Welcome to DesigningVashti.com. I’m Vashti Braha (wearing Fishlips Shrug at a yarn conference). Need help? Find a broken link? Email me directly. You’re at the home base for my in-depth crochet classes, intrepid newsletter, long-running blog, and crochet shop of over 100 items–just scroll down this page. (Please note that the shop’s former URL was www.shop.designingvashti.com/. Its permanent URL is now https://www.designingvashti.com/.)

In the shop you’ll find: Doris Chan’s exclusive DJC pattern line, my own indie patterns, and the complete line of Jelly Yarn®. We always order direct from the manufacturer, person to person. It’s always nice to connect, plus it also safeguards against counterfeits and inflated costs. As always, shipping is free in the USA. Shopping is certified secure.

2025 News

Hi Folks! Although I’ve been quiet on social media and here at my website, I’ve been creating new crochet stitches, techniques, patterns, and classes while living in a mountain retreat for the past four years.

I’m preparing to share it all in a deluxe rollout while also preparing for a big move. It’s due to this move that I’ve deactivated the crochet hooks section of my shop.

Below you can see and click on one of the four active sections of the shop.
