick and satisfying make. I have some of these available in my Etsy Store! https://www.etsy.com/listing/4376105610/crochet-chickenhandmade-crochet
- Pumpkins – I didn’t use one pattern for these; I borrowed ideas from a few different designs and came up with my own version. They turned out perfectly festive for fall! These are available in my Etsy Store as well! https://www.etsy.com/listing/4382171704/bundle-handmade-crochet-pumpkinsfall
What’s Coming Next
October is one of my favorite months to crochet – cozy projects, warm colors, and cooler evenings to enjoy a blanket and a good movie. I’ve got a few ideas in the works, so stay tuned to see what’s next off my hook!
What projects are you working on this fall? I’d love to hear about them in the comments below!
Until next time,
