Spring is in the air and that means outings and picnics and all the adorable farm animals! After I shared my pattern for Bonnie the Cow, I knew I had to make a lovey version of those cuties too.

Hajra grew up in a Muslim household, but sometimes wearing her hijab outside was hard. Especially when she went to a public school and just felt different. She believed in everything it stood for and she did love it, but it wasn’t always easy.

Hasan is going to Hajj for the first time and he is so excited and grateful to be visiting Mecca and Madina! It’s been a dream for him to someday be able to perform Hajj, and this year, he and his wife Hajra are finally going to see the Kaabah and all the sites they’ve learned about in Islamic school growing up.

Ibrahim practically grew up in the masjid. Like most kids in his hometown, he went to Friday prayers every week with his dad and listened to the lectures, and chatted with the uncles. Over the weekends, he’d spend hours learning to read and memorize Qur’an with his teacher. And then playing basketball out back with his friends in the class.

During Hajj, Muslims from all over the world go to Mecca to visit the Kaaba and perform Hajj. And one of the rituals we do during Hajj is called tawaf, where we circle the Kaaba and recite prayers.

It’s pretty well known that Muslim women wear hijabs or headscarves, and that’s usually a very obvious symbol of our faith. It’s something that is asked of us in the Qur’an and Sunnah and most people follow it. But not everyone and not all the time.

There’s nothing better than wrapping up in a warm and cozy blanket. And when it comes to baby blankets, you want something soft, snuggly, and oh-so-comfy.

Zeke doesn’t really remember how he got turned into a zombie. There’s no apocalypse and everyone else in his family is just fine, but one day Zeke just woke up feeling… different.

He might be a pile of bones now, but Cedric’s still got the moves a...

I really wanted to make a blanket that felt autumnal. I wanted something that reminded me of the crunch of leaves underfoot, the look of colorful tree-lined streets, and the warm smell of cinnamon and apple pies.

With all the toys I make, I tend to have a lot of scraps of bright colors leftover from other projects. So today, I’m using some white yarn and all of my colorful scraps to make a unicorn lovey that works with whatever you have laying around.

Girly baby blankets aren’t something I make very often, but they are so pretty and they feel extra special. Maybe it’s because I tend towards greens and blues and yellows, so working with pinks and purples is different for me, or maybe it’s just because I’ve been making a lot of blankets for little boys lately. Either way, this Lila Blanket is ...

I knew I needed a scarecrow for one of my free Halloween crochet patterns this year, but I wasn’t sure how I wanted him to look.
