Perfect shot! From where I sit, the spiderweb is framed like a target on my archery backstop.
Archery footage to come one day soon but prob not today. Gotta get a little bit more practice in before the rains come.

Played yarn chicken to finish this mandala vest while camping. The yarn won. Few more inches of border to go!
I have one skein at home to steal a bit of yarn from in order to finish it up.
Nice lightweight outfit for the Ren Faire where it will be around 80 degrees! Oof!
So much fun, sooooooon!

Meet one of the newest MoCo LoCo stream team members! Yours truly!
Honored and delighted to be accepted! Truly great group of streamers led by the fabulous sibling duo of MoCoMade.
If my September wasn't already mostly spoken for, I'd say someone smuggle me into mococon! 🤣 Next year!

Theme this week is headwear. How to choose? I have so many great hats and can share 4 pictures on a post.
The mushroom, the fire hat, the flower hat, and a commission.

Finished a lovely spring themed sweater. Here is test version 4 of the tailored hexi cardigan.
One last little tweak and I will send it to testers. I was delighted with how many were eager to test it! I have 3 solid crocheters in the lineup.
Appears to take 5-6 full skeins of Big Twist for a L/XL.

Taking it easy today. Chilling on the patio when out of the bushes comes a fawn!
Snacking on my berries.
It has lived a very hard life already and has lost an eye, I don't begrudge it my pie filling.
No gory pics, but let me just say I did take some and it's very gross on the other side.

It was a big day Saturday, went on a Costco run and visited friends.
Down day Sunday, apologies! I was exhausted.
Won't be streaming Monday, but going to try playing Pandora on Discord again. If you like my stream tunes, they will be commentary free.
Will be back to streaming Tuesday at 11am pst.

I crocheted 🧶 the cutest and derpiest looking bird yesterday 🤣🐦⬛
It was great fun. Wings flip up or down, flying/roosting.
Today I'll finish this lounge cat. Needs ears, tail, stitching & sewing ends.
Then more hexi cardigan, longer & longer rows to do.
Hope 2 see you on Twitch, starting @ 11 pst.

My hands crocheted the cutest little black kitty cat stuffy!
Took 3 hours and then an earbud died and took the whole show with it. 🤣🔥
Computer's fine, lesson learned: let 2nd earbud come online before disconnecting the 1st.
Still giggling about getting raided! Rats!
Thanks @ninepointfive.live !

Made the cutest wee little bear on stream yesterday!
Traded for a delightful time with friends and some generosity. Have to bug its new owner for a destination, it is spoken for.
Freehanded, second stuffy I've ever made. Came out so cute! Should try this more often.
See U at 11 pdt!

Purple AND red today. Thought I'd have a little fun with the hair and it turned out great!
Arm feels really good after crocheting with pencil grip for a few days so I'm gonna use it or rotate grips very often.
Yay!
Honestly hasn't felt this good in a while.
Hope to see ya later, stream at 11 pdt.

I dont really style my hair properly curly very often, but today the curls go all the way to the top.
Will go with my fancy dress very nicely.
I have not touched a crochet hook since Sunday, so hopefully I can go on longer on stream today.

Harvest time!
This year's foxglove seed harvest gathered in a pan. It's sitting a while so the bugs depart. 😅
You can see the white and dark mix of seeds, they are white and purple flower seeds mixed together.
The blackberries are coming ripe and the blueberries are not far behind. Cobbler time!

I'll be at both Flock /and Fiber Festival events, Seattle and OR. Hoping to meet other Makers and Crafters a little too eagerly. Like a yarn nerd.
I'll be the one with purple-maroon hair and a granny block stitch sweater.
Face blindness is going to be a problem for me but I'll keep an eye out.

That was a hilariously choppy test stream, woops. Hahaha!
I gotta take a hint when I see 40% dropped frames.
In theory I get fiber next year, I'll save the VR for then.
Streaming VR = triple the data use of my usual streams and I've only got 2.9mb up on a good day right now, barely enough as it is.

There's a few of these relics near me. I remember when they took a dime and lots were still rotary.
Then it cost a quarter... 50c, then swiping a phone card was so modern, and then cell phones killed em.
Unsurprisingly, there was no dial tone. Or most of its parts lol!
