Terrible news, fiber art 🧶 friends! I made a mistake last night and have just frogged 21 rows. 😞🥲
Tonight I’ll get back crocheting ✨correctly✨. Feels like a Star Trek Night. Or maybe Ari Aster? Are those similar feelings? 😆

Here is last night’s work on the last parasol of 2025 for me. The lily stems are just becoming visible in this filet crochet pattern.
Tonight I plan to get thru the grey and white stripes of the Asexual Pride Flag. It’s a lofty goal, but I have some good movies to listen to while I work. 🧶 💜

One last parasol for 2025 is a brand-new pattern featuring lilies in filet crochet in the colors of the Asexual Pride Flag. 💜🩶🤍🖤
This hook is 1.25mm in case you’re curious. This circle is not quite 3” wide.
Also visible is a second wip bc why not? It’s a 60s color palette gay pride flag lampion.

Yay! I’m proud of this one. Went with a bright red 30” parasol frame, but didn’t get much of that in the pic.
I love my fiber art effigy to Sol. I’ll be sad to sell it next year at a market. 🥺
Now I’m making lampions and Krampuses for SLC Pride’s Winter Bazaar 12/20. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤

Adding more flames to the sun pattern I found on Pinterest so it’ll be big enough for a 30” parasol frame. Do I love this one because it’s getting cooler?
Didn’t say it yesterday, but I’m so grateful for crochet 🧶 and the 11 people who see my posts. 💜 You’re the best & I wish you happiness.

This pattern I decided “Hey, this would look great with picots at every single join.” Does it? Sure. Will I do it again? Ehh…
Beautiful & complex shadow. 👍
I hope you’re having a great day.
If you’ve been thinking of buying a parasol I’ll have 30% off big parasols this weekend on my website. 💜

Today on Trans Day Of Remembrance we remember and honor the lives lost to transphobia, hate, and violence.
Trans people deserve to live, to thrive, and to be who they are.
Trans rights are human rights.

Hi Bsky! 👋🏼
Found this pattern on Pinterest. If you know the original designer, I’d love to give them $$.
Did I follow the pattern & forget to add a hole for the parasol frame? Yep! Am I gonna try to force the frame thru the tiny center? You know it.

I haven’t forgotten you, Bsky. 💜
I also haven’t finished stringing the beads for my latest gay pride parasol. My apologies.
I was distracted by a beautiful new 8-pointed star pattern to which I added picots. 4000+ picots. I do love to crochet picots, but maybe not THIS much. Oops.

I think it’s gong to work! Super hopeful gay pride crochet!!
This is the last blocking before I finish & put it on the frame. I’m thinking I’ll add 2 more rounds and likely bead the edge so it drops down over the frame arms like a 70s lamp.
Then I should write down what I did so I can do it again.

Well, this pattern ended 8 rounds ago, so I’m making it up to accommodate a 48” parasol frame. Hope it works out bc I hate frogging whole mandala art doilies!!

Still working this new pattern for tonight’s NLCS game. Hope it’s half as good as last night’s game. ⚾️
The blue color is sneaking in to my work now.
An LGBTQIA2S+ group in SLC may have a Winter Bazaar, so hopefully I’ll get to be involved!

Brand new patten for the NLCS game tonight. I don’t have a favorite of the Dodgers-Brewers, both teams play great baseball.
This pattern isn’t self-drafted. It’s printed in Cyrillic, so if you want the title and author, msg me. I’m quite excited about making something new-new.
