At the end of each year, I like to reflect on what I’ve accomplished as well as changes I’d like to make in the following year. As part of reflection, I looked through my blog statistics to find my most popular free crochet patterns released in 2015, and I’m sharing those with you today.

I love all the patterns, but my favorite is #8 Ella’s Rhythm Shawl. I love that beautiful blue color and simple lacy /airy look.
Thanks so much, Erangi! That means a lot to me, coming from you, since you have so many lovely lace designs.
Thank you to all of you for sharing these beautiful patterns with us.
Someday I hope to be such a talented crocheter as you. Not sure I could be a designer. Not sure how to even begin that process.
Thanks for your kind words, Michelle! If you ever do become interested in designing, let me know and I’ll be happy to share some tips for getting started.
