LEARN HOW TO CROCHET A CARDIGAN THAT FITS: crochet-a-long now happening in the Crochet Lounge.
The Crochet Lounge is a supportive crochet community that’s full of crochet ideas, help and the motivation to finish off projects.
Whether you want to watch the weekly Studio Chat videos, delve into the pattern library or be part of a vibrant community of crocheters, it’s a wonderful online space that’s encouraging and not at all competitive. It’s easy to cancel via your Homelea Lass account too.
Learn how to crochet a cardigan that fits.
Running until 29th June 2025, the Cardigan Along is a relaxed, go at your own pace crochet-a-long. We’re going through the Crochet a Cardigan online course, and there are bonus Help Sessions throughout the week so you can get help from a real person. The best part of crochet-a-longs is the community of crocheters that are making the same thing. It’s great to share advice and see what everyone else is making!
Successfully crocheting a cardigan (or any other garment) as we step through:
- pattern – choosing and understanding
- measuring and sizing
- yarn, hook, tools and notions
- swatching
- crocheting
- washing and blocking
- what to make next
Make your first cardigan, or enjoy this easy-to-follow-process if you’ve already delved into the world of garment crocheting.
(Supporter, Maker & VIP members will have access to the included online course during the Cardigan Along, and only Maker & VIP members will have access afterwards.)
There’s a lot included in a Crochet Lounge membership, and how involved you are is up to you.
Some people are really active in the group, and others pop in every couple of months. It’s a lovely crochet community that’s supportive and encouraging. It’s definitely not competitive and it’s not judgemental.
The first step is to join by purchasing a Crochet Lounge membership. There are 3 different membership types that include different things (VIP includes everything, Maker includes some and Supporter has a few inclusions).
After purchasing a membership, you’re able to log into the Crochet Lounge part of the website and there’s a guide that explains all the parts of the Crochet Lounge and how to use them. As a new member this is a good place to start.
Changing and cancelling the membership is easy to do online through My Account or I can do this for you. A reminder email is sent 2 days before the membership renews, and you’re able to set it to renew automatically or manually.
Some of the key parts of the Crochet Lounge are:
- discussions: these for sharing patterns, asking questions and getting help, plus show and tell for what’s being made
- studio chats: each Monday I record and release a new Studio Chat which is like a crochet video podcast, and an email is sent out when it’s available to watch (see what a Studio Chat is like here)
- zoom meet-ups: happen on the first Sunday of each month which is a relaxed hour-long chat between some of the members (generally it’s about 4 – 6 people)
- crochet-a-longs: these are optional activity and are generally a mini group of about 10 people making the same thing. During the crochet-a-longs it’s possible to book a short help session with me and there’s help available anytime in the mini group.
- more good things: depending on the membership level, there’s access to all the Homelea Lass patterns, discounts and free shipping in the Yarn Store plus unlimited crochet lessons with me
It’s probably worth mentioning that the Crochet Lounge is social-media-free and it all happens on the Homelea Lass website, there’s no separately Facebook group any more. This was an upgrade that happened at the end of 2024 and it feels good to be away from the pressure of social media. It’s a calm online space that’s a joy to be in.
Does this answer your questions about how the Crochet Lounge Memberships work? If not, ask me all your questions over here.
I’m grateful to everyone with a Crochet Lounge membership.
They’re helping to keep Homelea Lass alive. The price of everything keeps increasing for my tiny business and it’s been impacted by the cost of living crisis. If you are inspired by what I crochet, love reading my emails or enjoy making my patterns, then a supporter membership to the Crochet Lounge helps me to keep doing this.
I’d love to welcome you into the Crochet Lounge!
With love, Lynda.

If I join as a Maker does that mean that I can get access to the pattern and course, or do I have to pay for the course?
Both the Maker and VIP memberships include access to the entire pattern and course, including all the video tutorials. This is for all the patterns in the Crochet Pattern Library.
-
Are the VIP Crochet Lessons for any pattern, or just the Homelea Lass patterns?
The Crochet Lessons that are part of the VIP memberships are to get help with any crochet pattern or technique. You’re able to book as many lessons as you like each month, and they’re easy to book online.
-
When are the member zooms on?
Join in with the hour long member meet-ups on zoom each month to be inspired by other members and chat all things crocheting.
The zooms are live (not recorded) are on the first Sunday of the month at 3pm QLD time, 4pm NSW / ACT / VIC / TAS daylight saving time, 2:30pm NT time, 3:30pm SA daylight saving time, 5am London time, 12 midnight New York time.
-
Why get a VIP membership over a Maker membership?
The Maker membership is the most popular. The advantage of the VIP membership over the Maker membership is 25% off in my online shop, unlimited zoom crochet lessons to help with any pattern, and first access to new kits and products.
-
How do I get one-on-one help with my crocheting?
VIP memberships include a Crochet Help Session with me each month on Zoom. In these 30 minute sessions I’ll help you with any crochet pattern and they’re easy to book online (just so you know, they do expire at the end of your membership month).
This is the only way to get individual in-person help from me and you also have the option to book more sessions (they’re $50 for 30 minutes).

Kathy Jarrett (lovely Homelea Lass customer) –
Absolutely love my membership. Every week’s studio chat gives me so much inspiration. As a new beginner to crochet and all things yarn, Lynda’s instructions, videos and patterns are so easy to follow and her explanations are very thorough. Lynda is always quick to respond to queries and her products are just beautiful. My membership is a great way to help achieve so many of the things on my wish list.
Lisa Fitzpatrick (lovely Homelea Lass customer) –
I do enjoy being a part of the Homelealass community. Crocheting has become one of my greatest self-care activities, spurred by the weekly Studio Chat. The studio chats have encouraged me to explore more than scarf-making!
I am looking forward to the Patch Blanket crochet-a-long. Thank you Lynda for being a bright spot in the week.
Jennifer Fryer (lovely Homelea Lass customer) –
My Homelealass membership is a gift to myself. My crochet expertise has increased as has my confidence with Lynda’s guidance and inspiration. I look forward to the cheery, informative weekly studio chats and have learnt a lot as part of the make alongs. My favourite part of the membership is the supportive community aspect especially the fun weekly zooms. Lynda’s calm, no pressure approach that recognises life happens teamed with very clear written and video support for her patterns, allows me to achieve at my own pace.
I can’t recommended it highly enough.
Jenni Schrapel (lovely Homelea Lass customer) –
I love being part of the Homelea Lass community and the Homelea Lass memberships are fantastic. Lynda’s patterns and videos are easy to follow and she is such a beautiful soul. The studio chats are so informative and inspiring. You won’t regret joining the Homelea Lass family.
Cheryl Burridge (lovely Homelea Lass customer) –
I really enjoy my Homelea Lass membership with all these wonderful crochet patterns and videos to keep my crafty side creating amazing things. I think Lynda does a wonderful job, inspiring and creating really nice crochet items. I love the big chunky yarn and all the colours available. Best of all, an Australian business.
Pippa Robinson (lovely Homelea Lass customer) –
I found Homelea Lass when I was looking for ethically produced Australian yarn to inspire me to do something creative and start crocheting again. In addition, I discovered a supportive group which is great for someone like me who mainly learned from books. I appreciate Lynda’s gentle, encouraging approach and enjoy the weekly studio chats and zoom catchups and hearing about the baby farm animals as an added bonus!

Haven’t had a chance to use as yet but can’t wait to chat and get help when I need.
