    Mid Autumn Festival Mooncakes

    Celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a beloved holiday across East and Southeast Asia—including China, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. It’s all about family reunions, giving thanks, and enjoying the harvest season. As a Taiwanese-Korean-American, I’ve always looked forward to one thing: mooncakes! These rich, round pastries come with sweet or savory fillings (like mung bean or salted egg yolk) and symbolize unity and togetherness. Pro-tip: they’re best enjoyed in small bites with a warm cup of tea! – Amy (@curiouspapaya)   MATERIALS:…

    Giant Strawberry Crochet Pattern

    Hello! It’s Amy from @curiouspapaya and this month is all about the strawbs.

Here’s a super easy/fun make for everyone prepping for their upcoming markets. This pattern contains modifications so that you can use any yarn to make it. With thinner yarn, it’ll come out a little shorter and squat-er. And that’s the fun part! Strawberries come in all different shapes and sizes. No matter what you…
