Yarn Friendships, Creative Trades & a Surprise Ice Yarns Haul

  One of my favorite things about being part of the fiber arts community is how crochet can bring together people who might never have crossed paths otherwise.  Through the year, I’ve had the chance to meet so many wonderful makers through Dows Market on Main , and one of those friendships has grown into something really special. Recently, my friend from The Knotty Sisters reached out wanting help learning how to edit long-form YouTube videos . When she asked how she could pay me, I told her she didn’t need to....but fellow yarn people already know how this story ends... She asked: “Can I pay you in yarn?” And honestly… that might be the best payment method ever! A Surprise Ice Yarns Haul As part of our little creative trade, she gifted me several gorgeous colorways of Ice Yarns that fit my personal style perfectly. Since she mainly works with amigurumi (cute crochet critters and characters) and heavier yarns, some of these finer yarns weren’t really her thing - but...

Small-Town Magic at the Dows Corn Days Parade

  Some weekends remind you exactly why you love living in a small town. This year's Dows Corn Days Parade was one of those days. For the first time, The Dows Market on Main was part of the parade, and it couldn't have come together any better. Hayley's uncle, Tony, generously loaned us his beautiful antique Ford truck, a 1941 F1, which became the perfect vintage backdrop for representing the Dows Market on Main. Before parade day, Hayley from hayleyco designs , spent time putting together 300 treat packets to hand out along the route. Each tiny bag included a cute "Barrels of Fun" sticker that Hayley designed to promote the Dows Market on Main Y'allternative Market , along with a classic root beer barrel candy. It was such a fun little combination, and we hoped people would enjoy it as much as she enjoyed making them. Of course, I couldn't leave the truck undecorated! Since our market colors are teal, burnt orange, and cream, I made oversized yarn t...

A Floral Trucker Hat Inspired by A Summer Market

  One of my favorite things about attending local markets is how inspiring they can be creatively. Every event has its own personality, and after spending Saturday at Cedardale Farm Dahlia Mother's Day Market , I came home completely inspired to make something floral, summery, and just a little bit different. So naturally… I grabbed yarn. This latest experiment turned into a crochet floral trucker hat featuring a handmade rosette flower in soft red, white, and blue tones. It has a slightly vintage, cottagecore feel while still giving a subtle patriotic summer vibe... perfect for the Wright County Fair , Festival , The Farmers Market , and all the small-town summer events coming up soon. Inspired by Local Summer Markets This recent market was much smaller and more relaxed than some of the larger event I’d participated in recently, but honestly, that made it really special. I loved meeting other vendors, chatting with shoppers, and soaking in the peaceful atmosphere of the flower f...
