Hi! Welcome!

Hooks Books & Wanderlust

Hi! I'm Kristen, a wife, a mom to two boys, and a breast cancer survivor. I'm passionate about crafting, particularly crochet, reading, and traveling. I love baking and only cook out of necessity. I learned to sew when I was around 9 years old but it's not my favorite thing to do. I love plants, but am not so great at growing them. I can't wait to share my adventures with you! *Gravatar Photo Cred: Sunflower Life Photography

Just finished up this oatmeal tweed beauty, with the cute little black hearts and faux fur pom, and it’s ready to ship to its forever home. ⠀⠀ I am so honored when I’m asked to create something for someone. That they like my work and believe in me and my skills to create something just for them means the world to me. Please know how much joy and love goes into each stitch, and how grateful my heart is that I get paid to do something I love. It is truly a dream come true. ⠀⠀ #madewithlove #dreamcometrue #blackandwhite #giftideas #crochet #fiberarts #iloveyarn #crochettexture #handmade #crochetersofig #crochetgirlgang #yarnaddict #yarnlove #crochetcrew #yarnaholic #ganchillo #ourmakerlife #hooksbooksandwanderlust #crochetblog #crochetblogger #indiecrochet #indiedesigner #etsy #cistl #stlouis #stlouismo #ipreview via @preview.app

It’s pumpkins on repeat over here. I released some stitch tutorials the last few days on the blog getting ready for the release of my FREE crochet pumpkin pattern and tutorial today! 😁 It seemed like everyone and their momma was putting out patterns, so I wanted to put one out too! It is written for worsted weight yarn, but gives recipe style notes so you can make any shape and size you want with any yarn or hook! 🙌🏻 ⠀⠀ Head to the blog (link in my bio) to start making yours! Did I mention this is a great scrap buster pattern?! You could make a colorful pumpkin patch! Or gift one to a neighbor or a friend! ⠀⠀ As always, the pattern is FREE on the blog with links to photo tutorials for special stitches, or you can snag a printable version complete with pattern AND all three special stitch tutorials, available in my #Etsy or #Ravelry stores! ⠀⠀ #pumpkins #fall #crochettutorial #crochetpattern #crochet #fiberarts #iloveyarn #crochettexture #handmade #crochetersofig #crochetgirlgang #yarnaddict #yarnlove #crochetcrew #yarnaholic #ganchillo #ourmakerlife #hooksbooksandwanderlust #crochetblog #crochetblogger #indiecrochet #indiedesigner #etsy #stlouis #stlouismo #ipreview via @preview.app

Is after 7pm on a Saturday too late to post? Well, dang, I’m going to do it anyway, as time got away from me today. My youngest, who was home from school Wednesday and Thursday with fever and lethargy turned out to manifest chicken pox this afternoon. The timing was pretty ironic since he was due to get his next dose of the chicken pox vaccine this coming Friday. 🤪 ⠀⠀ ANYwho, I wrote up a quick pattern and tutorial for the cute lil punkins I’ve been making. How cute is this newest lil one that fits in the palm of my hand! I’ve been seeing so many cute ones coming out, I just had to add my own to the mix! ⠀⠀ Keep your eyes peeled for the release on Monday! 🎃🙌🏻 ⠀⠀ Meanwhile, I’ll just be over here working on writing up that Alpine Dreams Beanie pattern from one post back 🏔 🌲 ☁️ ⠀⠀ #fall #pumpkins #crochetpumpkin #crochetpattern #freecrochetpattern #ohheyfall #homedecor #diy #crochet #fiberarts #iloveyarn #crochettexture #handmade #crochetersofig #crochetgirlgang #yarnaddict #yarnlove #crochetcrew #yarnaholic #ganchillo #ourmakerlife #hooksbooksandwanderlust #crochetblog #crochetblogger #indiecrochet #indiedesigner #stlouis #stlouismo #ipreview via @preview.app

Remember that yummy textured hat I teased a couple posts back? I finished it, and then another slouchy version and now I’m thinking about a bulky yarn version using LB Scarfie. I’m just loving the texture, and I can’t wait to see how it works up with the ombré effect of the Scarfie yarn. ⠀⠀ The idea for this beanie came to me from my summer trip to Glacier National Park. We were on our way to Logan Pass on the Going-To-The-Sun Road, and the morning was super cloudy, with tufts of white surrounding the peaks, and those alpine firs. Not to mention, if you’re in that area, you’ll definitely need a hat for the trek! And since Montana recently had its first fall snow, I figured the fairy lights, and small snowflake confetti were appropriate. ✨❄️✨❄️ It’ll be here before we know it! ⠀⠀ Pattern: Alpine Dreams by me coming soon ⠀⠀ #crochet #fiberarts #iloveyarn #crochettexture #handmade #crochetersofig #crochetgirlgang #yarnaddict #yarnlove #crochetcrew #yarnaholic #ganchillo #ourmakerlife #hooksbooksandwanderlust #crochetblog #crochetblogger #indiecrochet #indiedesigner #etsy #cistl #stlouis #stlouismo

Today, my youngest turns 5, a whole hand 🖐🏻! We celebrated this past weekend with friends and family and a Batman themed birthday. ⠀⠀ You may not know this about me, but I LOVE throwing themed parties. LOVE. IT. So when Mr. J told me he wanted a Batman theme, I made a Pinterest board, and got to planning. If you’d like to see full party details, I wrote a blog post about it today! Swipe to see some of the fun I created for my lil guy using my @officialcricut #exploreairtwo, which was essential in getting everything from banners to treat bags done. ⠀⠀ And a very happy birthday to my baby boy who’s not such a baby anymore! ⠀⠀ #cricut #batman #batmanbirthday #birthdayparty #kidsbirthday #iambatmom #batmanbirthdayparty #papercrafts #hooksbooksandwanderlust #stlouis #stlouismo #ipreview via @preview.app
