#Rainbow at The Village today #Newfoundland #NLWX

I'm still working on the cuffs trying to let my hands have a rest. Anyway here's the realities of #crochet gifts and calculated time involved in the creating. I could add another 10% for the design time of the sculpting of the shape. I'll get a list of links together for the squares I used.

The answer to the question of "How windy was it in #Newfoundland this week?"

"Blow siding off the house windy. And multiplying garbage bins."

Thank you for asking.

Today I learned.

No matter how much you don't want to argue with gravity it wants to argue with you.

I'll wear my boots it will be safer than walking through slush in sneakers your feet will stay dry.

Your legs won't when you fall in it.

I wanted a fall and Canadian themed cuffs so I came up with a 1 round maple leaf. I think it turned out pretty good. The first try was a bit of a wreck but this one I'm feeling pretty good about. #crochet.

Just need to finish the cuffs now. Doing some seasonal sets. #Crochet I'll be adding context for the reality of crochet later so keep an eye out for that.

One arm and some ends on the back and cuff. Under 50 omg so close. #crochet #wip
October 24, 2025 at 5:45 PM
All the seaming is done! Also a single #crochet border around the whole thing. #wip now to deal with more ends and figure out what sort of collar it will have.

Seaming up. The adjustable parts. I've lost 30 pounds and want to continue. So I'll be able to remove a strip and still have the basic structure. It's cool enough to be able to have a blanket while I work. #crochet #wip

Getting closer. #crochet #wip
October 15, 2025 at 7:21 PM
More squares! #crochet #wip

So I'm home again and did this today. #crochet #wip sigh

Been a little beezy today.

#crochet project continues. #wip I'm just going to sleeve this here.
September 22, 2025 at 5:18 PM
Again at the worst part of #crochet projects the dreaded sewing in more ends. I've gotten both arms started and made one of the cuffs. Not sure what I want to do with the collar yet. Most of my projects just sort of come together. #wip

Yay black has been acquired construction is continuing! #crochet #wip

At the dentist to get a filling or 2 and then off to Walmart to pick up the cotton I need to finish the #crochet top I'm working on. I'm wondering if it's just going to be easier to walk from here.
September 16, 2025 at 1:03 PM
Ok I'm at kind of an impasse at the moment. #crochet #wip I've almost got the trunk of the shirt, sweater, jacket, whatever it turns out to be, done but I'm quickly running out of the black. See alt text for more.

265 granny squares. Remember when tossing your granny squares to make sure they are well blended. #crochet #wip last project post until it's done.
September 8, 2025 at 8:58 PM
Done!! Blocked and should be dry tomorrow. #crochet #wip.

Good news is that the new wildfire isn't near me. Bad news is it's near someone. #NLWildfires2025 #NLwx

Down to 35 squares and I wish I thought/remembered this trick sooner the 1302 ends I already had sewn in would have been sew much easier... 🤭
September 7, 2025 at 3:25 PM
50 squares and 272 ends left to sew in. 😵‍💫 Why do I do this to myself? #crochet #wip mercerized cotton tends to be less grippy so a bunch of the joining methods don't work as well so I will knot and sew the ends in to make sure they are secure.
September 6, 2025 at 7:19 PM
#crochet taking a break from sewing in ends I made up a few samples of a border for the shirt. This is a simple flower edging. See the alt text for greater detail. I'll put the link for the pattern in another post.

Most difficult part of the whole project, the dreaded sewing of the ends! The worst part of every #crochet project IMO #WIP check out the alt text for additional details.
