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.

Admittedly, I agree.
I spent time today crafting a smaller one instead.

Much nicer on my crochet hat.

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

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! 🧶

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.

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!

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)

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! 🧶

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.

This is not the skirt shape I'll be using, but I think a bodice looks more at home with some sort of skirt attached.
So, this is where I left off yesterday.
The darts on the right are inside out 💀 but the shape is good, so I'm happy.
Later, I'll sew the side seams, try it on, and adjust. 🧶🪡👗

This, by the way, is very much me designing the dress & trying out draping for the first time.
🧶
I've taken my first fabric draft, traced it onto brown paper, and added a 2 cm seam allowance all the way around. I err on the side of too much fabric.
I then cut those pieces out. Eeeeeeh!

Today is my birthday!
And I've decided to spend it making and crafting.
I've a list as long as my arm of "not-work" projects that I've been dying to crack into, and today's the day I'm going to indulge.
Project One.
Dress for a cousin's wedding.
