Clearly I still need practice writing crochet patterns. This is actually the first one I've ever released publicly. I've made another edit to clarify the instructions. Next time I write one I'll ask for volunteers to test it before release. Free Crochet Pattern by Osquer Campbell #crochet #pattern

Persimmon's 1st treasure-beaded necklace is now available on in my Ko-Fi! ko-fi.com/kutkumegsan Each one of my hoof-crafted necklaces are unique, made with love, and with a variety of beads, including vintage materials, all collected throughout the years! Details are in the link! #jewelryforsale

Inspired by a picture of knitted kittens by Julie Martin in the Random acts of Knitting and Crochet kindness group on FB, I crocheted one. I think it turned out really cute. I'm going to make more to release into the cat distribution system. I hope they find the people who need them. #cats #crochet

Last night I told a friend about hearing a pair of tawny owls calling outside our windows. I said I thought they might be making baby owls. My friend said, "The world needs more owls." I agree; so, guess what I'm crocheting today. 🦉 #crochet #RandomActsOfCrochetKindness #kindness #CrochetItForward

A Glimmer is a small moment that sparks joy, happiness, or peace. Today's glimmer is: When I went outside to admire Mr. C's refurb of the picnic table he found and presented me with a lovely feather. #glimmer

Well, I nearly gave myself heat stroke trying on my creation. I don't like the way it fits as a cocoon cardigan. It's very unflattering and the shape doesn't show off the squares well at all. So, plan B. I'm going to turn it into a poncho. #crochet #LiveAndLearn

Update on us: #crochet

I've made more progress on my cocoon cardigan. I've added two of the sides made from the smaller squares. Two more to go and then I'll stitch it into shape and add cuffs and trim. #crochet

On today's episode of #WillItPasty 🥟 : leftover chicken in white wine sauce with peas, carrots, and potatoes. Mr. C says it's Sunbeamadelicious! 😋 #cooking

I've joined the 16 large squares to form the center of the panel. Next I'll place the 28 smaller squares around the edges. First I'll join them into 4 long strips. I've got them arranged in stacks and labeled as to their placement. #crochet

I'm looking forward to trying out my new bath mitt. 🛀 #crochet #pride #lgbtqia

Sometimes, especially in this sticky weather, the yarn rubbing across my finger as I crochet irritates my skin. I found a video tutorial for this cute finger cuff to protect it. youtu.be/b4uiT6Y2PLA?... #crochet

Look how adorable this new amigurumi fox pattern by @laurascraftedcollectibles (IG) is! I feel truly privileged to have been one of her pattern testers. You can find links to the pattern in her bio. #crochet #amigurumi #fox

While waiting for Mr. C to buy wood hardener at the DIY store I put the finishing touches on another Hug Monster. I was proud of myself for managing to force my brain to be more random with this one. Randomness doesn't come naturally to me. #crochet #RandomActsOfCrochetKindness #kindness

Tonight I embarked on a gastronomic adventure: Pizza with smoked chicken, mushrooms, tomatoes, and mustard! It is nicely balanced. The chicken is smoky, the tomatoes add freshness, and the mustard gives it a tiny bit of bite. 😋 #dinner #pizza

I've been so pleased to see local businesses implementing the new requirement for parking lots in France over a certain size to be roofed with solar panels. It provides both power and shade.

We took a drive to Elliotts Boucherie today. We stopped in Olivet where I had spotted a Boite À Livres (Little Free Library) on our last trip to Gorron. I left a few crocheted kindnesses and borrowed 2 books to further my plans to read some French every day. I found a snapshot in one of them.

I really enjoyed testing this Battle Buddy #crochet pattern by @altxversi (IG). I made mine with DK (3 ply) weight yarn and a size G (4mm) hook; so, he came out wee and cute. He'll be a great comrade in the battle against anxiety. www.instagram.com/altxversi?ig...

Update on us: 21:48 hrs I had most of the work of cooking dinner done before breakfast. We had crockpot beef patties and potatoes in mushroom onion gravy with sautéed courgette (zucchini) which went down well with buttered bread, a mug of tea, and a ghost story read by Simon Stanhope.
