If you’ve been a devotee of this column for any length of time, you know that it features designers and companies that are not in the mainstream of crochet. Flip through our pattern pages and you’ll see patterns by incredibly creative designers, but here, in this forum, I present people who are so unusual in what they create that it will, I hope, make you say, “WOW!” Read the full article in our December 2021 issue |

Crocheters are natural planners. Each time you decide to take on a new project, odds are you’re already making a list in your brain’s very detailed yarn catalog of how many scraps you have, how much new yarn you’ll need to buy and how much time this new crochet adventure will take.
If you like to make your own designs, then you’re always experimenting with stitches, sketching concepts and figuring out how to perfect your patterns. Face it, you’re basically a crochet computer. Wouldn’t it be nice to have some help with the “coding of crochet?”
Tanya Johnson has a solution for you. She created The Maker Planner, a planner specifically designed to help crocheters and knitters manage their creative projects. There are several versions of the planner available, for both makers and designers. Inside, you’ll find lists to keep track of your current projects or designs, dot grids for brainstorming and spaces to note all the important details of your newest project.
Basic planners retail for $40. The basic planner for makers can hold up to 72 projects, and the basic version for designers can hold up to 36 designs. Pro versions of the planners are $5 more and contain features like project reflections, 12-month calendars for tracking designs, and a space for setting creative goals.
As a bonus, all planners are eco-friendly and made from recycled materials.
The Maker Planner is perfect for taking the stress away from crocheting by making a design plan ahead of time, so you’re free to enjoy stitching to your heart’s content.
