I'm braving Ravelry to make a few changes to my pattern info in anticipation of the Fasten-Off YarnAlong sales event (which is happening from the 21th of November!).

Send me good - non-headachey - wishes!

I don't know about you all, but sometimes, an exceptionally simple project will call to me, and I'm powerlessto resist.

I'm delighted how well this light Tunisian crochet hat has turned out.

2 days to design and make. Not bad! 🧶

I'm small & obscure enough that I'm honestly delighted if anyone thinks to do a workshop based on my pattern.

I'm happy to give permission if it's sought with the agreement that a pattern is purchased for each student.

If I know the person (say, they've pattern tested for me) I'll offer guidance.

Beehive Hat

For all my curly girls, and big-haired boys! This hat offers a generous crown and a soothing touch for your squashed locks and rumpled ringlets. The Beehive Hat boasts a loose brim that won’t…

The #BeehiveHat is designed especially for curly crocheters and big-haired heads.

The generous crown helps to keep your curls and locks from getting squished & the loose brim reduces frizz when pulled on.

Never fear, though! The brim tightens once it's on, so you still get that coziness. 🧶

This, truly was a long time coming, folks.
I crocheted this sample last spring.
I got it edited last summer.
My testers rifled through it all autumn...

Then I sat on it like a reluctant hen for a year. 🐔 Bok Bok.

But, finally I'm clearing my 🧶design backlog, and this lovely little piece is first.

Almost used the word "embiggen" in a Tunisian Crochet pattern I'm currently writing. That's a valid technical term, right?!

Oh, wow.
I'm desperately sorry to hear that.

In Ireland, they're offering them down at my local pharmacy for free to vulnerable people right now. Got a call yesterday, and today I'm jabbed.

When you say you can't get it. Like, at all?
Even healthy people over here can book with their local doc.

Fiona, I wish it were otherwise, but many Irish people struggle with it, too. It's not a common name or spelling, and certainly, anyone I find who uses it is younger than me by decades (so I call myself The Elder Aoibhe).

Still, the Ow-bee-HEE? 😂 blazer is lovely, and I hope it does well for them.

It's why, when you're told you have "above average intelligence" that's not a comment on your smarts; it's a sign that lots of other people are pulling the average waaaay down.

I'd well believe it.
I caught a mild virus in 1998 that led directly to a T1 diagnosis a month later.

I'm so so sorry the world didn't protect you from the same. To think - we could have been completely rid of this virus if everyone had just stayed the hell indoors for a few days - and yet... 💔

We popped up to the Hill of Tara (seat of the High Kings of Ireland fadó fadó), and it's just lovely to see the Síle still being honoured like this.

Ireland may be modern, now, but we don't forget our roots

A large grey standing stone with the faint carved outline of a figure in it. It set in grass and soil and behind it is alow wall an grey sky.
At its base is a collection of flowers, fruit and nuts.

The collection of offerings at the stone's base. Small apples, pink flowers an hazelnuts dominate.
People leave gifts and pray here regularly, hoping the ancient deity represented in the carving will bring them good fortune in love, pregnancy, and self-determination.

Yes, of course I left a gift, too.
