I’m a 40-something yarn enthusiast, book collector, angry humorist, & sometimes decent human being. I try anyhow. Shying away from the political shit show for now. (she/her)

Brought in the hibiscus trees for the fall since it’s starting to get low temps at night. They’ve made the dining room so green & lush.

More popcorn added. I think I have a better alternate yellow than what’s shown here. But still… digging how it’s turned out. 🧶🍿

Forgove me. I’m SO TIRED! I thought at a glance this was one of those scrub daddy sponges that had just been though the absolute wringer. 😂

Still needs lots more popcorns on top but it’s a start. First major thing I’ve crocheted since July not including the test frog last month. Popcorn bucket beanie. Patterns from YouTube. Needs some adjustments for sizing. Hope for it to become a State Fair entry next year. 🍿🏆🤞

Doing some much needed house cleaning with a hazelnut candle burning. Windows open & getting in that cool air. Dogs are having a snooze & a snuggle while I’m busying around. It’s going to be a good day.

Another knitting project taken on. Crafters ADHD is real! Still working on the other feather & fan pattern. Just slower. This is in double stocking stitch for anyone interested. Makes for a nice doubled over, dense fabric. Going to be nice & toasty if this ever gets finished. 🤭

Have made 10in on my scarf. Thinking of changing out the striping colors to purple/black, then lime green/black, back to purple/black, & finish with orange/black just to mix it up. But that would only make the finished product 50in long when the average scarf is 60-70in. Hmmm… ideas?

Figured it out! Kinda. Well I’m moving ahead again at least. Tink’ed back a stitch & added one in since I knew what side I had lost it on. Got my count back & have progressed a few more sets of repeats. I don’t think you can tell where I goofed. Or I can’t see it at least. Calling this a win!

Time to put the knitting down. After finishing a row 4 I counted & I have 41 stitches when I should have 42. 😳 Gonna need to sleep on how to fix this. Like if I just add one stitch anywhere my next row 1, do you suppose it’ll be okay? 🧶 #knitsky

It’s coming along. Slowly. Can’t help thinking that it should be double the length if I hadn’t been an idiot earlier & ripppes it all out. 😅

Trying a feather & fan knitting pattern to mix things up. Completely fucked myself earlier. Was at the end of the 5th set of repeats & thought I’d messed up. Pulled the whole thing out only to realize I was SUPPOSED to have 3 stitches left on the needle at the end. Arg!!!

And here’s it written down from the video. It’s in shorthand so I don’t know how much sense it’ll make but shout if you have questions. 😁 In row 6 the (HDC picot…) bit is what’s referred to as “(work foot) in later rows.

Just chipped a sliver of tooth eating dinner. Now I’m gonna have to make a dentist appointment because where it chipped off is sharp. 🤨 What’s the stupidest thing you’ve done that resulted in dental work?

Well… it’s a result anyhow. Still loads of items to finish but the backsplash is (mostly) off that to-do list. If you’re a carpenter or avid DIY-er, please know that I am NOT either of those so look with a kind eye because this nearly killed me. 😘 #MaximumFuckingEffort #DIY 🛠️🪚🧰

So husband managed to cut the piece on the left last night & it turned out pretty damned good. Now it’s my turn to attempt to cut a panel to fit the space on the right. This is gonna take a minute to wrap my chicken nugget of a brain around. 🤔

I laid out what I have & if I don’t fuck up any other pieces I’ve got 5 spares. And I *think* I can get doubles out of the pieces that go under the windowsill. So that’ll stretch it a bit more.
