I love the new year. For me, it’s a time of reflection, introspection and prioritizing. I always make a list of specific goals and keep them visible through the whole year. Then, at the beginning of the next year, I analyze how I did. I don’t always hit goals, but sometimes I do! Even though it’s not 100%, I am closer to the kind of person I want to be by shooting for something better than myself each year.
January is also a time to purge. That sweater that I keep telling myself I will wear someday? Off to a thrift store! The junk drawer that I have been avoiding for 365 days? Organized and dejunked!
I also wanted to do some giveaways, specifically getting rid of some yarn from my stash that has been discontinued (I do not like designing with yarn that you can’t find to recreate my projects!).
I didn’t end up purging and much as I would like, but I did find some very pretty things that I wanted to giveaway. Some of this pretty yarn is not actually discontinued, I just wanted to show my appreciation for you!
When you follow along with me, read my emails, share my blog links on social media or comment with words of encouragement and positivity, you are quite literally supporting my blog and my family and I am so SOOOO grateful. Words can’t express my gratitude and I wish I could buy a gift for every single person who has helped make Whistle and Ivy was it is.
So I am settling for 5 giveaways.
What can you win???
PRIZE ONE
1. ONE original Whistle and Ivy “Stache Bustin” Tote. EIGHT skeins of Cotton Paintbox Yarns.
PRIZE TWO
2. ONE Original Whistle and Ivy “Save Needle, Use Hooks” Make-up Pouch. TWO Skeins of DMC Wooly, TWO skeins of Debbie Bliss Eco Baby, TWO Skeins of DMC 100% Baby

Hello October!
And hello to our new guest designer: Julie from ACCROchet.
I had the lucky opportunity to meet Julie at CGOA 2018. This woman is talented, smart and extremely hilarious. I am pretty sure our laughing sessions equaled an insanity ab workout. She is extremely knowledgeable, and it was s fun discussing crochet, yarn and everything else. Julie is a treasure!
Her website is full of fun, unique designs.
Check out her free patterns here.
Check out her premium patterns here.
I’ll let Julie tell you more about herself!
ACCROchet is Julie Desjardins, a bilingual French Canadian crochet designer, who obviously enjoys puns. Julie’s aim is to foster communities that value and recognize the artist’s talent, time, and tools, and that want to surround themselves in those same luxurious elements. My original goal was to bring crochet into its own in my own province. Francophone crocheters had few resources when I came on the scene. That goal has changed and evolved over time, and while I still have a soft spot for my French crocheters & designers, I now aim to be a resource for crocheters everywhere. I do this through classes, workshops, events, designs, translations and mentoring. I work with the best tools of the trade, and encourage others to do the same, to make everyone’s crochet experience ever more enjoyable. I love to discover and teach new techniques, to challenge crocheters of all skill levels, and to promote our beautiful craft. ACCROchet’s focus is now on the beauty of our stitches, the magic we create with beautiful yarn, and that moment of delight when a new completed crochet project enters the world.
As our October Guest Designer, Julie has offered her Quatre Convertible Cowl for you ENDLESS BUNDLE members!
Yay!
You can find the pattern PDF download on the WHAT’S NEW page.
Want a taste of Julie’s style? These are a few of my favorite winter designs of hers:
– MJs Hug Blanket
– Fireside Sweater
– Dobby Socks (best seller!)
– Red Riding Hood
– Three of Hearts Hat
Julie can be found on Ravelry, and I love being in her Facebook group (check it out here), where she shares inspiring projects, videos and crochet funnies!
xoxo,
