As a crocheter, I have taken part in several blog hops, but this is the first time I will participate as a designer, and I am so excited!

What is a Blog Hop?

Blog hops are events that are held by one designer, the host, who then brings together a variety of patterns from a range of designers over a period of time, normally one month, and around a particular theme. For each day during that month, a different designer is given centre stage on the host’s blog. The host then refers you to the designer’s own blog or website, where they will be offering one of their patterns for free with a code for 24 hours. This is brilliant if you decide that you just want to purchase one or two patterns over the month. But if you are interested in all the patterns, you can buy them as an ebook at a massive Early Bird discount! This means that you will have all of the designs in one PDF, you can have them straight away and don’t have to worry about missing out on the day.

The Relax and Hook Blog Hop

September 2022

As I mentioned, each blog hop has a theme and the theme of this blog hop is mindfulness and relaxation and the role that crochet can play in that. This is something I am passionate about as I have depression and anxiety and crochet helps me enormously. The ‘Relax and Hook’ blog hop is being hosted by a fellow crocheter (Small But Kinda Mighty) who is also an advocate for mental health and the positive impacts than can be had by crafting. The Facebook group for this event can be found here.

My day is the 26th of September (my birthday!!) and I have chosen my Honeycomb Shawl for this event as it is such a beautiful make and the repetitive pattern makes it perfect for relaxation and mindfulness. In order to get the code, you will just need to visit the Small But Kinda Mighty blog and follow the instructions in the specific blog post for the event. Easy peasy!

If you would prefer to buy the ebook, containing all of the patterns for this event, ad-free and in one place, as well as some extras, it is available HERE. This ebook is only available for the general public for the duration of this blog hop, so don’t miss out.
