Love a witchy hat!. I made one 2 years ago and it went all saggy. I suppose that's what you get for using chunky yarn 😆 I'll redo it one day with some wire support I think 🤔

Just realised I didn't share the first one yesterday 🙃 haha here he is

Next cutie from the Spoopy Cupcakes pattern by @straightuphandmade (Insta) is this smaller one. Same pattern, same yarn, just a 3.5 needle instead of 4.5

It feels more firm and sturdy but took longer to crochet but I think he looks more cute 😍

New pattern release from CillaCrochets on Ravelry. Free on her blog, if you prefer the PDF head to Ravelry.

So easy and quick to make up and you can put a face on him if you're crazy like I am 🤣

Outstanding Onion

Advocacy groups have suspended ties with U.K. charity The ME Association over chairman Neil Riley's op-ed that called for people with ME to increase their movement, counter to research and people’s lived experiences. More than 1k people have signed a letter calling for its retraction. bit.ly/3V7Z7YI

A black and white photo of ME Association Chairman Neil Riley against a purple backdrop. White text on a black background reads, “THE SICK TIMES: Advocacy groups suspend ties with U.K. charity The ME Association over chairman’s op-ed. By Miles W. Griffis.”

White text on a pink and purple ombre background reads, "How are we supposed to maintain support for a charity when we know their chair has a completely inadequate understanding of the very disease he’s supposed to be advocating for? — Dr. Alexis Gilbert
Doctor with ME from Leeds, England"

A friend bought me this last year. Was about to make my own just like it so it saved me energy. Friends are fab! 😃😍
