If you know me from FB, let me know who you are so I can follow back. Only a few trusted people got my bksy id.

Gizmo's new favorite toy. Eyeball pattern from #FocusPocus by @sammichstitches.bsky.social. Made from #10 crochet thread and a size 10 (1.3mm) hook. #crochet #amigurumi 🧶

This. Right here.

Excited for you! I love mine!

Nothing like finally learning how to unmask, only to find you now require an even larger mask.

Not suspicious other than the usual lies. We're all aware of his decline. Time to watch ol' Just Donnie's Valet.

And THANK YOU! Sorry, sometimes I get so excited to discuss the process I forget I'm talking to a person. Please forgive me.

I can't say I have a preference yet. It's all experimenting.

Not my first round with indirect warp, but my first attempt at calculating shrinkage AND keeping a fairly consistent tension throughout. WOOT!!! This is just what I got and I'm thrilled. I even recorded it in a book for posterity, so there's that! Success!

Do you crochet? The pattern was only $5ish and totally worth it! #FocusPocus by @sammichstitches.bsky.social - you can get it on Etsy

Six, count 'em, 6 hand towels (still to be hemmed) and six, count'em, 6 "washcloths" (not shown) from one full indirect warp on the Ashford 24" RHL. I'm really proud of this set. #weaving #rigidheddleloom #fiberart

Six cotton hand towels waiting to be hemmed. Colors are black (background), red, and blue. Woven on a rigid heddle loom.

I updated it this morning. The hat was off - not your fault but mine. I changed the hook to a larger size (hands couldn't take it anymore) and had to adjust. Another row of brim did the trick. <3

Update: First, I failed to follow hat instructions because I changed my hook. Because of this, I had to add another brim row. Now I'm happy with my emotional support eyeball!

It's treason.

B*tch (Oz, not you), I'm 60 and I already know I'll be working until I die. You can't even get max SS until 67. STFU, loser.

Alice @dryad4.bsky.social · 11d

Thank you!

Alice @dryad4.bsky.social · 12d

Still fairly new to bsky. How do you find these threads and follow them?

Alice @dryad4.bsky.social · 12d

WTSLJ!

Alice @dryad4.bsky.social · 12d

P.S. My lesson is that this is for younger hands. Still makes my heart happy to get one out!

Alice @dryad4.bsky.social · 12d

Update: Haven't started the hat yet, but Gizmo (my cat) thinks the eyeball is delicious! ;) I didn't have have worsted white so I used chain-plied #10 crochet thread. Same with the pupil. Iris is worsted weight acrylic neon green. Stuffed with yarn waste scraps. Loving it! Thank you for the pattern!
