My newest design, the Scripturient Scarf is published in the Crochet Foundry’s August Issue! It was such a pleasure to collaborate with them on this design, and I love seeing my designs published in magazines, it feels so surreal!
Inspiration
Scripturient (noun): Having a consuming passion to write
The Scripturient Scarf is inspired by crisp Fall leaves and wind rustling through the trees. Perfect for sitting in a warm library or dashing between classes in the cold. It will bring warmth and style to any outfit. The simple construction allows the engaging stitch pattern to shine and the repetitive pattern is perfect for some mindless stitching after a long day or while watching TV.
Yarn Review
I used We Crochet Wonderfluff for this scarf, which felt like an absolute dream! It was perfect for the scarf to make it super cosy, and I recommend you try it for your next Winter make.
Wonderfluff is, as the name suggests, a wonderfully fluffy yarn! The alpaca makes it oh so soft, perfect for next to skin garments but also super warm and cozy for cold-weather makes.
It is a bulky weight yarn, which makes it perfect for making large sweaters or scarves, but beware when frogging as the fluff makes it hard to see stitches and gets tangled easily.
There is a wide range of colours from pastels to brights, neutrals and jewel tones. I used the colour Mountain Fern Heather which is a gorgeous olive green colour.
Hook Review
Lately I’ve been loving ergonomic hooks, especially from Furls Crochet! For this project, I used the Jupiter Streamline Hook.
The sleek body of the hook fits perfectly in the palm of my hand and makes hours of crochet a breeze! If you love crocheting for long periods of time or find you get hand or wrist pain from crochet, I definitely recommend you trying an ergonomic hook as they can be real game changers.
The design of this hook is gorgeous, with different shades of earthy oranges and browns and even beautiful swirls of glitter. I know I’ll love and use this beautiful hook for years to come!

Crochet Foundry August Issue
The Crochet Foundry is an organisation that publishes monthly magazines to encourage making beautiful crochet pieces for women of all sizes. They are focused on customisation and inclusivity. I have had the privilege of having another of my designs, the Autumn Bloom Sweater published in their November 2023 Issue. I love working with the magazine and hope to continue this collaboration in the future!
The August Issue’s theme was Collegiate Crochet. It includes 7 fantastic Fall patterns, some really interesting articles and more crochet themed fun! For the moment, the scarf is exclusively published in the magazine, so if you would like to make it, I encourage you to grab a copy. Plus (crocheter math!) 7 patterns for $13 = less than $2 per pattern! (usually my patterns are $4-8 each)
Thanks so much for supporting my work! If you have any questions please drop a comment below. Happy crocheting!
