Hi all! Some of my favourite things are:

🔹 Crochet (my main special interest 😂)
🔹 Tunisian crochet
🔹 Freeform crochet

🔹 Fantasy & sci-fi
🔹 Books
🔹 Music (rock & heavy metal mostly!)
🔹 Alt/goth/hippy vibe
🔹 Art
🔹 Crafts
🔹 Meditation/mindfulness
🔹 Photography
Chronic health issues + some extra health issues in the past few months + disability benefits worries + the general dystopian crap going on in the UK and the rest of the world. Rest is rebellion right?! I need a break and to focus on self care, kindness and compassion.

Slipknot and stitch 🤟🏻🧶

It's a heavy metal #crochet session today! I've not picked up this Tunisian crochet project for a bit - it's such a relaxing project to work on 😊

I promise I will post some finished #crochet soon! But in the meantime here's another #wip I started 😂

I'm remaking the Shark Tank top as I wasn't happy with it the first time - I'll be altering it to hopefully fit my body better 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I just love this yarn and stitch combo so I have to try! 🧶

This is such a cool shrug!! 💖🧶
The Defrosting Skelly Shrug pattern is now available for all those who would like to purchase! I'm so incredibly thankful for all those helped me in this pattern making journey and am already planning on the next pattern to release! But first, I'm gonna relax and enjoy some casual garment making 💕

I was struggling with overwhelm & lost my motivation to crochet for a good couple of months. But in the last couple of weeks since doing a test for a 'wonky spiral' that Lisa Doherty (Freeform crocheter) designed I've got my crojo back! Here's the spiral & others I've been inspired to create.

The freeform #crochet guide I tested wonky spirals for is now out on Ravelry!

Wonky Freeform Spirals pattern by Lisa Doherty
This freeform-ish guide starts with a stitch-by-stitch for a wonky (irregularly shaped) spiral, then eases crocheters into improvising their own spirals with their own favorite stitches and ideas. Con...

Exhausted. But not as much as yesterday when after 12 hours in bed I went back to sleep for 2 hours... Got up & had breakfast, crocheted a little and listened to a podcast and then went for a 2 hour nap... And had an early night!! Felt like someone gave me a sleeping potion!!! #mecfs #chronicillness

Wowsers, this is gorgeous!! 💖
The second theme in cosy.crochetchallenge's Spring Challenge is Spring Flowers! So I decided to make a mushroom hat that represents the forests in early spring here. Swipe to see my inspiration!

Government plans to cut disability benefits could drive more costs on to cash-strapped councils, according to campaigners and local government officials

The Disability Policy Centre estimates the cuts would add £1.2bn of costs for the NHS and social care

Councils and NHS could face millions in extra costs due to disability benefit cuts

If any UK peeps have the energy to email your MP about the disability benefits cuts please do. We don't all have the energy to do so and I'm scared. If the changes go ahead I won't even be able to afford my rent nevermind the things that help keep my health as stable as possible...

Does anyone else relate to feeling like you can either do it all or do nothing?🥲Learning how my brain is wired has come with accepting some days I can be an absolute boss whirlwind and others I am a puddle when I need to recharge 🐌

Has anyone tried using Tunisian crochet with a knitting pattern?

I was told when I learned that this is possible but I've never tried it! As a non knitter I don't know how complicated it would be...
