@tartrazeen thank you so much! It's a ton of knots to make but worth it. I'm glad you like it.

Just your average purple doily in progress

Update to average purple doily and I am on the final round. So grateful I have my mom's old tatting pattern books. This particular pattern was printed in 1980. The instructions for making knots in string are great. Lol

Love the Ned Flanders of it

Finally, finished my cardigan. Loosely inspired by Show me, Romi! On YT.

I cannot get over how HEFTY this shuttle is, I could commit a grand act of violence with this thing if I'm not careful.

And finally, more crochet! After I finished the rocky horror lips, I felt this vague urge to clear out patterns I'd acquired and never made, and when I looked at my ravelry stash, obviously shuttle the shongololo was the first thing to catch my eye. Yes, it was a free pattern, not money I'd spent going to waste, but come on. IRRESISTIBLE.

I did do some modifications on the fly, because it's written for dk yarn (and a lot of it), and i have very little dk, but SO much worsted, including the variegated stripe yarn I was absolutely determined to use for the body. I think I multiplied recommended hook size by 1.5 all over and just went for it! Checking the gauge? In THIS economy?? But it was a huge success, even though I VASTLY underestimated how much material it would take and despite intending to use up my stash, I had to re-up on supplies multiple times (between yarn, stuffing, and breaking my hook, it was like. seven trips). I must inform you that there's so much material in this thing that when I tossed it onto this bed, it rolled off the other side and sounded like a body hitting the floor. It's huge, and it's HEAVY.

But the results are undeniable! Holding two stands of multicolor yarn with the same gradient pattern and just making sure they never sync was SO cool. And the underbelly is a velvet yarn that's sooooo so soft, I love it so much. However, 132 legs. That was... unfortunate. But I'm a creature of fleeting memory! And when I recovered a little, I started thinking about the short pillbug version of the millipede, and I started thinking about my yarn leftovers, and, well, here we are. I used one strand of a different gradient yarn to mix it up a little, and also, to avoid even more shopping trips, but oh man. OH MAN. This pattern is something I probably won't do again, but it is very, VERY fantastic

A Tiny Baby Bananasaurus!

Look how friggin' cute!!!!! I have the "baby" pattern already purchased but the creator put out this tiny baby for free on Instagram and it's so easy and adorable!

I also finally got to try doing two different yarns together to give it a more green/not quite ripe look.

Pattern by EmeraldRoseCrochet (free on Instagram) Materials used: Himalaya Baby Dolphin Cream, Himalaya Baby Dolphin Yellow, Hobbii Rainbow 8/4 Green (22), Premier Parfait Chunky Teddy

Finally finished a necklace I've had sitting around in progress for months. It's the first piece I've finished using size 80 tatting thread and it was a fun challenge.

so today at work one of my coworkers hands me a box

I have no context for this. He’s a 50? 60? Year old plumber who tends to walk into the office, tell a dad joke, and leave. I’ve just arrived at work and am still putting my purse away. So he hands me this box and says it comes with instructions. I open it and unfold this

He says his great grandma probably made it

This pansy is the tiniest pocket in the world

It could use some blocking after who knows how many years in the box but look at these sweet little pansies!

The pattern was clearly typed on a typewriter, several pages of it. I guess this was an apron specifically for having your friends over for tea.

I just happened to be wearing a skirt that kind of goes with it, so I did wear it all day (it’s a @mayakern skirt!) and another friend said I look like I should be living in a shoe. Perhaps as some sort of mouse girl making pastries for the other woodland creatures. But uhhhhh what an incredible heirloom piece to just be handed. It’s probably twice as old as I am. I’m definitely going to bring it to stitch circle this week

Beautiful!
