She reflects on the precious time spent with him and the family's hope and faith, before moving on to a tour of her classroom as she starts a new school year as a teacher.
She then shares several finishes, including the August Word Play by Brenda Jere, finished as a refrigerator magnet, and seasonal pieces from Crochet Go's free patterns, stitched on 32ct fabric. Michelle shows her WIPs, including the full-coverage 'The Bird Cage' by Luca S. and her focus piece 'Let Love Rain' by Teresa Kogut, which she is stitching for her daughter's November wedding.
In a longer segment, Michelle discusses her love of crochet, sharing her history with the craft, from making beaded baby socks to her current projects. These include a stack of doilies from the book '101 Small Doilies' for a bathroom valance, and a 'Hydrangea' blanket inspired by a 10 Strawberry Street mug, using Yarn Bee yarn from Hobby Lobby.
