Meet Samantha

Howdy crafter!

I’m Samantha Brunson, the creator behind Bobble Club House, a self-proclaimed elderly millennial, teacher, storyteller, and maker who loves sharing the joy of crafting with the world.

I spent years running around New York’s Garment District as a knitwear sample maker for fashion houses including Donna Karan, Maggy London, and Bliss Lau, creating handmade pieces for runway shows, before starting my first company, SOSA Knitwear, in 2014, creating intricate handmade knitwear and crochet for designers’ couture and ready-to-wear collections.

Somewhere in the middle of all those long hours, I lost touch with the parts of myself that just wanted to play with glitter and glue all day.

Knitting pulled me out of my burnout, and that reset is what led me to launch Bobble Club House. I haven’t looked back since.

Today, alongside running this site, I write a knitting and DIY column for Modern Daily Knitting, design yarn kits in collaboration with Lion Brand Yarn, and host the Knitflix & Chill podcast. Alongside all of this, I’ve also spent close to ten years in marketing, first as a social media manager for brands, and now as the founder of Yes & Social LLC, helping other brands find their voice.

Thank you for stepping into my yarn filled world!

What I’m Crushing on this Month…

Kiawah Sweater (crochet pattern)

The Kiawah Sweater is about to become your favorite grab-and-go pullover. Inspired by old photos of my Gamma and Poppy, each pictured wearing irregular stripes, plus one photo of me as a baby in a little pink striped onesie, this sweater combines all three into one cozy, meaningful design. The result is a relaxed pullover that plays with stripes in a fun and unexpected way, mixing varying widths and colors around the body to keep things interesting from the very first round to the last.

This sample was made using the delicious DK Yarn from The Wandering Flock.

The Rhinebeck Morning Shawl (crochet pattern)

This generous wrap combines multiple Knit Collage yarns for a textured, colorful statement piece that’s perfect for festival hopping or everyday wear. Work it from the point out with simple double crochet increases, finish with a playful scalloped border, and add tassels for extra flair. The mix of bulky fibers creates the ultimate hippie dippy aesthetic while keeping you warm from fall through winter.
