🧶 this is a no-progress crochet update! I've been working on a different project for a bit, and then this week been too ill with a cold to be able to crochet. When my head is clear I will be back on it! #januarychallenge #craftsky #crochet #nowip

The entrance chamber has shifted in the last 30 years so it's unfamiliar to start with... Other than that though, the caves and the cavers are still asleep they have always been :)

🔦🧗🏻‍♀️Another good #caving trip today. Only to Sump 1 and back in Swildons', but the addition of carrying the tackle sac and the water which has started to appear with the wet autumn weather presented more of a challenge. I left suitably tired out :) #spelunking #MoveForMentalHealth

👟 out before the sunrise and back before small people left for school. 3 miles done. Brand new toe blister: how does that happen when no change in socks and trainers? #run #running #moveformentalhealth #runsky #slowaf

🧶the blankets too large/the floor is too small for full photos till the end now! So for those of you enjoying the dot matrix printing effect, here is the leading edge at row 164. #januarychallenge #foliageblanket #crochet #craftsky

A Tale of Two Churches

Here in Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch, in a small church hall, I am witnessing the building of another great monument to the glory of God, built this time not with stone and timber but with love and hope.

🧗🏻‍♀️🔦 First solo caving trip today. Practiced rigging the 20 ladder in Swildons'. #spelunking #caving #moveformentalhealth #challenge

Clarie 🧶 👟🌱🕊️ @clarietea.bsky.social · 24d

Yes I think it would. Crochet is similar, if you make it wet you can stretch it out and increase the size.

My crochet club asked the same question. I feel like, now I've started, I'm going to complete the whole thing!
I don't think I will block it, it's pretty square already because of the borders

🧶 161 rows down, can you believe there's still 49 more to go! It was meant to be single bed sized, but as you can see from this lovely budget chain double bed, it's a wee bit bigger than that. So, 49 rows, and 76 days till Xmas. It's do-able! #crochet #wip #januarychallenge #foliageblanket #craftsky

The full size of the foliage blanket so far! Spread across a UK double bed it reaches from corner to corner width ways, but doesn't cover the pillows yet in length.

👟 slow run-walk under grey skies this morning. Good to be out and moving tho, as I have a long drive to Ely this evening. And there always flowers. #moveformentalhealth #run #running #slowaf

Thank you

Clarie 🧶 👟🌱🕊️ @clarietea.bsky.social · Oct 2

🧶I've frogged and redone the error rows, and added another row on as well. Progress is happening as Autumn comes in and we welcome October. #januarychallenge #foliageblanket #crochet #crochetsky #craftsky #wip

Work on progress #foliageblanket in green and white.

🧶 I've checked the stitch pattern multiple times and then finally resorted to looking at the diagram pattern. And yes, 3 rows ago (2 white 1 green) I made a mistake. Can you see it? #crochet #craftsky #crochetsky #wip #frogging

👟 They say it takes six weeks to build a habit. Well I've been running consistently for around 28 months and this morning I got up,and went running just because it's a Thursday. :)

🧗🏻‍♀️🔦 Swildons' through Mud Sump (still clear) to the bottom of Greasy Chimney with John and Sam today. The cave is still dry, despite the recent rain. Good trip and nice to be out of the wet and wind on the hills. #spelunking #caving

👟 planned 3 mile run #jeffing turned into a 2 mile weighted mostly walk due to rain and errands, and the fact that running even with small weights is really really hard ⛈️🏋🏻‍♀️😆 #run #slowrunning #moveformentalhealth

🧶 Autumn is here in the UK and the #foliageblanket is 2/3 complete! This feels like a real milestone. I had to frog 3 rows yesterday as well. But I've done 140 rows of each colour now. #wip #crochet #craftsky #januarychallenge
