Finished #weaving my scarf today. Added a twisted fringe that’s the same color as the warp.

Such a relaxing process!

Thank you! The yarn was a joy to weave.

Putting aside my crochet for awhile to #weave a new scarf. Using a nice purple, King’s Court (Eclipse Knits), for the warp, & Wild Blueberry (Bad Sheep Yarn) for the weft. Both yarns are superwash merino/nylon. Will be interesting to see how this turns out as I let Wild Blueberry do its thang.

Disappointed in the relatively tepid Dem response (with a few exceptions) to Trump’s lawlessness in blue cities. Not looking for an Obama Jesus. Just someone who can use their brains for Good.

Started another afghan without a single granny square. Using up all the cool color singletons. This one is for my daughter who is going through a rough time right now. Hope to finish by fall.

Needed to clear my mind this week after the big push to finish my square a week afghan and so have been #crocheting dishcloths. Love that you can finish in mere hours. Now to crochet a box or two to hold my yarn!

A project that caught my eye in May and finished today. Doing a square a week competed with doing a border. Learned several techniques I hadn’t run across. Expanded my crochet library. Recording the good and bad is hard. Two days to recoup artsy energy. 2025 you were a mixed bag. #crochet

Finished attaching the corners and borders on my afghan. Now comes the blocking and steaming the finished piece. Oh, the excitement!

This week’s #crochet square is the last square for this afghan: Thank You. It’s a pattern by Janie Crow/Crowfoot. Opened my eyes with her techniques, her color palette, amazing. So thank you, thank you, thank you. Now, onto finishing this up before New Years!

Sidney under the tree. All my dogs seem to really like the tree skirt my mom made.

Coming up on the home stretch on my afghan! Finished the corner squares.

My original inspiration: an airplane engine (taken at the Aviation Space Museum).

This week’s #crochet square: Ho ho ho. Next to the last square. Based it on my daughter’s elementary school Christmas decor from the 80’s.

This week’s #crochet square: Christmas Depression. For some reason, I get depressed around Christmas. But only two more squares to go! This weekend I will come up with the look for the corners of my blanket. Here’s a photo of my work station where I have taken over the dining room.

Good call!

This week’s #crochet square: Lawful Neutral Cranberries. Just had to use this red.

This past week’s #crochet square: Christmas Tree. I eBay’d me an aluminum Christmas tree in the early 2000’s. In honor of that tree that I’ll put up tonight, my square…

This week’s #crochet square: Sidney’s Blanket. I always crochet a new blanket for my dogs. Here’s Sid’s Blanket for my little ray of sunshine.

This week’s #crochet square: Sidney. We went to the Humane Society and picked up the oldest pup there. Sidney is 13 yrs old, blind and deaf, weighing in at 7 lbs. So the square is black & gold (Sidney), red for the pain he’s suffered, blue for surrounding love we give that good little boy.

This week’s #crochet square: Last of the Fall Leaves & Rain. I think this reflects the sadness of losing my little Ricky. The house is so quiet.

Thank you!

Forgot the most important part of the red scarf I’m weaving…the weft is wool yarn from the Faroe Islands, the warp is 8/4 Maurice Broussard yarn. Yes, experimenting!

#Weaving a red scarf. Should finish up this weekend, just in time for the delivery of new yarn from Bad Sheep Yarn. So excited!

This week’s #crochet square: Fall Leaves. Gorgeous colors that I view from my window.

Halloween tonight!

Completed 7 rows…yea! The gray squares at the top are the weeks before I began. Very colorful despite the gray. Only 2 more rows and 4 corners to go.

This week’s #crochet square: Ricky. I’ve put away his toys, blankets, food and water bowls. Still waiting to hear his tippy-tappy as he comes down the hall.

This square was so hard to do, but it looks how I feel this week.
