The Crochet Crowd, aka Mikey, is hosting two fully booked crochet bus tours in the summer of 2025 called the Nova Scotia Crochet Adventure. Living in Nova Scotia, the ocean isn't far from any point, and the floating buoys and part of the fishing equipment are unique, colourful, and so amazing. These are the Little Buoy Crochet Bags.
The fishing crew usually marks their buoys in the same way to identify them as their own, whether with paint and/or their assigned number.
The Nova Scotia Crochet Adventure is a ticketed event that lasts a week with our full bus tours. This pattern was designed for the crocheters on board. They will be given the pattern and yarn to play with to make their own. Seeing the event and the pattern are paid, as they have spent their money to be part of our adventure.

Non-participants usually ask for the pattern the crocheters are working on. Now you can have it as well.
Retired buoys are usually found in gardens and other applications here in Nova Scotia. They are beautiful, and I love how used they can look, too. Wooden buoys are being retired, and new buoys are made with Styrofoam.
The pattern is an homage to Nova Scotia, a place I have fallen in love with and share with others. The pattern has my signature texture-loving stitches. It uses three Lily Sugar'n Cream Balls, and there is a place to put on a Carabiner Clip added to it so it can attach to a backpack or something else.

I think if you purchase the buoy bag pattern you should have access to the video tutorial. How are we going to learn those cute fancy stitches without a tutorial. Not all of us are able to go on your tours.

I don't have the ability to give a link like that for the downloads that are purchasable. I am working on a brand new website for Christmas 2025 where I might be able to load up a video tutorial like that and have it available. Currently, we are only using YouTube for holding tutorials. The tutorial will be available once the tours go out. I don't want the tour group to jump ahead of me by releasing the tutorials before the tours. So I would plan on Fall before it goes out as there are 2 tours this summer going.
I agree with your thought though. The new website will most likely have a login where I can keep content like that buried unless you purchase. If you have any questions, just ask. If you email me as well, I might be able to do something else to hold you over and get it to your faster but I need to confirm your purchase. 😉 Just put in search Contact Mikey and include your invoice number or name you purchased the pattern from and I can work with that.
