When I find a pattern I like, I’m compelled to make samples using various sized hooks & yarns. Purely out of curiosity…🐱 Here, L to R, I used worsted, dk, & fingering weight yarns & on the blocking board, #10 crochet thread. Toadstool Square pattern by Pony McTate. 🧶🧶🧶

The return of Stress Bake Monday. Made Anxiety Tamer Coconut Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. Rescued some long ago forgotten, frozen, overripe bananas. Used a Pinterest recipe for the basic quick bread…Shredded coconut & dark chocolate chips were my add-ins.👨‍🍳

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

Finished yesterday. Stash-buster-hexi-cardi🙂 Used 3 kinds of yarn. Had 2 of the 3 stashed for 3-4 years.😬 My fave makes are a result of “shopping” what I’ve got in my stash, designing a project around it &/or scrap yarn projects. Much different experience than buying yarn for a specific project.🧶

Working in a stash-buster cardi. I’m much further along than when this pic was snapped, tho. This one’s based on the (viral) granny hexagon cardigan, I’ve added lots of improvisational elements to the basic shape. Using self-striping, sock weight yarn & faux-mohair held together for this step…🧶

Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

Finally!

This is my sample of the "Bromley" shawl. It is definitely colorful, feels wonderfully soft knitted mostly in a hand dyed Bamboo by Theodora's Pearls and last for good measure, a skein of crisp linen was used to accent it. It's popping! 🧶 #bromleyshawl #shawlknitters #knitting #knitkits

Always wanted to learn this style of beaded crochet rope. Watched a couple free YouTube tutorials…Using pony beads & worsted weight yarn, I worked a 4 bead/color repeat. After a substantial amount of frustration, I finally got it! 😖😒🧐🥳 🧶 #stitchwitch #wegotthebead #crocheteveryday

I finished this granny cardigan about a month ago. Love the fae color combo…So comfy & squishy soft! I like to wear it open over a tee, or fastened closed with a shawl pin.🧶 #stitchwitch #diyordie #wearhandmade #faerywear

⚡️ The historic moment of Estonia leaving the Russian-fed power grid. On February 8, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia left Russia and Belarus energy system. By the end of the day today, they will have joined the European grid.

Crocheted this hat awhile back using the waistcoat stitch. Such a cool stitch for adding a graphic element, working in the round…Almost looks knitted! PS. I find beauty in all things skeleton related, especially skulls.☠️🧶 #stitchwitch #putaskullonit #crocheteveryday

Reworked WIP: Hadn’t originally intended this particular rectangle of pony-beaded crochet to become an ebook cozy, but it sure turned out to be perfect for that very thing! Lined it with a scrap of cotton jersey & even made a stretchy pocket at the top to secure the ebook.🧶 #crochetpunk #diyordie

Well, dang…Lost at yarn chicken today.With just ONE row left to weave I ran out of green yarn.😝 Like 3 yards short! Luckily, I have another hank, but need to cake it up. 🫥 Tomorrow… Love this plaid tho. Can’t wait to see it felted! 🧶 #crochetpunk #stitchwitchery #diyordie

We're now in the part of The Lorax where the Onceler invites his whole family to move in, they build a giant factory to mass produce thneeds and start chopping down every Truffula tree, dumping gluppity-glupp in the water, and filling the skies with smogulous smog.

So, after sitting with all the emotions since Monday and seeing news rolling out from the US now, I've decided to break my own rule of not commenting on political stuff. Silence in hope of popularity helps no one. youtu.be/NblssmQlOP4

🧶Working on a fun tartan-style crossbody bag. Weaving strands of yarn across striped crochet stitches to create plaid! Next step will be agitating it in the washer to felt & shrink it to create a thick, dense fabric.🧶 #subversivestitching #stitchwitch #diyordie #crochetpunk
