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. :-)

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

The glove extends to cover part of the forearm, with textured layers resembling overlapping scales. A silver ring is visible on the ring finger, and the background is a neutral, light-colored surface.

Between them, a small illuminated fountain with an intricate tree design casts a warm glow, adding to the cozy, artistic ambiance.

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

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.

This is a more recent project, finished last December; therefore the slightly crappy lighting. It's super flowy and delicate, made with lace-weight yarn. And it has glitter! Swipe to the close-up to actually see some of the sparkles.

Happy #caturday ! Lewis likes to help with my projects, especially if they are soft.
This cowl/hood combination sounded like a great idea and it was really pretty... but it did not suit me at all. I looked so ridiculous in it that I could only let BB-8 model it. :lol: Seriously, I looked like a Jawa. But hey, practice and all that, so all was fine and had its purpose. :-)

Oh, I almost forgot about this beauty! I used 2 Yarncakes and alternated them; I ended up using about 1824 m yarn. It's a pattern by a polish designer, essentially it's just charts and I was so proud that I managed to make it. Being able to read crochet charts opens up a whole new world beyond language barriers. I love it.
