And if you stopped masking it’s okay to start again.

It’s worth it.

Here I am posting infrequently about things no one cares about. It’s a lot of work. Slur button ftw

I’ve made myself many cross stitch pins of 16- bit characters. Mario 1-3, Mortal Kombat, Zelda, Metroid. They all work. 👍

I hope your new home is welcoming. It’s always nice to be reminded that we’re not alone, even in Utah. Thank you so much for your comments. 💜

Still working this new pattern for tonight’s NLCS game. Hope it’s half as good as last night’s game. ⚾️

The blue color is sneaking in to my work now.

An LGBTQIA2S+ group in SLC may have a Winter Bazaar, so hopefully I’ll get to be involved!

A work-in-progress mandala art doily lies on a black desktop. To the left of the doily is my 2.75mm crochet hook which has. Wolf handle and silver metal tip. Slightly visible above the doily is the cake of yarn showing the gay pride rainbow the finished parasol will possess.

Ugh. I’m sorry.

I hope your rental car is fun!

Brand new patten for the NLCS game tonight. I don’t have a favorite of the Dodgers-Brewers, both teams play great baseball.

This pattern isn’t self-drafted. It’s printed in Cyrillic, so if you want the title and author, msg me. I’m quite excited about making something new-new.

A work-in-progress crochet doily masala lies on black desktop. The worked yarn is purple and it is attached to a gay pride rainbow cake skein to the left of the image. At the top my working stitch has the crochet hook still attached. That hook is 2.75mm, a metal hook, and wooden handle. To the right are the guitar-shaped scissors I tossed carelessly - oops!

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

Look, when a thing is right, it’s right.

What is your horror movie role this Halloween?

A horror movie-esque black background with red splotches. White text reads “The girl with big titties”

I’m still catching up on orders from my sale. This is one I always love to make.

It’s okay, you can say it: Isn’t it just… beige?

Yes, but not for long. I promise teals and blues are coming. 🤞

Should I do a giveaway after I’m caught up?

A work-in-progress crochet mandala lies on a black desktop. A crochet hook with a wood handle and silver metal hook lies next to the mandala’s right side. The working yarn exits the picture at the top right.

This gif is so good. I’m stealing it.

Thank you so much!! You’re the person who introduced me to crocheting things like these and I am grateful. 💜

A completed lampion that is a continuation of one section pattern from Studio156Delft.

It has really fantastic shadows!

I’m still new to #crochet 🧶 lampions, #lanterns, and #chandeliers so taking great pics of them isn’t in part of my skill set… yet. I appreciate your forgiveness, #crochetsky.

Reminder: Tonight’s the last night for 25% off all the parasols on my website.

I’m working on a chandelier tonight, pattern by Studio156Delft.

Hope I’ll get to see some of you this Saturday 10/4 at the first Fallapalooza at Tracy Aviary’s Nature Center at Pia Okwai.

A 4” circle of crocheted yarn lies on a black desktop with a wood-handled 2.75mm crochet 🧶 hook on top. The yarn is bright blue at the edge and fades to purple at the center.

An orange poster shows several Halloween-y things like a spider and long-nailed fingers. The text is both white and black and announces the inaugural Fallapalooza market.

That’s crochet and what a lovely thing to see. 💜
