Sneaky Peaky! #Crochet #crochetsky #crochetaway #afghan #grannysquare #grannysquaresrock #commissionsopen #sun #moon #stars
Kari's current commission, laid out. It's a crocheted granny square afghan. The squares are alpine green with cream crescent moons, burgundy with orange and yellow sun's, and golden stars in a cream square. They are joined with golden using a flat stitch that has a braided look. It is zoomed in as the full blanket is still under construction.

I've temporarily forgot social media exists. 💜🫂🙃
Less scroll time, due to AuDHDy 🧠 hyper-focus on hyper-drive.😆 I chose a flat stitch join, ties in w/ detail stitching on 🌞 & ⭐️. I 😍 it! Finished 9 squares by 12 rows in no time. Now to border! Moss? 🤔 #crochet #crochetsky #crochetaway #tangledtales
A wooden crate that has rolls of granny square stripes neatly tucked in it. On the back of the crate, there are some squares already joined. The crochet work is in green red yellow and white and is a motif of sun moon and star squares. Granny squares joined with a flat stitch join method The squares are green with white star, red with orange and yellow sun, and white with yellow stars. Joined with the same yellow as sun and star. The work is draped on a basket of squares. Its still being worked on.

Almost join time! 108 grannys waiting for me to decide on which method! 😆 I am leaning towards a zig-zag in the Mustard color, but invisible join with the Cream color is also a contender. 🤔 What's your favorite join method? #grannysquares

2016: Akaka Falls, Big Island Hawaii. 🌴😍
#bigisland #Hawaii #waterfall #scenic #photography #akakafalls #timelinecleanse #waterfall #westcoastkin #westcoastphotography
Akaka falls on the big island of Hawaii is a very tall waterfall. The strong stream of water plunges down with a roar to the pool below. The falls are surrounded by thick trees and foilage that cover the surrounding hills. This view required a mild to moderate hoof up stairs and paved path, but is more than worth it.

A black #dog is half on, half off of a gray sofa. His back legs still curled to the side, in the sleeping position he had been in, pondering to having an load.exe error in the main drive....as he is staring blankly ahead, front paws on the ground. #dogsky #dogsofbluesky

Shot on the diagonal: Tortie cat lays on her side, on a bed covered with a blue, yellow and white floral bedspread. Her yellow gaze is locked on the camera. A front paw stretched outward, crossed lazily over the other, conveys her overall mood of relaxed and curious as to what mischief the hooman is up to.

I did, however, have a rust colored dog! My #soul dog, Willow! This was one of her trips to the coast. She wasn't much for the surf, but did like exploring the dunes! Miss that face so much. #acoloradaypril #rust #goldenretriever #Willow #dogsky #dogsofbluesky #beach

Man I forgot the side by side with all three. Well here they be!
Three #crochet #stars in soft gold. One is crumpled right off the hook. Next is an unblocked star flattened out. Last is a blocked star. Neat, flattened and ready for its background stitches.

When able to block... always block! Look at the difference in these 🌟!! One is curled. The other was blocked and is a bit larger and flat. Ready to be set in a cream background!

From the Archives: Chonky #Cat Stitch 4.5'x 6' throw for my youngest last Yule. 100% of "Rescued"(Thrifted) Bulky weight yarn, so 30 rows of #feline shenanigans make it *weighted* 😆 Great on 🌨🧊 nights! #adoptdontshop #crochet 🧶 #crochetartist #cat #TangledTales #etsyseller #crochetsky #crochetaway
Closeup of Cat Stitch blanket in natural colors of cream, burnt orange, tan and marbled gray . It shows rows of #crochet work that has the appearance of cats stacked on top of each other. You can make out 2 front paws draped over the cat below them. There little head with pointy ears reaches up to the next row of kitties 😸 😄 ❤️ The cat blanket laid out on a drive [on a clear plastic sheet] drying. It has a simple grass green border that runs along all four sides of the rectangled shapes throw. Total of 30 rows of 🐈 🐈 🐈 felines!

Oh Hai! 😊 I made these! Thanks for tagging me Leyna 💙🫂💜 so many beautiful people and things to ❤️!
Gradient colored #crochet triangle shawl that is teal at the top that fades slowly to a deep navy edging. The design is a scalloped shell stitch. The yarn is Hobbii Cotton King weight 2. It's hanging on a faded wooden fence. Rainbow hued #crocheted asymmetrical triangle wrap/scarf. Yarn is Lion Brand Mandala Bonus Cake in Gnome. It's being held by it's corners by a woman who is facing away from the camera on a desk which overlooks a river. The wrap has caught the wind and flutters gently behind her, giving her a cape look. An #animigurumi style #crochet Angler Fish made out of blue hued scraps of yarn. It is laying on its side on a gray blanket. It has a fat purple bottom lip, and big fangs... But is decidedly adorable...not scary. A variety of brightly colored crochet cowls laying flat on a gray blanket. Blue and green, teal, raspberry, rainbow. They look cozy and soft. They are great for #resistance #protest #resist gear! Won't get tangled and you can pull it up a bit to warm a nose! ❤️

I love my new blocking board! It has succulents painted on it, so it's pretty when not in use! The comm. grannys are coming out awesome! Can't wait to see them all laid out! 😍 I am already pondering: do a seamless join? Block in borders. 🤔 #crochet #tangledtales #crochetaway #crochetsky
Granny square wood blocking board standing upright. It has pegs in it, in various locations. On the left, are a set of 3 bluish grannys hanging by a corner, on separate pegs. One has a moon, the next a sun and lastly a star. The left side of the border holds several alpine green squares with cream crescent moon in the center of each. They will hang until dry, like the set of 5 alpine squares laid out on the table in front of the blocking board. They are now neatly "squared", which makes joining them easier, with a clearer finished look.

Annnd she's off! 🌞🌙 🌟 #crochet #commission blanket yarn came on Monday. Despite a busy few days I'm still halfway thru the #Moon squares! Yarn is Premier Basixs. Hook is my #OphireCrochet Hugglepuff House Cup, in G. Stay Tuned! #TangledTales #onestitchatatime #iloveloops 🧶 #crochetsky #crochetaway
A basket of caked yarn for a commission that Kari is working on. She is using Premier Basixs in Juniper, Burgundy, Orange, Mustard and Cream. Top of photo shows a granny square featuring a cream crescent moon surrounded by juniper green stitches that sits on the basket of caked project yarn. Bottom of photo shows a square in process. The green center surrounded by the creamy moon, looks to be complete and the maker is working on the next outer round. There is a size G crochet hook in the work. It is color blocks of black and yellow, and is by Ophire Crochet hooks. It is part of their House Cup series, this being a Hugglepuff version.

#mintgreen for #acoloradayPRIL this cozy cowl! Cool Mint - Cold Weather Cowl | Mint, Yellow, & Teal Acrylic Unisex Cowl.
#crochet 🧶 #crochetartist #TangledTales #forsale #mindfulcrochet #mint #onestitchatatime #iloveloops #teal #itmakesmehappy #crochetsky #crochetaway #makersgonnamake #etsy #cowl
A crochet cowl laying flat, diagonal on a white background. Brisk, cool shades of mint with just a splattering of pale yellow. This is a standard-ish sized cowl, that sits closer to the neck, at 12.5" laying flat, or a circumference of around 25". It is just a hair over 7" tall, so it is easy to keep tucked in a jacket, or even when wearing a hooding or pullover/jumper. Given the more dense stitch style and thickness of the yarn, this will be best for colder days, however it is 100% acrylic. This style of cowl is my own pattern design. It features ribbing on both sides, making it pretty much the same fit no matter which way you pull it on and a dense, textured stitch, keeping you warm, and giving your nose a place to duck, when needed! Why a cowl? Unlike traditional scarves, cowls don't have loose ends that need to be tied or managed. This makes them travel friendly, super convenient and easy to tote along if you are unsure of what weather the day might bring!

A woman standing confidently with a black dog at her side. She stands near center frame, clearly the focus. Hands on hips, slightly open stance, she looks proudly over her right shoulder, towards the pacific ocean. She is on a wet beach that is reflecting the sky above. There is a faint rainbow spanning the width of the photo. It is just visible, as it pushes through the wispy, post-storm clouds. The text "I believe in rainbows 🌈 NOT lists to Managers! Wanna find yours? Post YOUR #5GOODThings!" Is framing the top and bottom of the photo.

For: #BlueSkyArtShow Prompt: #dream. If we fail to act? Alaskan #Glaciers like this one, along the inside passage, will be nothing more than a dream. #climatechangeisnotahoax
#Tangledtales #Alaska #photography #westcoastkin #westcoastphotography
A picture taken from the outside deck of the Jewel of Seas. In the center of the deep blue Alaskan inside passage waterway there is a large glacier that spans between Ridgelines. Smaller calved glacial chunks litter the mid and foreground. Light blue skies with fluffy streaks of cloud cover create a dimmer tone to the scene. Fitting for the grim message, of declining glacial masses worldwide.

Sold my first crochet item on #Etsy! I've gifted makes for almost a decade and done 1 or 2 commissions, but this is my first sale of a pre made item. *happy dance* gonna have to change my profile photo! ;) Included is a handwritten thank you note, and my enduring appreciation! #Crochet #TangledTales
