🧶 crochet WIP for this #WIPWednesday!
I’ve been enjoying the patterns in this design, which is Algea by Claudia Tesar. Enough variety to keep it interesting, but not too hard. Couldn’t resist this dark yarn at Rhinebeck.

I didn't have a chance to design a new cashmere cowl this year for Rhinebeck, which was a bummer. So here's a look back at the past 2 years of cowls: Skybridge and Newburg. I've just added both patterns to my Etsy and website.

I can't knit much right now, so I'm crocheting more... I found some deliciously dark yarn at Rhinebeck and started a Fall River shawl. And of course I can't stop making Octodot cowls - this one is sparkly!

One more bird for you… a Golden Plover in #watercolor for #birdtober. Fun to make all that speckled plumage!

Another full day, another bird. 🪶 Red-footed booby for #birdtober.
It seems very pleased with itself, which I like.

Rhinebeck or bust! Made a little sleeve progress on the plane today. I’m now in the correct time zone and I’ll have *something* to wear this weekend!

Slick and smooth banana slug for my last installment of #stilltober! On to a new set of prompts after this.
We hiked for quite a while before we got to see one of these recently. Always worth it.

Very excited that these crochet squares get to go to Paris with @mathgrrl.com, even though one has a big mistake - all part of the process!
Going to pick out one more motif soon and work it up. 🧶

Y’all, I need to borrow some of your finest knitting mojo. 🧶 Here’s my #rhinebecksweater as of right now - needs a few more inches in the body and something resembling sleeves. I’m still battling a messed up elbow in PT, so what normally would have been easy is going to be a challenge. #knitting

This week I'm using the prompts for #stilltober and painting in watercolor!
Here is a Nicobar pigeon in #watercolor for #stilltober25 prompt "iridescent". Fun fact, this fancy guy is the closest living relative of the dodo.

If it's time for a little brioche knitting challenge, I suggest the Sea Fan Cowl.
Organic forms swirl around the circumference of this cowl, while a picot cast on and bind off adds interest and elasticity. It's knit in two shades of fingering weight yarn and I have another one started just for me!
