These darling stash busting totes feature a clever play on words ” ‘stache bustin’ and a hand-drawn mustache made of yarn! This yarn tote is made with high quality thick canvas, so feel free to stuff this bag to the brim with all your crochet and knit essentials. The bag graphic was designed by me, and brought to life by my talented and skilled graphic designer. They are professionally screen-printed at a local shop in Utah.
If you are on my email list, you are probably wondering why my recents emails are peppered with excuses about why the blog has been a bit lacking in patterns and projects lately (“not feeling well” has been a common theme as of late 😂).
I am definitely not one to make excuses about missed deadlines (or do appropriate self-care for that matter), but I will tell you, a few days weeks the last couple months have had me flat on my back (and with my face over the toilet).
But it’s not all bad news…

Introducing an upcoming Crochet Along! Work along as we make this darling Poca the Bear or Poca the Bear Lovey! Both patterns use basic stitches and the color work on the blanket looks deceivingly difficult (its actually very easy!).

It’s been far too long since I have planned a crochet along (CAL). I love seeing the flow of individual flair on the same project and it’s so fun to all work together on the same thing.
This bear has been a very special project for me and has taken me quite some time to perfect. When my son was in the PICU after his accident he was given a teddy bear from a family friend. He loved how floppy the bear’s the arms and legs were and I loved its sweet face. It was special to him, which made it special to me.
Months later, I set out to create a crochet version. It was a lot of trial and error, changing my mind, sending off to testers, changing my mind again, making last minute changes…etc. But it’s finally completed and I am so excited to share it with you. (I even have plans for some fun variations 🥰)
This CAL will be a bit different than the other ones I have done. This pattern will be a premium pattern and will be available in my Ravelry and Etsy shops, however, during the CAL, those who participate will be able to get the pattern parts for free on my blog.
Also, the other difference is the CAL will only be available to my email tribe! If you are interested in joining in the fun, be sure to sign up for my emails.
Psst: There is absolutely no charge to subscribe to my emails! Read all the benefits of becoming part of the Whistle and Ivy Tribe here.
Okay, here are the CAL deets.
Mark you calendars for Monday, March 25th.
Beginning the Monday of March 25, I will send an email on each day of the CAL that contains a link to that day’s part of the CAL. Links will not be shared any other place other than the email, so be sure you whitelist my emails so you don’t miss any. The pattern parts will be available for 7 days after the day it’s released. You can either print the pages to keep the pattern or you can buy the ad-free PDF at the end of the CAL for 50% off my shop price.
