It's Time for a Crochet Wardrobe Refresh Yes, we know. It's just the first of September. But we are big fans of Fall and the temps have been down in the 50's here at night so we're calling it. Fall wardrobe refresh season is here! Even though the daytime temps prevent us from wrapping up in cozy layers, we all know it takes a bit of time to gather the materials and actually make new crochet garments sooooo… no time like the present to get started! For this season, we present four new crochet patterns that range from light and layerable to downright cozy. Here's a quick look at all four. Click through the photos for a more detailed look at the sizing and materials specs.
More Than Just a Gender-Inclusive Design It may look like just a crochet pullover to you, but, for us, it is a statement of power. A statement of independence from the arbitrary binary masculine roles we were taught to play out our entire lives.
For years, we have tried to break out of the arbitrary gender binary with our design work but, according to the folx paying for our work, non-gendered or uni-sex designs just wouldn’t work for their magazine/yarn/books. So, all of those designs we gendered according to the arbitrary binary and published as such. To be clear, working for other companies in the fiber arts industry barely pays the bills and selling your work on your own even less so. So we justified it all by saying that we just had to do what we had to do to pay the bills. Once again, we swallowed our pride and learned our lessons… and we did the work to pay the bills. After a while, paying the bills and building a business become the norm and we learned your lessons so well that we forgotten who we set out to be. That realization was, again… a kick in the gut.
While a pink and black crochet pullover with a non-binary name might not seem like that big of a deal to a lot of folx, for us, it was a triumph in our own journey to realize who we really were as designers and as humans. It was the first monumental step that shook the foundations of our lives and put us on a path that we’ve been trying to get back to for a very long, exhausting time. For me, Shannon, it was a sigh of relief that I no longer had to hide who I was. And I’m telling you, seeing my husband, Jason, proudly wearing that pullover on the stage at a large national fiber arts event was one of the most life affirming events of my 50+ years on this planet. Plus… he looks really good in it… don’t ya think? Yeah the leather pants don’t hurt at all. Photos of Jason on stage taken by the talented Kellie Nuss Photography used with permission. Yarn is Blue Moon Fiber Arts… we know… it's pretty amazing! 2022 Update: Jason still looks just as good in this pullover and his leather pants (just sayin') and I, Shannon, have continued my gender identity journey. My transition will be an ongoing process for the rest of my life and I am unlearning those lessons… both of us are. My pronouns are she/her and I am a proud transgender woman married to an amazing man who looks great in leather pants.

How to Care for a Soakworthy Handmade Garment with Soak!
We have a lot of handmade items... I mean, a LOT. Many of these are able to be washed in our washing machine - some on regular, others on hand wash or delicate cycles. Others need a little more care. Heirloom quilts, boro'd bags & jackets, and crochet and knit garments and accessories fall into the second category. In fact, the garment you are going to see us cleaning in this video is very special to us… you'll see why in the video.
We get asked the question often by readers and students: "How do I clean my handmade items?" So, we decided to make a quick video to show you how we do it here in the studio... with Soak Wash, a rinse-free wash that comes in a lot of FAB fragrances as well as scentless. We certainly have OUR favorite scents… mmmmm… pineapples… Big News From The ShibaguyzWe LOVE good tools. Being crafters, the difference between a good tool and a bad one is the same as getting the job done, and getting it done right! From yarn, to hooks, to lighting we look for the highest quality tools to use in our studio. They are an essential part of our studio as much as any other crocheter, knitter, sewer, weaver... maker in general. It is in that light that we want to share with you some THRILLING news. We have just signed on to be national ambassadors for Clover-USA. Through the years we've had the good fortune to be able to work with some of the best names in the crafting world. We're obviously suckers for a well designed craft tool, and have been working with Clover tools for many years now; not just their crochet hooks, which we use exclusively here in the studio as well as in our classrooms, but all their tools. Clover is a brand that covers everything we do... from crochet and knitting, to hand sewing, to quilting and appliqué. It's always a pleasure to find a company that produces great products for something we do... hooks, needles, sewing supplies, etc. But finding one with ALL those tools, and having that all those tools easily available to the masses is rare. We were overjoyed to be able to join forces with Clover. Our friends at Clover put it this way: "If you have one plutonium rod you have one plutonium rod. If you have two plutonium rods you have nuclear fusion. If you have Clover you just have Clover. If you have Clover and the Shibaguyz you have magic. Clover is so happy to have joined into a creative, even magic, partnership with the Shibaguyz." Coming soon on our website as well as social media channels we will be showcasing some of our favorite products and showing you how to use them in your daily lives. Stay tuned for that!

We all know what happens when we use those instructions that say "chain 3, count as first stitch of row." Yeah… the result is a wonky edge that looks like it's been gnawed on by a rabid wombat… or two. Not a good look… just sayin'… This week is all about Standing First-Stitches. Standing stitches are appropriately named because they can stand on their own without being attached to a chain-up at the beginning of a row or to a previous stitch in the middle of a row of stitches. Because of the unique way they are constructed, standing stitches are invaluable when used as first stitches when you are starting a new ball of yarn, a new color, or when you are starting a new section of a garment that is not attached to the section next to it. Anywhere you need to start a new stitch that isn’t attached to your current yarn or work, use a standing stitch! The key to making a successful standing stitch is the way you wrap the yarn around your hook to make the head of the stitch… so let's start there. Crochet Wrapped First-Stitches
This week, we're giving you all another option for the first stitches of a crochet row: the Wrapped First-Stitch. Wrapped first stitches start by using chain-ups to achieve the height needed for the next row of stitches then you work a slick little wrap around and a yarn under to put the loops on your hook. Yup… a yarn UNDER… more on that below. The result is a little thicker than a linked first-stitch and is definitely thicker than a regular double crochet stitch. But, with the right weight of yarn and hook size, this could be a viable option for you in a future project. As with all of these techniques, be sure to use your practice swatch to determine what works best for the crochet fabric you are making for your project. One more reason to swatch that keeps you from having an unfortunate mess later on.
In the end, you will have a sturdy stitch that stands up well to sewing and adding on a border and it certainly eliminates the gaps from those chained first stitches… ACK! After you try this one, leave a comment and let us know what you think. And, if you like this one, share it with your friends and on social media… just tag us with @Shibaguyz so we know you like it! Alrighty then… here we go! Crochet Linked First-Stitches
The Steps To Making A Linked First-dc:
Pull loop on hook up to slightly taller than a normal loop, ch 1, insert hook in first chain from hook, yo and draw up a loop (2 loops on hook), insert hook into first st, yo and draw up a loop (3 loops on hook), [yo and draw through 2 loops on hook] 2 times.
Now, we did say that all four of the first-stitch techniques have their use and that you should use them where fit best as determined by your practice swatch you make before starting a project. That said… linked first-stitches is the technique we go to more often that the others when it comes to making a neat, clean, tidy border on your crochet fabric. Not only does it look FAB when left as a raw edge, but is is SOOOOO easy to work into when sewing seams or picking up stitches for an edging or an accent band of stitches. In addition, linked first-stitches work WAY better than other first-stitch techniques when it comes to taller stitches… more on that at the end of this tutorial.
So, without further ado, here is the step-by-step tutorial for making the Linked First-Double Crochet stitch. Stacked First-Stitches - Your gateway to crochet First-StitchesRather than pulling out large clumps of hair or screaming and ranting so that the Shibakidz go running for the hills, we set out on a quest of experimentation that lead us to a happy place full of unicorns, rainbows, cheesecake, chocolate, puppies... and straight edges (mmmm… chocolate cheesecake). We call this land, The Land of First-Stitches. (But let's get back to the chocolate and cheesecake thing soon…) In order to reach this blissful place of non-wonkiness, we’ve developed a series of stitches we call First-Stitches designed to clean up those edges by replacing the chain ups at the beginnings of rows. In fact, we’ve come up with FOUR different options for first-stitches that we will be sharing with you over the next few weeks starting today! WOOHOO!! In today’s tutorial we'll focus on the first of these 4 First-Stitch techniques: The Stacked First-Stitch.
Wonky edges occur when a row of pattern instruction starts with a chain-up that is meant to be counted as the first stitch of the row: Chain 3, count as first double crochet of row. Because of how chain stitches sit on the outside of the fabric, these chain substitutes for the first stitch of a row create an unsightly gap where the first stitch should be. We hate that... I mean, REALLY hate that. And, from your emails and questions in classes, we know you're not particularly fond of wonky edges either. The outrage is totally understandable! We spend days/weeks/months working on the perfect crochet fabric; only to have the edges betray us. And don't even get us started on the difficulties these wonky edges create when sewing garment components together. Nope… not gonna go there right now because we're watching our blood pressure.
Breathe in… breathe out… No More Wonky Crochet Edges! |
We've wanted to do a duster like this for a long time… we've just been waiting for the right opportunity to come along. So, when the folks at Interweave Crochet put out the call for Fall designs with a retro vibe, we were all over it! The result: the Dream On Duster crochet pattern by Shibaguyz Design in the Fall 2017 issue of Interweave Crochet magazine. Even without the flower power styling and vintage, polaroid-style photography, it is easy to see where the influence for this design came from. We blended classic crochet techniques with modern design elements to create a crochet design that y'all are not going to want to miss out on. |
Two new designz in the Fall 2017 issue of
Love of Crochet Magazine
We don't know about you all but, after a long, hot Seattle summer, we are ready for some crisp fall air. Walks through the falling leaves… nights cool enough to actually sleep… Yeah. That. We do love cooler weather and we have two new designs in the Fall 2017 issue of Love of Crochet magazine to make sure you greet this fall in style.
The Gathered Shoulder Top from Crochet Geometry
Sometimes you just want to make something beautiful without worrying too much about… ya know… thinking! Sometimes you just want to pick up a beautiful yarn, make a pretty stitch, and wear it. Scarves? Wraps? Yup… been there done that. How about something a little more special?
That's the exact thought process that led us to create the Gathered Shoulder Top in our latest book, Crochet Geometry. And, yes, if you have only made scarves, afghans, and dishcloths before, you can make this simple, yet elegant, top.

Inside The Designz: Synchronicity
Shannon asked me to put together this week's Inside The Designz post a couple of days ago. To help spur my though process into settling on an idea about which to write I opened up my Lightroom program where I keep the photos from the shoots we did for Crochet Geometry and started flipping through pictures. It did not take me very long to decide what I wanted to write about: Synchronicity. Sometimes the elements of a design, a photoshoot, and a project as a whole all come together in what is, at times, an unexpected way. Often it's something small that let's you know everything is working together for a FAB outcome. Take a look at the following photos and see if you notice anything connecting the pictures.
New crochet pattern just in time for warmer weather!
Every now and then we set out to design a piece for a magazine that at first seems like a simple, yet elegant, garment; but, through the design process, turns into something very special. This dolman sleeve cardi is one of those pieces.
The Conch Cardigan, seen in the Summer 2017 edition of Interweave Crochet, was created as the perfect, versatile wardrobe layering piece. Constructed from lightweight yarn with a lace panel in the back, it will keep you warm on cool days without getting too hot in the sun which means you can wear this FAB piece all Summer and well into the Fall months. We LOVED designing this piece! The "Evolving V Stitch" stitch pattern keeps the interest and makes for a fun stitching experience. The cardi is made from Cascade Yarns Heritage Silk, constructed in only 3 piece:, one back and two fronts (the sleeves being part of each of those pieces). Seaming is a such simple process for this garment! Four seams and your garment is ready to wear. Because we have a great relationship with them, the FAB folks at Interweave provided a few extra photos of this garment that did not make it into the magazine... but looked so go that we just HAD to post them. We hope you love this piece as much as we do! |
You can pick up this pattern in the Summer 2017 issue of Interweave Crochet. Another great thing about this pattern... Interweave is letting us include sizing for a wider range now so whether you are a Small or a 5X you can still make this FAB cardigan to add to your wardrobe.

The Evolution Of A Concept
Several years ago when we were first talking about jumping into this new phase of our lives, Shannon started working on a few designs and began experimenting with some concepts that he had banging around in his brain. Some of those early designs became our first published magazine and book designs, but one in particular seemed to take hold of him and wouldn't let go.

Inside The Designz for National Crochet Month:
The Macramé Look Vest
Shannon spent many long hours designing the Macrame Look Vest for Crochet Geometry so photographing it was no small order. We knew the photos of this piece would either make or break it. We both felt that photographing this garment in an urban environment was a must... one of those occasions where both of our visions played out the same. We both also pictured the same model for the shoot, Andrea. We've used Andrea for a number of years and she has that approachable friendly appeal that we thought would really pull the viewer into the photo with her. So we called her up and set up a date for an early morning shoot just down the street from her downtown apartment. | |
