Well I’ve gotten my baby granny square blanket stitched together and I’m working on striping around it. I think the big lesson I learned while looking at my old granny squares, my new ones to fill in the pattern and the rows around is that you really DO NEED to pay attention to the hook size!!…

I found this unfinished baby blanket… probably for my now 10 year old grandson!! Ooops!! My stitching and tension is awful!! But I decided I should finish it and donate it for a doll or pet blanket.

It’s interesting how much I’ve learned watching all the amazing instructors on YouTube!! #crochet

Loaf pose perfected after 17 years! He’s our remaining senior baby and he’s loving his only fur child status. He’s a snowshoe baby. The gorgeous handmade quilt was gifted to me in my Buy nothing community.

My latest creative outlet. Crocheting vs doom scrolling has taken over my life!! I have boycotted OG zuckland since the 20th and for the most part all socials… but I did miss Instagram because I missed the creative artistic community I’ve built there! All I see there is art ….

I’ve been working on this sampler crocheted blanket. It’s chenille yarn and I’m. Bit worried about how it will hold up but it’s soft and pretty

I’m loving crocheting this super soft blanket. Instructions on YouTube.

The alchemy that happens as you wait to open it is always fascinating and you have very little control of the outcome

Two of the photos are my ancestors. My great aunt & uncle first communion and my grandmother who bought her own car. A very feminist act for a woman in the 20’s.

My daughters are the same. One loves pink, is a hairstylist so lots of color in her hair, lots of tattoos, piercings but looks like a Disney princess/ villain when she enters the room. The other is a singer songwriter in nyc, wears neutral colors, never dyed her hair, no piercings and no ink.

I need help from knitting / crocheting friends 🧶
My hands get so achy for days and weeks after I decide to do either!?!? Any tips?

I decided to teach myself to knit a few weeks ago but had to take a break to see if my hands would heal.

My first knitting project! I need twigs for stems still.

I’m new here.. I figured smiling dog photos make everyone happy! I’m a mixed media artist, lifelong maker, feminist, fanatical dog mom who just had to say goodbye to this sweet boy. He was rescued and was my bff for 12 years.

I’m hoping to find a social site to chat with like minded humans - hate.
