🧶 crochet WIP for this #WIPWednesday!
I’ve been enjoying the patterns in this design, which is Algea by Claudia Tesar. Enough variety to keep it interesting, but not too hard. Couldn’t resist this dark yarn at Rhinebeck.

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

I didn't have a chance to design a new cashmere cowl this year for Rhinebeck, which was a bummer. So here's a look back at the past 2 years of cowls: Skybridge and Newburg. I've just added both patterns to my Etsy and website.

I can't knit much right now, so I'm crocheting more... I found some deliciously dark yarn at Rhinebeck and started a Fall River shawl. And of course I can't stop making Octodot cowls - this one is sparkly!

Another full day, another bird. 🪶 Red-footed booby for #birdtober.
It seems very pleased with itself, which I like.

Rhinebeck or bust! Made a little sleeve progress on the plane today. I’m now in the correct time zone and I’ll have *something* to wear this weekend!

Slick and smooth banana slug for my last installment of #stilltober! On to a new set of prompts after this.
We hiked for quite a while before we got to see one of these recently. Always worth it.

Collards and cornbread and cast iron … it’s taken me a minute, but I think my southern friends have taught me something

Very excited that these crochet squares get to go to Paris with @mathgrrl.com, even though one has a big mistake - all part of the process!
Going to pick out one more motif soon and work it up. 🧶
