Don’t be too suggestive in my tags & dnf if you don’t like tbp/lltbp characters or fiction, as I like mcr overall but this page is just for tbp/lltbp.

Fiddling with these DPNs is like trying to handle a biblically accurate angel, but that Musselburgh hat is finally on a good way (after frogging a bunch of prior attempts) xD

And I'm learning so much! All new vocab and techniques!

Rose Flower Pot

I made another little birthday present:

Yarn: Schachenmayr Catania (red, green, orange) The brown yarn is Baumwollschulgarn from my grandma's stash. It might be as old or even older than I am!

Patterns: I used "Rose in a flower pot" by Dani West as sort of basic guideline, with very heavy modifications (see ravelry here). I really didn't like nor agree with the pattern instructions, so I winged a lot, starting with the pot base which the pattern wants in dc but I wanted more stability so I used hdc instead.

The pattern also has instructions for a rose. Started it, didn't like it, so I returned to a rose pattern I had used before (back in 2018 for the little Alistair's Rose Bag): Rose of Spring by Maz Kwok (free pattern on her blog). This pattern also comes with leaves and I used that and the rose pattern without changing anything.

As for the "soil", I just started with 12 hdc (i think?) and then hoped for the best, because the brown yarn is a little thinner than the rest. It worked out really well and fit perfectly actually.

Another modification was adding a little stem:

That's basically a 5 (or 6??) chain start, closed to the round and then crocheted around a few times, with some increases at the end as bas to sew the rose on. For stability purposes, I put a match inside the stem, and through the soil to the pot base (without the burny head).

The whole thing was a birtday present for a friend and the recipient liked it and that made me very happy.

Maybe next year I'll make another little pot, a sunflower perhaps? Two is company after all ^_^

I made a bunny family in the last few days ^_^

The middle one's yarn was an impromptu dyeing experiment with leftover easter egg dyes, no prep, no mordant, hence the pastell vibe, probably xD

New WIP who dis?

I need some 54 or so squares...

These work up pretty quick but I'm not looking forward to deal with the ends xD

Eventually, they will become the Daisy Dreams Cardigan by Leonela Cevallos.

I'm making this for my eldest kid, hoping to get it done before she grows out of it xD
