It's a new year of crochet stitch-alongs with exciting new skill-building opportunities. What's coming ahead? Almost the entire year is unknown, but as plans materialize, this article will be updated with more details.
Remember, the point of stitch-along is not a race but a stitching journey together as a community. Don't get hung up on speed, as speed isn't everything. It's how you feel when you crochet.

Yarnspirations Summer Stitch Along
As always, there will be a summer stitch-along with our friends at Yarnspirations. I haven't designed it yet, and I'm unsure how to approach it. After the past several stitch-alongs, maybe it's time for a round or even a rectangle stitch-along.
I'm open to ideas for possible several-part tutorials for a stitch-along for 2024. Leave me a comment below in this blog if you have any ideas.

The spring stitch alongs are controlled by Yarnspirations. You could always email them. They are working on Spring now actually for 2025. They work that far in advance. I don't have any control on that but they listen to the customers if you are wanting this. They do take it into consideration.

I hope this is ok to post. Just wanted to say thank you for all you do. I have an idea for a pattern/CAL/stash busting. I have a rather larger stash of yarn and a king size bed. After doing some research I have decided to use the summer blues pattern and the texture world pattern as a start to gobble up some of my yarn. I have scaled it down and adjusted gauge to work. Ill may add a few other patterns as I go and then eventually repeat the patterns. Please use this idea as wanted as the patterns I am working from are yours.
Thanks again
