Making 50 granny squares for table decorations for our wedding. Getting a little bored of my current pattern book. Anyone have recommendations? Preferably free online or rentable on Libby. #crochetsky

I really hate blocking things, but the finished aesthetic is quite pleasing. 4 panels from TL Yarncrafts Tunisian holiday blanket sampler. #tunisiancrochet
This photo shows four Tunisian crochet panels being blocked on a bright yellow foam mat with a black grid and playful sun illustrations, helping ensure uniform sizing and shape: • Top left: A square panel worked in Tunisian knit stitch using a solid light gray yarn. The fabric has a smooth, knit-like texture with subtle vertical ridges that mimic stockinette. • Top right: A panel in Tunisian mesh stitch, worked in a heathered charcoal yarn. The open, airy texture gives a netted appearance with visible eyelets throughout. • Bottom left: A blue and white mosaic-style pattern, likely created using color changes and Tunisian simple stitch. It forms a bold, geometric design with staggered horizontal blocks. • Bottom right: A brown and slate blue panel with a plaid or grid effect, achieved with vertical and horizontal color striping, possibly with surface slip stitches or carried yarns. Each square is pinned to the mat for blocking, contributing to a visually diverse and texturally rich Tunisian crochet blanket.

Just finished this cowl scarf! Adapted from TL Yarncrafts's block stitch tutorial.
This image shows a folded, Tunisian crocheted scarf laid on a wooden surface. The scarf features a textured grid pattern made with alternating rows and vertical stripes in two colors: a dusty rose pink and a soft slate gray. The grid creates small rectangular windows of gray framed by the pink yarn, giving it a structured, almost basket-weave effect. The yarn appears to be thick and soft, suggesting a cozy, warm fabric. The edges are neatly finished with a border in the same color pattern.

My great great great uncle didn't smuggle arms into Ireland just to have some little shit erase history.

Organized all my loose leaf tea into uniform containers with color coded names. The nation may be in chaos, but my house sure won't be.
A wooden kitchen cabinet with an open shelf. Inside the cabinet are several stacked plastic containers with white lids, each labeled with handwritten names like “Montana Spice.” To the left, there are two red bags of Peace Coffee, labeled “Decaf Morning Glory” in white text. On the right, there is a box of brown coffee filters and a clear plastic bag. A countertop with three stacks of plastic containers with white lids, labeled with handwritten names such as “Jasmine Green,” “Montana Spice,” and “Spicy Fig.” In the background, there is a glass jar with a metal lid containing crystallized honey and a red French press.
