I hope your needles and yarn are at the ready—because it’s time to cast on the first piece of our Mystery Make-Along! I won’t be sharing any spoiler-y details here (trying to keep the mystery alive!), but as time goes by a WIP pic or two might slip in.

One question that popped up during sign-ups: Do you need social media to participate? Definitely not. While I do post updates on Instagram (you can find me @1MoreRowDesigns and LBY @LionBrandYarn), you don’t need to be on social to be part of the fun. You’re welcome to join the conversation right here—leave a comment, post a photo, and check out what your fellow knitters are working on!

If you haven’t already, be sure to sign up for Lion Brand Yarn emails HERE. We’ll be sending out a few email roundups during the MAL, featuring photos and progress from makers just like you. Want to be included? Just tag your photo #SHAREMYLBY in the blog comments or on social media.

That’s it for now! Be kind, have fun, and take it one stitch at a time. And if you need help, don’t hesitate to reach out—email me anytime at 1MoreRowDesigns@gmail.com. I’ll likely see your message faster than a blog comment.

Let’s make something beautiful—together.

I hope your hooks and yarn are ready–because we’re kicking off the first piece of the Mystery Make-Along pattern! I won’t be dropping any spoilers here (I’m trying to be good!), but as the days go by I may come back and start posting some WIP pics. So be careful when you scroll!

One question I’ve gotten a lot since sign-ups opened: Do you need social media to participate? Absolutely not. I do hang out on Instagram (find me @1MoreRowDesigns and of course LBY @LionBrandYarn), but if you prefer to stay off the apps you’re still 100% welcome here! Feel free to comment below, share you Ravelry projects, ask questions, or just browse and be inspired by your fellow makers.

Want to stay in the loop with Lion Brand Yarn? Make sure you’re signed up for their emails right HERE. Throughout the MAL, you’ll get fun roundups featuring YOUR progress pics. If you want a chance to have your photo included, just hashtag it #SHAREMYLBY in your comments, email, social, etc.

That’s it for now–be kind, have fun, and don’t stress over the stitches. And remember: if you ever need a hand, you can always reach out to me directly at 1MoreRowDesigns@gmail.com. I’ll probably spot your email faster than a blog comment.

Now let’s make something beautiful–together!

The post Tide & Texture Crochet Wrap: Week 1 appeared first on Lion Brand Notebook.

With nearly 200 project entries from makers all over the world, this contest showcased the incredible ways DIY Glow Yarn can bring projects to life—day or night! From glowing accessories to illuminated amigurumi, your creativity truly shined.

Now, let’s meet our winners!

Fan Favorite Winner: Stephanie P. of @crochetverse

Stephanie freehand crocheted an incredible Ghostrunner helmet for her son using DIY Glow Cozy Yarn. The attention to detail, craftsmanship, and dedication to bringing this design to life make this a standout piece. No wonder it won the most community votes!

Made with DIY Glow Cozy Yarn

Second Place: Lacie M. of @crochetinthesky

Lacie submitted multiple glowing projects for this contest, but her DIY Glow Chenille frog hopped straight into our hearts!

The softness of the yarn, combined with the way it glows, makes this project absolutely magical.

“What a fun way to use this amazing yarn. So many of us (creators) are following each other now and making new friends!”

– Lacie @crochetinthesky

Original Pattern: Peace Frog by Christine Anne Melvin.

Made with DIY Glow Chenille Yarn

Grand Prize Winner – $2,500: Vanessa A. of @loveplantsandcrochet

Vanessa’s glowing crochet astronaut, made with DIY Glow Cozy Yarn truly took this contest to another level.

What makes this win even more special? Vanessa only started crocheting in November 2024! Their creativity and skill in crafting such a detailed and eye-catching piece in just a few months is nothing short of inspiring.

“I can’t express how excited I am about being selected as 1st place winner, especially because I’m still new at crocheting. I made the astronaut to gift it to a dear friend’s son who loves space and I came up with the idea of adding some glow in the dark details to make it more fun. 

I then saw the opportunity to showcase this project in the Show us your glow contest but never imagined I could win, after looking at all the great artwork from experienced crocheters. It makes me proud of myself and also gives me the confidence and motivation to do more challenging projects!!”

Vanessa @loveplantsandcrochet

8:30 am Photoshoot Fuel – I stop for coffee and pick up water and donuts for the team to start the day. I can never start a photoshoot day without a coffee and a donut.

Oh! And before we get started you have to meet the team! Francis LaMonica is our amazing Photographer, pretty much every photo you see on our website was taken by him. Mallory Giordano is our amazing Design Assistant. She helps to request garments from our army of makers and bring the photoshoots to life. They are both extremely important parts of the team and we wouldn’t have inspiration to share without them!

9:30 am CALL TIME – I arrive at the photoshoot location around 9:30 with Francis and Mallory. This allows for us to have some time in the morning to gather garments, set up lighting, figure out the order of shots for the day, etc.

9:45 am Setting Up – We walk around the studio to find the best lighting and backgrounds for photos! This tends to be the slowest part of the day because as soon as the model arrives we will be in execution mode trying to shoot as many new garments as we can.

10 am Model Arrival – Our model arrives around 10 – 30 minutes after we arrived giving us time to continue setting up each shot.

10 am-10:30am Last Chance To Sit Down- We give our model 20-30 minutes to settle in. We try not to use makeup artists and stylists to give the most realistic, relatable appearance in our photos. We always ask our models to bring their own clothing and look how they feel their best so that comes across in the photography we take.

11 am Shoot Shoot Shoot! – We shoot a new garment every 15 minutes or so. For each garment, we strive for a full-body photo to see the garment with the full outfit, a closeup so you can see the textures, and an ultra closeup for detail. We think this gives our makers the most comprehensive look to help make better-informed decisions on what they want to make.

12 am Break For Lunch – While we all like to eat healthy once in a while, we splurge on the finest fast food the area we are in has to offer. Cheeseburgers and fries for the win!

1pm: Back To It – We continue to shoot various garments and home decor until we drop – literally.

Shoot days are the most exhausting days because you need to make sure you are paying attention to all details and get the most out of the location and model.

4 pm IT’S A WRAP! – The day is over around 4pm! We say goodbye to the model, clean up our space so we leave it as we got it, and pack up garments.

The next steps after shoot day will be crucial – editing the photos, matching them up to their pattern numbers, and finally, posting them online for everyone to make!!
