Fair Warning: Mushroom Spam incoming soon, latest once I took them out for a photo shoot. LOL Finished the little guy yesterday evening, thus there's just a crappy "Yay, I'm done!" picture. Showing him off with his bigger sibling.
I'm very much still learning Amigurumi, so this time, it was about practicing with smaller yarn. Which I prefer to the Velvet yarn, as I can actually see the stitches. :D

I hope to show off something recent soon again, but until then, have some more older makes.
This one was super relaxing to make and now has a good home with my aunt, who jumped on it immediately, as she adored the colors. :-)

Spouse popped into A Darn Good Yarn to pick up yarn I need to finish a project, and they gave him one of their Trevithick Day freebies - cute stitch markers, a "handmade with love" label, and a yarn needle.

They're the sweetest, friendliest local yarn store folk we've met down this way and we love supporting them.

I'm hoping I'll get to have a peek at their rainbow wall while I'm here, which has 116 shades of one of their DK yarns!

My posting has slowed down a bit and that's ok. There's 164 of you following my crafting journey since I joined here back in January, and for this I thank you.
Thank you for sharing the love of crochet and handmade art with me and thank you for being an amazing community.

Today I'm showing you another cowl that could double as a headwrap. I'm still not a cowl-person, but I very much like the yarn and how it pooled. :-)

Included in the box is a copy of the book, soap, a bookmark, a sticker and a set of postcards.

Boxes are already on their way. Happy knitting!

Alright science enjoyers, I have collected some data for us 👩‍🔬

Ordered the yarn on Sunday, still feeling absolutely terrible.

Package arrived Tuesday around noon, later that day I managed to record a short video for Ko-fi members, and by that night OH was saying "you sound a lot less cough-ey".

Next few days, made sure to pet the yarn and look at the yarn and take photos of the yarn. A lingering cough remains, and my voice took a while to come back but otherwise the recovery seems complete.

Things definitely took a turn for the better on Tuesday, that's all I'm saying.

I have 1200 yards of nice thick 100% wool, 2 ply from BarlettYarn in Maine. Should I make a squishy rug and felt it, or a cozy couch blanket (and also probably felt it)?

I never have large quantites of a single yarn, so I want to make something substantial, instead of lots of small things. #knitting #crochet #yarn #FiberArts

Continued scrap blanket project. I more or less got the bottom of my own stash, at least if I wanted to make nice looking colour combos for the squares. Today I raided my mom's stash for more yarn for the rest of the blanket! The yarn is airing out in the sun on the balcony after hanging out in a drawer for many years.
