it took a good lot of patience & some trial and error, but TL Yarn Crafts' learn to crochet video is where it finally 'clicked' for me! hopefully you find it just as helpful 😊 youtu.be/zzWX2dx8ufc?...

seriously can't wait to see what color palette she goes for this time with the main happy place line since the originals are so stunning 😭 gotta get my hands on apricity one of these days too, it looks sooo bouncy!! hmm maaybe she'll release some new patterns to go with the new happy place colors? 🤔

FOUR BOOMS FOR THE EPCOT MEXICO STRAWBERRY FIELDS MARGARITA it was very tasty, sweet but unfortunately there was a casualty of today's nasty windy weather...... RIP to the gummy bear attached to a not-pictured umbrella pick 😔🕊️

- so mileage may vary on that front. most of the colors are sold out rn but toni's confirmed there will be a restock with a brand new color palette in the future 😈

YESYESYES PLS i'd so love to see your beautiful work! and ofc will totally share mine once getting to it after busting the current massive wip pile lmao. hp has been generally nice to work with, def splitty but i also only center pull & have heard it's less splitty working from the outside -

YESS every pattern she puts out is just gorgeous! 🤭 the bahama blankie is SOOOO pretty, your niece is going to LOVEE IT! the wrap version is on my to-stitch list to knock out a bunch of DK minis. & thank you so much, you really can't go wrong with toni's happy place yarn heheh

THREE (out of five) BIG BOOMS on steakhouse 71's heron vodka gimlet. probably not a true gimlet imo with the addition of lemonade & chartreuse green liqueur, so one BOOM removed for this probably being closer to a glorified vodka lemonade. good as hell though ngl

🤔 if we math this right, new hooks actually help in using up the yarn stash... making it a productive purchase if stashing down is your goal. seems worth the purchase bahahaha!

heheh, a new excuse to go hook (or yarn) shopping is always welcomed 🤭 wishing you a lovely rabbit hole down into the world of tunisian crochet!

thank you!! 💖
totally agree tunisian appears so daunting at first - but it's very rhythmic and much simpler than it looks. in my opinion toni's tutorials make it quite accessible to start, she's got a fantastic stitch sampler blanket pattern with video accompaniments that's worth a look 🙂

absolute DOOM on the hawkes' grog in the animal kingdom avatar land this afternoon. app said this has notes of peach and apricot, but i only picked up notes of rotten shrek's piss. i've had better beers poured from questionable looking kegs in frat house basements back in college days.

five big BOOMS for the passionfruit margarita in the crew's cup at yacht club resort

treat yourself to some new nice squishy wool!! i'm really not much of a bulky weight & up person but make the rare exception for wool ease thick & quick 😍 a macrame tote sounds beautiful yet painstaking - i admire your resolve to finishing it!🫰

thank youuu 💕 the yarn is lion brand wool ease thick & quick, held double. colors from bottom up are blackstone, claret, & spice!!

he's so Ears
