You’ve arrived at the annual NatCroMo Designer Blog Tour 2022! It’s a virtual celebration of National Crochet Month with new blog content daily throughout March, including featured crochet designers, pattern showcases, free patterns, coupons, discounts, giveaways, and more. This year’s theme is Pawprints on Our Hearts, so we’ll talk about our pets – furry, feathered, and scaly!
Some of the links on this page will earn us a commission if you make a purchase through them. View our disclosure policy for details.
Today’s featured designer on our NatCroMo Designer Blog Tour 2022 is Christine Naugle of Sweet Potato 3. In addition to showcasing some of her crochet patterns, for our theme, Pawprints on Our Hearts, she tells us about her family pet, an English Cream Retriever named George.
We appreciate our NatCroMo designers so much! They’ve so graciously shared their time (and often a special goodie) with us, let’s show some love! Some ways to do that are to like, follow, and shop! ❤️

Christine’s Pets
Tell us about your pets!
Our family dog is an English Cream Retriever named George. We call him King George because he was names after George Straight – yes, we are a family who loves country music. He is a super lazy 3-year-old pup with a very mild temperament. He lives for his daily walks and will do pretty much anything for food. George is my sidekick and can usually be found at (or on) my feet as I am working on my latest crochet design. He is the perfect dog for our family.

What is one of your favorite crochet reference books or websites that is one of your go-to sources for crochet information?
Pam over at the Crochetprenuer has been my most valuable source of information on running a crochet business. She is so knowledgeable in the crochet field, if she doesn’t know the answer, she will direct you where to find it. She has created a community that is fun, interactive and so helpful.
