I stabbed under my left thumbnail with a hairbrush prong yesterday, and today, my thumb is killing me.

RIP, my comfy crochet evening. 😭🧶

Will you help me decide something important and crochet-related over on my blog today? 🧶

Crafty Peeps!
Which is it: pom-pom? pompom? ponpom?

...or some other ungodly and pedantic spelling?

All right, crafty folks.
I need everyone who sees this to keep a look out for the following shawls. They were lost by FedEx on the way to Barcelona Knits, and have been declared "unrecoverable".

This is thoussands of euros of work & materials, not to mention their value at Trunk Shows & Workshops.

It's almost one week since our beautiful dog Korra crossed the rainbow bridge, and the reality of those words still leaves me utterly bereft.

I'm unmoored, at a total loss.
She was everything; a big silly goof, a philosopher, a shiny new soul we were entrusted with on earth.

My heart is broken.

I made a prototype pompom for one of my newest Tunisian crochet pattern samples. 🧶

Is it too big, do you think...?

I've been meaning to crochet with this Mirasol Miski yarn for quite some time, now. About fifteen years, in fact. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

But as I always say, there's no rushing a good thing! 🧶

Seems there was a tiny glitch with the Patreon discount code, folks. My fault.

But I have it fixed now, so your discount will apply on top of the sale price successfully now.

Sorry!

Things are getting cozy here at Yarn Towers.

That's two crochet patterns released & several more to come between now & Christmas. 🧶

#BeehiveHat is caring for curly hair, with a loose crown and a self-tightening band. And #TectonicShawl uses only 340m of 4-ply yarn for an easy-to-wear neck warmer.

Crochet shawl, just completed.
I'm very happy with how cozy this is.

I'm slooooowly getting through my Tunisian crochet pattern-writing backlog, here.

This wee beaut is called #TectonicShawl, after the way the centre buckles and ruffles under pressure. It sure is cozy!

For a while there a few years ago, I was involved in the development of a similar show for Irish telly. I was gonna be an on-screen judge and everything.

Nut every idea these non- knitting tv developers suggested, I had to knock down, because they were impractical or would not go down well.
🧶
everything I heard about this show so far has been negative but I'm here for the knitting drama 🤭
The new British competitive knitting show hosted by Olympic diver Tom Daley has been denounced by the knitting community of the Shetland islands for its imprecise portrayal of fair isle knitting and negative attitude toward a technique known as steeking

I made this, then showed it to my guy, and he didn't get it.

But then, he doesn't knit, or crochet, or craft at all, so... I'm asking you all.

Is this funny to you? 🧶
(no offence to quilters. I think you're v. talented people with a fab sense of humour)

My unconventional crochet shawl blocking spot. 🧶

Anything to keep the dog from trotting all over it, right? 🤷🏼‍♀️😇

Our plan here is to put christmas hats on our skeletons to make them seasonal.
boundless contempt for the people who leave their halloween skeletons up for three months

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! 🧶

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.
