Some projects are harder to capture in a picture than others. Like this rectangular stole. Did I mention it has glitter in it? Today is a day that asks for glitter to get through it.

#makeShitMonday, #crochet edition...

I'm making good progress on the cat scarf for my ex-roomie - despite multiple rounds of frogging!

My mom gave me a gorgeous new set of [Dyak Craft crochet hooks](dyakcraft.com/shop/p/tunisian-), so I switched from my old bamboo hook to the equivalent new hook - and the action is totally different, so my stitch tension is different, so I ended up frogging my entire first 11 rows and starting over. 😭

(It made a nice diversion on a rainy morning during our caving trip to TN last week...)

Then on the way home I was listening to an interesting podcast and missed a cat leg, which cost me another round of frogging. So now I check each row when I finish it, and double-check before I break the yarn and switch colors. 🙄 But despite all that, it's starting to look scarf-like!

Need some spring flowers?

#Crochet pattern "Branches with flowers" by designer Natalia Erkhova from #Ukraine

They look so joyful, especially thinking about where the designer is living.

Somehow, I always end up posting my throwbacks on every day except Thursday, and here we are yet again lol. In my early crochet days (circa 6+ years ago) one of my hyperfixations was magic blankets and other "magic" items. Double stranding alternating colors? Heck yeah, absolutely my jam lol!

I got the idea from Kim's Magic Blankets on FB who, in turn, got it from the Zooty Owl blog (only, Kim took it way farther). This is a great idea for when you have leftover scrap yarn, fugly yarn, etc and you can also just make color changing yarn cakes as a fun project. The sky is the limit!

I've used this method to create everything from blankets to mats for my dogs to market bags to scarves, cowls, and beanies. The only difference is that I prefer HDC over DC. I definitely recommend trying it if you haven't already 😃!

Maaliskuun ruudut työn alla. Luin JS&MN jälkeen vielä Clarken novellin The Wood at Midwinter joka olikin niin lyhyt että se tuli mentyä läpi yhdeltä istumalta. Molemmat nyt ruutuina, vielä tehtävänä kuukauden kesken jätetyt ennen kuin voin siirtyä huhtikuuhun ja Ancillary Justiceen.

Maaliskuun viimeisenä päivänä luin siis kaksi kirjaa, mitkä olivatkin koko kuukauden anti. Tämä kuu jo paljon normaalimmalla tolalla. 😄
