After 8 months of taking breaks and making sure I didn’t burn myself out, I’ve finally completed my Kara Kara Bizarre Blanket! The colors were inspired by #TotK, and the design is based on a truncated order-7 triangular tiling, making the blanket hyperbolic, so it doesn’t lie flat. #crochet 🧶

A blanket draped over a love seat. The blanket is made of solid-color heptagonal panels and multi-color hexagonal panels, joined in a regular tiling that causes the angle of each vertex to exceed 360°, giving the blanket a ruffled edge.

The same blanket being held up. The curvature does not allow the entire blanket to be viewed at once.

A zoomed-in section of blanket that lies relatively flat. The panels can now be seen to be comprised of an African Flower motif surrounded by rows of granny stitch.

A collage showing the creative process of the blanket. The first image is a screenshot from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, showing Link standing in the Gerudo Desert with the Thunder Temple in the background. The second image shows a 9-color palette based on the first image. The third image shows six balls of yarn with colors based on the aforementioned palette; the colors are a dark teal, a burnt orange, a sage green, a dark brown, a sky blue, and a light cream. The fourth image shows a paper craft model of the blanket made of white hexagons and black heptagons. The fifth and final image shows a color-coded projection of the model using the six colors of yarn.

I spent so much time drawing this, but I don't like it at all. I feel like crying. I was too focused on the details and didn't see the big picture. Maybe. I'll fix what I can before Halloween is over...

Portland Frog Hat

I finished knitting my second frog hat while peacefully protesting down at the ICE facility yesterday. It’s a quick knit, but I knit it twice because the first one was a bit bigger than I wanted. I…

Sunday 🥱
Warm up character, I don’t think I’m digging the orange, or maybe not enough contrast… 🤔
Might play around with it some more

My first row. Love my pretty hook. And the yarn is very soft. Found it easier to hold the hook behind all the loops.

Project idea: I wanna play with using two colors in Tunisian crochet cables for a shrug or cardi. My thought is this stitch pattern with the background in the pebble and the actual cables in the river. Knitters, can I Kitchner side seam flat knit cables, or know other possible pitfalls? Opinions? 🧶

Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world!

I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago.

Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️
