I though I posted this on Sunday, but now I don't see it, so here it is again, or for the first time. Today I've got mail to open before we jump into Stardew Valley! All funds from Crowd Control go directly to the @stjudeplaylive.bsky.social campaign! See you soon!

Have I mentioned on here that I'm on Patreon now? I didn't? Oops. Hey guess what! Please check it out and sign up! Support is appreciated but there is also a free tier and anything I post that is general information will always be free, like this one: www.patreon.com/TheTraveling...

I am fundraising for @stjudeplaylive.bsky.social and today at 4pm I will be playing Fallout 4 with Crowd Control! I've never used Crowd Control before so there will be hiccups and probably jump scares. Regular donations accepted too of course, here is the campaign: tilt.fyi/KElqqUDjNb #ForTheKids

What a full week! Today we have our #GoblinCampChaos session and will be making friendship bracelets! Then Tues/Wed/Fri will be gaming and fundraising for @stjudeplaylive.bsky.social, and Thursday will be part 5 of the tat-a-long. Streams start at 4pm this week, except Thurs at 2pm. #TattersOnTwitch

I'm so excited to be a part of the 2026 Goblin Camp Chaos! My session is July 6th at 5pm EDT and we will be making friendship bracelets! Grab that string and join us! For the full schedule and tons of info visit @artinjest.bsky.social discord! #GoblinCampChaos

Here is the Twitch schedule for this week! Possibly some streams will start early because I have a lot to do for July (panic mode activated). Thursdays will be starting at 2pm basically for as long as the tat-a-long continues (so forever). #TattersOnTwitch

Progress pics! My mock up of Adagio for Strings showing motifs 1-4 and we will work on motif 5 today at 2pm on Twitch. And my incomplete dragon, I got one wing finished and started the second but haven't quite finished. @stitchcrafthowl.bsky.social finished their dragon and it is amazing!

This dragon will soon be getting wings! I'm excited for part 2 of the Flying Minor Norwegian Dragon tat-a-long with @stitchcrafthowl.bsky.social on 6/24 starting at 1pm EST! We'll both be streaming on Twitch, join www.twitch.tv/thetraveling... or www.twitch.tv/stitchcraftw... #TattersOnTwitch

This week on Twitch! Remember my normal start time is 5pm, Wednesday and Thursday are earlier because they are collaborations but I'm liking it so far, I might start shifting other days earlier to see how it goes. See you soon! #TattersOnTwitch #tatting #lacemaking

Do what you love just because you love it! #makers #art #hobbies

Here is the Twitch schedule for this week! So much going on! On Wednesday we will be starting a Flying Minor Norwegian Dragon as a tat-a-long and we will continue next Wednesday because one stream is not enough. This is a collab with @stitchcrafthowl.bsky.social and I'm so excited! #TattersOnTwitch

I am honored to be part of another #GoblinCampChaos! Look at those names! And I'm in that list! Ahhhhhhh!

I finally got it together to attach doilies to parasol frames. Lots of posts today! Get ready. #crochet 🧶 #parasol ☂️ #finished #LesbianPride #LetsGoLesbians

This is happening right now! Follow along or quietly donate, whichever you prefer!

The first stream of the tat-a-long making Adagio for Strings by Mike Lyon went great! I finished motifs 1-3 and started the 4th, and predictably Yatarika finished all 4. We will start with motif 5 next week, this tat-a-long will continue on Thursdays each week. #tatting #AdiagoForStrings

Here is this week's Twitch schedule! For Thursday's collab with Yatarika, the pattern we are doing is a paid pattern found in Mike Lyon's book Engineered Tatting Designs. IRL stream with @k3lsb3lls.bsky.social is on Saturday but the fundraiser is open now! Check it out at: tilt.fyi/PNMfdUnlQf

The Seasonal Pattern list has been updated! Featured are #tatting patterns for Summer but also for #Pride and Craftivism, and an American flag pattern that can be used as a template for other countries as well (let me know if you need help doing this). Enjoy! collected-chaos.com/pages/season...

Party! I love birthdays and didn't get to do my birthday stream, so Toffel is kindly sharing his birthday stream with me! Join us tomorrow the 6th at 2pm EDT for who knows what. Maybe a new game, maybe a new badge, definitely lots of potatoes. #EmotionalSupportPotato

Mark your calendars! The event will be at twitch.tv/impsmushroom...

Here is the lineup for Technique Tuesdays in June. My Twitch stream starts at 5pm Eastern time and the Technique Tuesday segment starts at 6pm. Do you have a technique you'd like to see presented in future months? Let me know! #TattersOnTwitch #tatting

As a thank you to raiders, each month each Twitch streamer who raids into my stream will have their name put into a drawing for a chance to win a giveaway item. (Multiple raids = multiple entries). For June, the drawing will be for a Toffel shirt! Good luck! collected-chaos.com/products/tof...

Starting tomorrow. 30 days. Hundreds of streamers. Together For Pride. The Twitch Pride Guild Raid Train runs all of June, featuring members celebrating their queer joy every single day! Check out all of the stops -> r3dlabs.com/events/twitc... My slot: June 9, at 5PM (EEST) #TwitchUnityGuilds

This week for Technique Tuesday we are going to talk again about the Monster Doily by Jan Stawasz. A youtuber is stirring up interest about this pattern and how hard it is to get. Spoiler alert: it's not actually that hard to get. So why does everyone think it is?

MORE RAINBOWS!!!

The Cluny #tatting stream went well, we learned it together and now have a better understanding of how it's done, and that there are three different ways to do it! I'm going to build a loom and once it's finished I'll do a proper Technique Tuesday stream going over all 3 methods. #AlwaysLearning

I love these!

Hi friends! Technique Tuesday is back tomorrow and we will be looking at Cluny tatting! It's new for me too, so let's learn it together. I need to reschedule my birthday stream, but it feels weird doing it not on my birthday. How about Toffel's birthday? It's in June, should we have duo party?

In honor of a friend lost too soon, consider designating a bridge person between your irl and online friends. Online friends also want to know if something happens to you. 💙

Here is a piece I completed a while ago but couldn't share until he got to his home. The pattern is by Tatting Nyonya and I shuttle tatted it with a yellow and white variegated thread. It was a very fun pattern to do. #snek #shuttletatting

This is an interesting dilemma. On one hand, I agree with not sharing patterns from books, that takes away sales of the book which support the designer. But this pattern isn't in any of his books, it was published in a Polish magazine in 2007 which is very hard to find.

I will be taking part in Dinosaur Streamfest 25 and I'm so excited! It starts at 10am on May 9th and will feature 23 streamers from all categories for 12 hours! My slot is at 4pm but I'll be watching everyone else, hope to see you there! check out the full lineup here: danielleallard.com/streamfest

Technique Tuesdays are back! My Twitch stream starts at 5pm Est and Technique Tuesday sessions begin one hour later at 6pm. Here are this months topics, I am always open to suggestions so let me know what you would like to see scheduled for June! Also it's my birthday month, who wants to party?!

April is over and the campaign for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research is closed! We raised $1,800.69 which is amazing. Thank you for the donations but also for hanging out in streams, collaborating with me, discussing the need to keep funding research, and just being awesome.

As a thank you to raiders, each month each Twitch streamer who raids into my stream will have their name put into a drawing for a chance to win a giveaway item. (Multiple raids = multiple entries). For May, the drawing will be for a Toffel magnet! Good luck! collected-chaos.com/products/tof...

The fundraiser total now sits at $1,800.69. At $2k I have to plan to dye my hair blue for reals, with bleach first and everything. Will we get there? Tomorrow is the last day! Join me at 5pm on Twitch where we will do any final giveaways, name any last ducks, and decide the fate of my hair. #mjff

Next week is the last week of April and my last collab for Parkinson's Awareness month. I'll be tatting and chatting with @vintagesewgal.bsky.social and in a twist I'll be needle tatting with her! We'll both be streaming, join either of us next Tuesday 4/28, the collab will begin at 7 EST.

We are still fundraising for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research! We are at $1,250! Only a little over a week left, here are the current incentives. It's looking like I'm saved from having to run (phew). Ducks and keychains and earrings are still available! tilt.fyi/ZdY6eoiBtb

This week we have yet another amazing collab scheduled, this one with @impsmushroomhut.bsky.social! We will both be streaming on Friday starting at 3pm EST, tatting and talking about Parkinson's. That's right, Imp is a tatter now! The fundraiser is going strong, ducks are being stolen, it's chaos!

I'm (almost) ready for class tomorrow! It's been a while since I taught an in-person class so I'm excited! I've got the shuttles and thread ready but my printer said no so I get to stop at the library in the morning to print the handouts. Yay for new tatters!

We will be having a discussion on Parkinsons tomorrow at 4pm est with @thetravelingtatter.bsky.social . This is to help bring more awareness and education to the Parkinsons condition for the month of April! I hope to see you there! We will be co streaming! www.twitch.tv/thequeenprop...

My next April collab is almost here! @thequeenprophyte.bsky.social is an Occupational Therapy Doctor and treating Parkinson's falls under her umbrella. We will both be streaming so join either of us on Twitch tomorrow the 17th at 4pm Eastern time as we discuss Parkinson's! #MJFF #Parkinsons

Our campaign total so far is $519, and considering everything happening in the world I think that's very good. We are giving away a Toffel needleminder every $250, so the next one is at $750, and if we hit $600 total today we'll do a giveaway of a MJFF t-shirt! Going live on Twitch now!

Do you want to help in the fight against Parkinson's but don't have extra funds to donate right now? There are other ways to help, one of them is participating in research studies. I received materials for a study I just signed up for (PPMI) and I'll go over it on Twitch on Monday. 1/

#Dragon is finished and being blocked! Ignore those tails, they are all sewn in but I'm not trimming until after blocking (if you missed it, it was actually finished once before but I accidentally pulled an end while blocking and had to do a repair). I wish cameras captured how vibrant it is.

We gave away the first Witchy Toffel Needleminder tonight! Don't forget, we have a poll up in Tiltify where you can decide if I have to nuke my own camp in #Fallout76 during Friday's event! Go vote and help out a good cause at the same time! #Parkinsons #MJFF #Tiltify tilt.fyi/ZdY6eoiBtb

The April fundraiser is moving right along! Did I share pics of this years needleminders to be given away? I didn't?! Check these out, made by @azurekoi.bsky.social, aren't they amazing?! We give one away for every $250 raised, and this is the only way to get one so tune in! tilt.fyi/ZdY6eoiBtb

Oops, late posting this! Every month each Twitch streamer who raids into my stream will have their name put into a drawing for a chance to win a giveaway item. (Multiple raids = multiple entries). For April, the drawing will be for Toffel socks! collected-chaos.com/products/tof... Good luck!

I was not expecting to finish the first wing in one stream, but it happened! For anyone wanting to follow along, don't watch this vod, I got confused a few times in places where I always say "I'll remember next time I do this" and never do. Tomorrow I'll do the second wing, that vod will be better.

One of the many collabs I'll be doing this month will be with @pyxbomb.bsky.social on Friday the 10th at 4pm Eastern. Pyx will be helping me drop my first nuke in Fallout 76 since I started the game over on pc, and you get to decide where we drop it! Check the poll at tiltify.com/@thetravelin...

Another packed week! Monday we do part 2 of the dragon tat a long. Technique Tuesdays are on hold for April but we will talk about quick tips each Tuesday instead. And a very fun collab at the end of the week, more info on that soon! All while fundraising for the MJFF! #tatting #TattersOnTwitch
