A crocheted flowstar for spinning overhead. Laid out on a red sheet, the yarn colors are red, white, blue, splashes of pink and purple, and a hint of green. Glows in the dark!

What's your top three creator goals right now? Good question! All mundane answers from me: 1. Fix my damn bot commands 2. Write up the ding dang tailored hexi pattern 3. Fix my ko-fi

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. #PNW #IslandLife #spider #spiderweb

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!
Trying to show the mandala vest in a mirror at camp. Pardon the day 3 hair lol!
Should pair well with a mushroom hat.

SCA costume stream today! 11am pst. And then much packing. I have to leave Thurs morning so I think I will be too busy packing on Wed to stream. Will miss you all for this long weekend! Be back w/pics. I'll be back Mon next week, but more likely to stream Tues & Wed. Then, packing for MoCoCon! 🎉

#crochetaway 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.
Oversized amanita mushroom hat with lights in the gillsFire themed vertical wave stitch hat, ambidextrous patternFlower hat reminiscent of the Preserver caps in ElfQuest Commissioned chook hat with a tassel on top. Worked in Tunisian knit stitch and bargello stitch edging. My best executed custom request.

Look at this little shit. Looking so cute in the first pic (toes!), he was readying for a fight, look at that little fist. He charged me after that second pic, so I charged him back and gave him a good scare. Don't run at me mf! He got up a tree and scolded me good lol! #nature #IslandLife #PNW

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.
Tailored hexi cardigan in spring colorsVery cozy. Worked in granny block stitch.

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.
Best shot, looks good from this side. Just a baby with its spots still!Strategic fern frond here

Wore my tall shoes, which makes me exactly as tall as the snacks aisle. Checkout lines were long, backed up into the snacks stacks.
Two people complimented my hair! Second outing with purple hair, better interactions in the big city! The local grocery checker at home has rolled his eyes at me, haha!

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.
Getting to Costco is a whole voyage

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! #crochet 🧶

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.

Imagine this shawl in black and those yarns. Anyways, I have a migraine today because of how big a day it was. I don't do that kind of thing regularly enough to handle it well, haha! I slept all the way until 5! Don't currently feel well enough to stream today though. We'll see. Prob not.
Believe this is Crafty Intentions Feather Wings Shawl.
I have some ideas though, may freehand my own rather than paying $8.50 for a pattern. I'm a cheapskate in the wrong ways cuz I'm $264 into the yarn already. ☠️

Rach 🧶 @ranchpesto.bsky.social · 10/08/2025
The haul. I spent too many monies but this will be beautiful once I do it. Destined to become a raven wings shawl. I need to find some dk black yarn cuz I sure damn well wasn't paying 30 a piece for solid black. Had pizza for lunch, they did gluten free! Also there were sheep! #Twitch #crochet 🧶
Feathers will be 1st 3 and last 3, accents in middle 2 colors. Solid black needed. Prob bought too much but better than too little. Feathered hat with remnants? Yes!Souvenir bag, quality canvas tote. Got autographs!Funghi pizza at Bombo restaurant in the Summit bldg. Onions, mushrooms, pecorino, mozz, truffle oil! Tasty!Black nosed sheepies! There were too many people so they were hiding in the corner. I get the feeling. Waaaay too many people.

Thank you very much! I had used some bleach in it 2-3 weeks ago, so I'm using a Sally reconstructing conditioner and just L.A. Looks strongest hold blue gel. Apply to sopping wet hair, then lay down to air dry overnight. Scrunch with fingers to position for volume and increased curl pattern.

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. 11am pdt twitch.tv/ranchpesto #twitch #crochet 🧶
Usually brushed out, I put my hair through the whole curly routine this time. Think I needed a bit more gel but this is a good start.

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! #IslandLife #PNW
