Ary knows the blanket will be hers when it's finished but has to test it every time I try to crochet more of it! #crochet #yarn #catsofbluesky

Beautiful girl! I lost my 9 year old siamese girl Luna, to cancer in May last year. It still breaks my heart but I have enough love left in the pieces that we were able to give a rescue tuxedo cat Godzilla, a home in August. Hug her close for me 🥰
Hi Bluesky it's been a while! I've been busy finishing an amigurumi of Totoro that I started before Christmas (2.5mm hook makes me so slow!). So this afternoon I wanted something quick to do - I didn't have the right yarn so this is designated as a practice piece. A chicken butt coaster! Crochet 🧶
I did use tiny led lights inside the eyes, but left a gap so that they can be replaced. The designer is lovely to talk to if you have any queries too! When I've finished the Totoro amigurumi I'm making for a friend and the hexagon cardigan I'm making for me I'll take another look at her patterns.
I've made this - mine is the most recent if you look at the projects on ravelry. Was a really nice pattern to work with and everything was explained really well :D
The cardigan has been started. Had to stop to sort the colours out as the colour change was too quick and I got fed up attaching more of the same colour to complete a round. #crochet #neon #hexagoncardigan 🧶 crochet

Get with the programme for Xmas, New year and Betwixtmas
Meet Catnip. We adopted him with his brother Butternut in August.He went out most of the morning and has tired himself out. He'll probably want to go out again later if he deigns to move for anything apart from food! #dailycat #rescuecat #fluffy 🐱

Good morning bluesky!
Everyone who knows me, knows how obsessed I am with peacocks. I've had several peacock items in my Etsy shop but this one is my favourite. Acrylic on 12x8 inch canvas 🪶🐡 #ArtShop #bsnm #MHHSBD #birds #shopindie

I love these! Been thinking about trying one myself.
This was the first crochet pattern I ever completed when I first started crocheting 2 years ago. I made it for a friend's birthday and she loved it. I used Lion Brand Mandala yarn 🧶 I still love the colours. #crochet #amigurumi #chameleon #🧶
Beautiful! If you ever sell the pattern I'd love to try making this. Never tried tapestry crochet yet.

I really like old herbarium illustrations. Last year I wrote some software to parse, score, and process the Oxford 400 herbarium dataset to remove the paper background and select the best photos.
If anyone needs a collection of beautiful plant photos...

There is some black in the skein itself (well maybe a dark charcoal colour). I think I'll have to do some practice squares in different stitches to see how it works up. I have over 2kg of this yarn so I think I can afford to play with it a bit!😍
I love it, it's not scratchy and definitely acrylic so I'll be fine wearing it, but my goth brain is struggling to work out how to use such bright colours! I've used ombre yarn and rainbow yarn before but this is totally out of my brains comfort zone. 🤣
Ary has decided that cold November days are only fit for sleeping. #tabbycats #catsofbluesky #cats 🐱
I bought it off two different sellers on eBay, I think it's a knock off of Red Heart Super Saver Stripes in the colour way Bright Stripe. As I'm in the UK Amazon is the best place to buy the official one.
