I'm also dabbling a bit with Bluesky. The weekly prompt in one of the crochet Threads there was neckwear: cowls, loops scarfs etc.
I'm not a huge fan of cowls, but was intruiged with the Moebius technique, so gave this a try. Bonus: it also doubles as a headwrap. And the yarn is beautiful.

I finished the pair of Mittens I started last Tuesday. I'm a tad disappointed by the yarn; the colour started out super vibrant and became muted throughout the same skein. It's not the first time I observed this. Ah well, the mittens are still fun. Also, Anniversary! These are the 20th pair of Wyverns & Witchlings Mittens I've made. :D

That one was a cool project. A Newsboy hat made from recycled jeans cotton yarn, with an actual Jeans Button as an accent. You know what's cool about Jeans Buttons? No sewing, they are hammered in. :D

Yesterday I spent the majority of my day waiting in waiting rooms. My yarn and hook kept me occupied with a pattern I can do almost by heart. First mitt almost done, will get the pair finished at the weekend latest, I hope. #wipwednesday

🎬 Das Fiber Life Festival fand Ende März auf der ikonischen Tianmu Plaza in 杭州 statt. Das Festival drehte sich um FIBER. Also ganz klassisch um Wolle, Garne, Stoffe, Spinnen, Weben ... aber auch um Themen wie Recycling, Kunst und Life-Balance.

Doch auch um Textilien als Metapher für das Miteinander-Verwoben-Sein und eine Gemeinschaft von Gleichgesinnten.

Some projects are harder to capture in a picture than others. Like this rectangular stole. Did I mention it has glitter in it? Today is a day that asks for glitter to get through it.

The details in that beauty are great, I love all the structure. Lots of bobble stitches in variations. (.... though not as many as in my current WIP)
I remember I made this shawl for a MAL over on Ravelry (Make-Along) with the topic Earth and my inspiration was Sedona.
The pattern itself was also a CAL (Crochet Along) by the Designers, but I made it later. In any case - I love the composition of this pattern. Bonus - the yarn is from a small yarnwinder in my country. As small as our country is, that makes her local to me. :D

This is a very special piece. In one of my yarn surprise boxes, there was this crazy luxurious yarn:
40% Wool - Merino
25% Camelid - Llama
20% Silk
15% Cellulose - Linen / Flax

I was almost scared to use it and searched the longest time for a fitting project. I eventually decided on the Shawl of the Moirae and I think it's such a special piece.

Let's talk about blocking your crochet pieces. Blocking is magic and can bring your project to a whole new level.
Swipe to see what this snowflake ornament looked like before and during blocking. In this case I was also working with starch, which I don't do for shawls. But it's useful for an ornament.
By the way - you don't need expensive equipment to block something. In this case, I used a kids' playmat and some pins. You could also use a folded up towel.

The pattern for this beauty is called "Dandelion Lane" and the yarn I used reminded me of a Dandelion growing out of a street. Amazing little resilient plants! Also - the shawl has Glitter. Most things are better with Glitter.

About three years ago I took on the adventure "Elf Coat". It was my first Tunisian Crochet Project and what a learning it has been. The pattern and the resources available from the designer are wonderful and I learned so much from her! The following observations are related to my specific project alone.

- Don't use acrylic yarn for a garment. The static when peeling this coat off is unreal.
- Don't forget gravity: I'm plus size = more yarn = heavier garment = the whole thing stretches when worn. I wanted it to be at my knees, it grew down to my shins.
- Did I mention the static? Seriously, I think that surprised me the most.
- Tunisian Crochet is not my cup of tea. But I'm happy I tried it out.
- Making a garment as a plus size person sucks, unless the garment was specifically designed for plus size.
