it took a good lot of patience & some trial and error, but TL Yarn Crafts' learn to crochet video is where it finally 'clicked' for me! hopefully you find it just as helpful π youtu.be/zzWX2dx8ufc?...

actually nvm i'm glad i did. the crochet bodice turned out very cute π§Ά
impending dentists appointments make me feel like i'm being hunted for sport
gay people music video night except all three of my friends are busy so its just me sitting at the computer with a mixed drink in my jamas
seriously can't wait to see what color palette she goes for this time with the main happy place line since the originals are so stunning π gotta get my hands on apricity one of these days too, it looks sooo bouncy!! hmm maaybe she'll release some new patterns to go with the new happy place colors? π€
FOUR BOOMS FOR THE EPCOT MEXICO STRAWBERRY FIELDS MARGARITA it was very tasty, sweet but unfortunately there was a casualty of today's nasty windy weather...... RIP to the gummy bear attached to a not-pictured umbrella pick πποΈ

the next severance episode doesn't drop for 1.5hours but y'all the wait is unbearable
- so mileage may vary on that front. most of the colors are sold out rn but toni's confirmed there will be a restock with a brand new color palette in the future π
YESYESYES PLS i'd so love to see your beautiful work! and ofc will totally share mine once getting to it after busting the current massive wip pile lmao. hp has been generally nice to work with, def splitty but i also only center pull & have heard it's less splitty working from the outside -
YESS every pattern she puts out is just gorgeous! π€ the bahama blankie is SOOOO pretty, your niece is going to LOVEE IT! the wrap version is on my to-stitch list to knock out a bunch of DK minis. & thank you so much, you really can't go wrong with toni's happy place yarn heheh
THREE (out of five) BIG BOOMS on steakhouse 71's heron vodka gimlet. probably not a true gimlet imo with the addition of lemonade & chartreuse green liqueur, so one BOOM removed for this probably being closer to a glorified vodka lemonade. good as hell though ngl
π€ if we math this right, new hooks actually help in using up the yarn stash... making it a productive purchase if stashing down is your goal. seems worth the purchase bahahaha!
heheh, a new excuse to go hook (or yarn) shopping is always welcomed π€ wishing you a lovely rabbit hole down into the world of tunisian crochet!
thank you!! π
totally agree tunisian appears so daunting at first - but it's very rhythmic and much simpler than it looks. in my opinion toni's tutorials make it quite accessible to start, she's got a fantastic stitch sampler blanket pattern with video accompaniments that's worth a look π
wouldn't have thought a tunisian crochet blanket to be a very mobile sort of project, but toni lipsey's checked out blanket has been a great travel WIP π§Ά
a forest green colored beer with a bit of foam in a clear plastic cup, about 3/4 full.
absolute DOOM on the hawkes' grog in the animal kingdom avatar land this afternoon. app said this has notes of peach and apricot, but i only picked up notes of rotten shrek's piss. i've had better beers poured from questionable looking kegs in frat house basements back in college days.

shoulda never volunteered to pattern test for someone on knit net man cause now i'm being held at gunpoint to chain 250 in fingering weight yarn
treat yourself to some new nice squishy wool!! i'm really not much of a bulky weight & up person but make the rare exception for wool ease thick & quick π a macrame tote sounds beautiful yet painstaking - i admire your resolve to finishing it!π«°
thank youuu π the yarn is lion brand wool ease thick & quick, held double. colors from bottom up are blackstone, claret, & spice!!
behold the wainscot stitch crochet π§Ά basket that singlehandedly gifted me brand new calluses on my hands as a reward for completing it in 24 hours. another christmas gift DONE
View of the back of a black cat's head laying on a navy blanket on a bed, watching a laptop playing Mina Le's "the death of personal style" video on the screen.
just learned the cat is a mina le fan
he's so Ears
the family cat is NOT grateful to see me this thanksgiving
thanks!! βΊοΈ the caron macchiato cake yarn has some of the nicest color coordination & shifts
thank you!! ππ
a little π§Ά WIP wednesday in the final hour, but aiming to finish this behemoth of a crochet star blanket this week π so torn on how much bigger i want it to get though.....
sadly no π nothing in the settings to reduce movement. i hope there's a later update that adds some better camera settings, but that might be too hopeful given it's a ported game π’
the copious amounts of deans french onion dip i've eaten in one sitting to really enhance the nostalgia of it all likely hasnt helped either but shhhh
