Am I the last person who didn’t watch ‘Lost’ series? I am in season 2 and I am hooked.
And I need reading glasses. And for knitting too :D It hurts my head when I crochet or knit. And I was thinking why I don’t enjoy my loved hobbies… Until I figured it out. Doctor appointment done.

"So I cleaned up my craft room and put everything in its 'proper place' and now I can't find a darn thing I need! 😅 Guess my artistic chaos wasn't so bad after all... actually helps me work faster! Anyone else's creativity thrive in a bit of mess?

Finally I finished a sweater! I love stockinette a lot, but I played around small details and this time I tried different neckline edging and added embroidery #knitting #wool #handmade
What I noticed at the end, I can wear it inside and out.

Playing with fire and burning yarn fibers. Wondering what yellow residue appears after burning..is it lanolin?

I'm not sure what's more frustrating, the fact that AI-generated crochet and knit patterns are flooding the market or that people can't seem to tell the difference...

☀️❄️ Greetings from sunny but chilly Fethiye!
These little worry worms have been my perfect procrastination-busting companions today.

Sometimes the smallest makes bring the biggest smiles. Anyone else have a go-to "palate cleanser" project?

I hope there is a light ahead!

With all the moving the house I totally missed the earthquake alarm (here in Fethiye, Turkey we don't feel small earthquakes really). Storm warning also came up from tomorrow onwards. Funny times.

I'm so happy I can share pictures and text here! 😊 By the way, the crocheted bag in the image is my creation. A friend took the photos for me. She is talented photographer.

Once again, I am so grateful for my knitting needle set. I had started a pair of socks a long time ago and was using different needles, which was a little bit bothersome until I switched to ChiaoGoo. After that, it went like a breeze. Gosh... a sweater is in progress - I'll show it tomorrow!

TELL ME YOU'RE A CROCHETER/ KNITTER WITHOUT TELLING ME...

Things we've all said that sound WAY different out of context:

🧶 "It's getting tighter as I go!"
🧶 "The bigger the hook, the faster it goes"
🧶 ""My hands are getting tired"
