Technique Surface Embellishment

Crochet is already magical, but using BLO rows to create built-in embellishment paths feels like unlocking a secret cheat code.

My Owlbear pattern will be released on Dec 1st on my Patreon - and it uses this technique. www.patreon.com/c/myshinycas...

I am SO excited to share my first professional crochet pattern - the Kobolds! These mischievous little adventurers are ready to join your crafting quests.

This pattern is available exclusively to my Patreon supporters at: www.patreon.com/myshinycastle

I hope to see you all at Redmond Pride this Saturday. I will be there supporting the Queer Craft Collective.

I have put together some crochet bee kits for several different Pride flags ($18 for enough supplies to make 3 bees, plus I am available to assist with them at my social crafting meetups)

…and just like that, it is no longer MY bag.

I finished my granny square bag tonight. I was going to sew it together diagonally but I like it better this way. It fit perfectly to line it with an existing pink canvas bag too. It took only 1 skein of the red heart granny square yarn to make the 14 squares and the flower too.

Don’t trust the kitties while painting, even if they are being super cute. Not surprisingly, I discovered that Pipp really doesn’t like his paws washed.

I am happy that I managed to get the first coat of paint finished on John’s new office this weekend.

We put up this vinyl mural about 13 years ago, but it is time to retire the nursery and turn this into John’s new office.

I am starting to capture the character of this little critter, but I think she needs a few minor changes yet. Stay tuned.
