After too many hours it's done!

It came out a treat. Would do it again after a break. Tunisian Crochet 🧶 is becoming my favourite form of crochet.

Just hit the 75% mark for this project. Coming along so well. I'm really pleased with the interplay of the variegated yarn and the green border.

So I've started a new crochet 🧶 project using this.

Since this was spun and dyed by a rural woman, I figured I'd keep the trend and for the contrast stitch I used a nice green yarn from the co-op Manos del Uruguay.

Keeping it rural and empowering women in rural areas.

This time of the year, before the clocks change and weather is cooling down is perfect for the morning commute.

I am spending time in regional Victoria for the long weekend, and decided to head to the local farmers market before brunch.

I was not expecting to find a local maker and their gorgeous collection of hand dyed yarn 🧶. I made sure to support local business.

Coffee, #crochet 🧶, and an hour long interview between 2 old married men and the new management at #yogscast.

A perfect morning ❤️😊

The past couple of days I've been off work due to illness. A great excuse to try a new crochet 🧶 style, it has taken a few restarts to get to this point. But it makes sense now. 😅

Practical crochet 🧶 project complete!

I learnt some lessons when making the mesh panel (making accidental triangles instead of squares 😅).

Only 2 months in and I'm starting to appreciate the patience needed.

Pattern by two of wands - french market bag.

4.5mm hook + 400m 8ply cotton.

Crochet 🧶 is great for lunch at work, keeps my ADHD brain focused and time to reset before the afternoon chaos.

1.5mm hook + 3ply crochet thread.

But then I discovered motifs and #microcrochet and I started to shrink. I think so far its going well!

Moved from 2mm hook + 4ply crochet thread to 1.5 hook + embroidery thread to 1mm hook + 60wt cotton, with last nights effort at 0.5mm hook + cotton sewing thread.

I started with the usual scarves and shawls.
