Project Update: The Volcano is Rumblin' – Lava Run Updates - Craftable Version Out Now! ✂️ 🌋

The volcano is rumblin' and bubblin'! The craftable version of Lava Run is ready for download, surveys are coming this week, we can now dive into the new expansion pack, and the live dino crochet-alongs are coming back in a big way!


🧶 Craft-Able Version Out Now! 🎨


Get your scissors sharpened, hooks buffed, and reading glasses cleaned because the full craftable version of Lava Run is out now! This collection of downloadable content includes the printable version of the board and tiles, crochet dinosaur patterns, 3D print models, and a table top simulator version of the game for digital play!

⬇️ ⬇️ Find the full Craftable Collection At the Bottom Of This Update! ⬇️ ⬇️

**You will need to be logged into your Backerkit account to access!**

You will also be receiving a digital download code after your survey next week, but the link above will always be open for backers! If you have any trouble with any of these files, please reach out to me by commenting below or emailing me directly at [email protected]


📝 Surveys Are Being Sent! ☑️


Surveys are just about ready to send out! The survey is the opportunity for you to choose your rewards, provide your shipping address, and other info for shipping your game. Sorry for the delay, we were securing discounted shipping costs for the EU and AU/NZ. The only thing left before we send surveys out is a short review from Backerkit to make sure all the bells and whistles are correct.

Expect to receive an email about surveys by next weekend (3/1). If you are having trouble finding it, please reach out via email to [email protected]!


🌊 A Look Beneath the Waves of H2O-NO Expansion Pack! 🦕


H2O-NO! is making a splash in Lava Run! This wild expansion throws towering tsunamis and unpredictable floods into the race to escape the erupting volcano. With game-changing tiles, additional rules, and four new daring dinosaurs, no path is safe for long. Can you outrun the lava before the rising waters sweep you away?

Let's take a deeper look at 3 of the new 9 tiles added in H2O-NO:

  • Overflow - All players must immediately play every hostile tile in their hands before redrawing back up to 4 tiles. Any event tiles not played must remain in the players hands.

  • Geyser - These tiles can be played on an empty square. Any dino ending their turn on a Geyser must move 1 additional square in any direction. Geyser tiles can only be covered by a Pit Tile, and cannot be covered up by a lava flow or boulder.

  • Flood - Every player must return all lava flow tiles into the volcano and re-draw back up to 4 tiles.

>> Add H2O-NO! To your order <<



🔴 Dinosaur Crochet Alongs are BACK! 🦖


We've still got a lot of dinos and volcanos to crochet! Join me live on Sunday's over on my Crochet YouTube channel, Club Crochet, to crochet a few dinos live. You can give suggestions, ask any questions about the project, or just hang-out and crochet along with me! The first stream will start this Sunday (2/23) at 3pm PST.

Includes Backer-Exclusive Content

Project Update: HUGE announcement! - New Book and Game Coming Soon! 🎲 📕

Okay, it’s finally time to show you what I’ve been stitching together since the release of Lava Run! I have been hook down working on maybe my biggest project yet, something big, weird, and very... Louie.

So I’m beyond excited to announce… The Goomis are coming out this September!


There's a lot to unravel here, including a new game, a book, and an entire world to explore as you meet a massive collection of my crocheted creatures! Let's take it one stitch at a time:

My new book, Crochet Goomis, is a massive collection—over 50 original amigurumi characters—set in a full yarn-crafted world called Goomia. As you crochet, you explore regions, meet characters, level up your skills, and even face off against epic boss patterns! All while you uncover the mysteries and stories in magical world filled with dragons, yetis, dinosaurs, gnomes, and even a mayoral cookie!

Alongside it, I’m launching a brand new collectable card game: Battle Goomis, a fast-paced game where your Goomis battle it out using unique abilities—and yes, you can actually crochet your team and play with them. Use each Goomi’s unique stats and special abilities to outplay your opponents by winding up your Yarn Ball fully or knocking out every rival in a fun, quick 2 - 4 player game designed for ages 7+.


The crowd-funder for the game will launch this September, just after the book release, and if you get Crochet Goomis, you’ll get a free printable starter deck for Battle Goomis included with your book for all the characters! Leading up to the release I’ll be doing loads of crochet-alongs, livestreams, and playtesting—so if you want in, now’s the time.

In fact, I'm fully opening up testing for Battle Goomis to anyone who bought Lava Run as of now. If you would like to learn more check out the open play-test info below!

Learn more about the Goomis at TheGoomis.com






If you’ve had a chance to play Lava Run, leaving a review would help more than you know. It really helps new people discover the game.

Here are the best places to leave reviews:


Even a short sentence goes a long way 🙏

📦 Missing Something?

If anything was missing from your order or didn’t arrive as expected, just reply to update or email me directly at [email protected] and let me know, I’ve got you covered.


Let me know what you think—and happy hookin’!

Just wanted to follow up: I received the beautiful game box in November and December 31 I received the crochet Add-on. They look all very well put together but I didn’t not have time to start crafting or playing. Thanks for a good campaign and complete fulfillment :D Greetings from Switzerland
