I made a quick thing this morning, it looks like a sleeve, but it's for clothes (tights in this case).
It's the same as the one I sewed a few months ago, but crocheted!
It helps me to not use the same few pairs all the time

Here's a sneak preview of theirs year's Halloween costume, the pics are rubbish because the other half is out at the moment and I got the pics by taking a video that I couldn't see the framing of. #crochet #handmade #butterfly #virusshawl

I have an odd request - anyone that knows me in real life: if you have any spare party blowers, can I have a couple? I would like one for my costume to use as a probuscus but I don't want to buy 25 as I have no other use for them!

Halloween costume progress update! The wings are 95% done - I just need to visit a hardware store and get a couple of dowells to attach to the ends of the wings.
Antennae done, but I might re-do them a bit more sturdily nearer the time.

I've been quiet for a while. It's been due to a number of factors, the most prominent of which is poor health.

I need surgery, and I'm stuck in limbo. Please help.

2/2 and might modify a party blower to use as a probuscus. I've not 100% decided on how I'm going to construct the wings, but I have a couple of ideas that I'll try out once I've made the pieces of the wings.

2/2 It's part of my bid to use up my stash, which is going well (I have made a lot of things) and also not going well (I bought 10 balls of yarn for my Halloween costume but I probably only need 6).

It's September, the weather is cooler, the trees are shedding their leaves, and that can only mean one thing.... It's time to start my Halloween costume!

2/2 This evening I'll be taking time to think about this year's Halloween costume. I need to decide what I am going to be, and what (if anything) I will need to make for it, and what I need to buy!

It's amazing how our own brains will try to sabotage us when something great comes along! I hope that all goes well, and I'm sure they'll love you!
