October 3, 2026 🧶 All three versions.
Three velvet crochet scrunchies: one all rainbow yarn, one with a navy blue ring in the middle, and one with a navy border.

October 1, 2026 🧶 I started making scrunchies without a plan. Just an idea that had been running through my head that I finally tried. But the shop is holding a birthday event this weekend, and aren’t these rainbow sprinkle colors just perfect for a birthday party? Sometimes things just line up.

That’s what I thought too, it looks like confetti or sprinkles 😁

September 28, 2026 🧵 I continued my experimentation on the butterflies, comparing two ways of adding a pearl to the earrings. I ended up using a third method. In other news, the cats are not pleased with my new cat-resistant photography setup.

September 27, 2026 🧵 The egg and bacon earrings sold the day I put them in the shop. The buyer mentioned she normally wears gold-tone jewelry, but liked them enough to make an exception. Long story short, I was able to swap her out for gold-tone hooks, and she loves the earrings even more now 🥰🥰🥰

September 26 🧶 Crochet scrunchie in action. Am I obsessed? Yes. Am I anxiously awaiting the delivery of 30 hair elastics and three skeins of rainbow velvet yarn? Also yes.

Oh yeah, I‘ve definitely had times when something just refuses to photograph in a way that does it justice.

September 24, 2026 🧶 Tried my hand at crochet scrunchies. The pink one is version two, and it’s fully twice as heavy as the green one.

September 22, 2026 🧵 I tried a different approach to blocking: pin first, while the cotton is more flexible, then get it wet. It… did not go well. Very messy.

September 20, 2026 🧵 While I was crocheting outside, an acorn fell right into my supply box. I made this crochet acorn and wanted to photograph the two acorns together. But I can’t find the real one. Easy come, easy go?

September 19, 2026 🧵 I freehanded this while watching episode one of Neagley. I think it wants to be a necklace, not an earring.

September 18, 2026 🧵 There’s a neat quirk of how slip-stitching works that allows one stitch to protrude while the rest form a continuous chain. A neat and useful quirk.

September 17, 2026 🧵 I’d call this “fried egg version 2”, but it’s more like version 20. Still not quite what I’m going for, but getting there.

September 13, 2026 🧵 I’ve been trying new patterns this weekend. This Christmas tree came out a lot better than the pansies. I added some chains to the original pattern, and when I make it again I need to add still more chains. There are a lot of stitches crammed in where they simply don’t fit.

September 11, 2026 🧵 The market went well. I sold most of my shamrock earrings… and none of my shamrock keychains. Go figure. The mitten-maker next to me also did well, which was not at all a given in the summer heat.

September 8, 2026 🧵 Today the weather was in that narrow window between sweaty hands and stiff hands, so I got to crochet outside on a park bench. 10/10, would recommend 😁

September 7, 2026 🧵 I haven’t made mismatched earrings in too long. The bacon is freehanded and the egg is mostly freehanded. There’s things I’d change if I make them again, but not bad for a first attempt.

September 6, 2026 🧵 A pair of peppers. It’s been a while since I last made these, so of course I tinkered with the pattern. I’ve stopped doing running color changes in favor of needle-joining the old color and attaching the new one. It‘s a small amount of extra work for a much cleaner result.

September 4, 2026 🧵 Some assembly required. A lot of assembly required, actually. These are completely done except for the final step of turning them into earrings, which task I‘ve been neglecting for a hot minute.

September 2, 2026 🧵 The blunt-tip needles for weaving in my ends came in a pack of six. I thought, what ever am I going to do with six identical needles? I’m now on needle five 🫤

The original pattern has beautiful shaping but also a technical flaw: two thread/yarn ends coming out of the end of the stem that could instead come out of the main body of the motif and be easier to weave in.

August 28, 2026 🧵 I’m always fiddling with patterns. The flower with the pink petals has a more attractive transition between the middle ring and the petals, I feel.
