🌸 Thank You For 46 Wonderful Weeks | Weekly Celebration Finale 🌸

Well, we've made it to Week 46 💛✨

 

What started as a simple idea to celebrate one Apple Blossom Dreams pattern each week has turned into almost a full year of sharing beautiful crochet designs, favourite makes, colourful yarns, and wonderful memories with all of you 🌸

Over the last 46 weeks we've revisited blankets, cushions, floral motifs, home décor projects, and some of the most-loved Apple Blossom Dreams designs. It's been such a lovely way to showcase the collection and celebrate the creativity of this amazing crochet community 🧶💗

As a special thank you, all Apple Blossom Dreams patterns are 20% off on Etsy this week 🎉

More importantly, I want to say a huge thank you.

Thank you for supporting the patterns.

Thank you for sharing your photos.

Thank you for your messages, comments, encouragement, and kindness.

Thank you for helping keep these beautiful designs thriving 🌸

Whether you've been here since Week 1 or you've only recently discovered Apple Blossom Dreams, I'm so grateful you've been part of this journey 💛

And whilst this may be the end of the Weekly Celebrations, it's definitely not the end of Apple Blossom Dreams ✨

 

In fact... something new is coming very soon! 👀🌸

I can't wait to start sharing what I've been working on and bring some fresh inspiration to the grid over the coming weeks.

Until then, thank you again for every stitch, every share, and every bit of support.

Happy crocheting 💗

🌼Week 44 of 46 | This Week's Featured Pattern is the A Year in Flowers Blanket!🌼

 🌼 A Year in Flowers | Weekly Celebration 🌼

This week’s Weekly Celebration is a little different because we're celebrating not just a pattern, but an entire year of crochet memories 🌸✨

A Year in Flowers, created in collaboration with Emkatcrochet, transforms daily temperatures into beautiful floral motifs, creating a stunning blanket that tells the story of your year one flower at a time 🌿💛

 

Each flower records the temperatures for a single day, with colours chosen to represent the highs and lows. As the months pass, your blanket becomes a unique visual diary of changing seasons, weather patterns, and memories 🌷

One of the questions I get asked most often is: "Is it too late to start?"

The answer is always absolutely not! 🌸

You can begin in January, June, September, or even use the pattern to record a previous year. Some people crochet each flower daily, while others enjoy catching up weekly or monthly. There is no right or wrong way to create your blanket 💕

 

To make things even easier, there are lots of helpful resources available, including:

🌼 Free logbook downloads

🌼 Temperature tracking sheets

🌼 Video support and tutorials

🌼 UK and US colour suggestions

Whether you're already stitching flowers every day or have been thinking about starting, this is your reminder that it's never too late to begin your own Year in Flowers journey 🌸🌿

Happy crocheting! 🌼
