I've decided to make Renulek's spring doily 2026 first as a colourful mandala. This is round 1 done in red and yellow.
Here is the pattern: renulek.blogspot.com/2026/

Thank you! :)
They're so pretty!
Friends in SE Michigan, if you were wanting to learn shuttle tatting in person, I will be teaching a class in April in Ann Arbor! Here is the link for tickets, spaces are limited! events.humanitix.com/intro-to-shu...
My wheat round earrings made in tatting. Worn by a beautiful freesia. :)

I'm starting an Instagram too, because it seems like the site that most people use for looking at pictures. :D I'll be posting photos of my tatting and crochet.

Frivole is a nice lady in the #tatting community. Her Youtube tutorials have always been a go-to resource of knowledge for me: www.youtube.com/@11Frivole/v...
Happy Women's Day for those celebrating it! I usually buy my mom a bouquet of flowers every year, but this time I wasn't able to go out for it, so I made her a #crochet daffodil, following this tutorial by Play Hookie With Me: youtu.be/ZnRbZxhFhHs?... π§Ά
It turned out so pretty! :) Mom loved it.
Renulek's doily designs are always so beautiful, but the 2025 one is simply stunning. It's definitely on my to-do list (and will probably take me a few good years to finish).

Today I participated in a handmade charity sale at my office. I'm proud to say I raised $50 from selling my tatted items, plus donating $10 for some of the baked goodies from my colleagues. :)
Here are some of my wares (from various free patterns by several talented designers):
The scarf is now safely with its new owner and he really liked it. :) I'm so glad!
I agree, the old photo looks a bit like a lacey blob, but your version is really pretty! :)
That looks very nice! Thank you for the suggestion!
I make a brooch for my mom each year, almost always in #tatting. This year none of the patterns I tried worked out, so I designed one myself. I would rework the outer round for a future version, but I'm very proud of this brooch. :)
I've finally finished the custom Grinch #crochet scarf. It sure took me a while and I had some issues, but it's done and I'm pretty happy with it. The pattern is by Patti French.
That would be a great idea! :)
You're welcome! :) I thought the crochet community should know about your game.
Btw, I'm Tea and Floppy Disks. :D
It's always so cool to see gaming inspired crafts, especially #Crochet. This is an awesome plushie of the character Froggonit, an adorable froggy explorer. πΈπ§Ά
Do check out the game too, it's lots of fun! :) Coming up soon to Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2276040/...
Thank you! :) I usually design things myself, since it's so easy to undo and try new things with crochet.
I haven't been around here in a while, mostly because I've been busy, but here is a collar I made during the Christmas Star Trek TNG marathon. It's a pattern I created, with asymetric spike stitches hiding the decreases. It's been great during this extra cold winter. :) #Crochet
A water bird taking flight from the lake surface. Quite a nice spot in the park.

Happy #worldembroideryday I create imaginary pictures using the needle like a paintbrush, and the threads as my palette, itβs always an interesting journey where they will take me.ππ§΅πͺ‘πΏπΊ Hereβs just a few of themβ¦ #stitchedart #embroidery #thesewingsongbird
I've added a ton of new things to my ko-fi shop!! I'm also taking emergency headshot cross stitch commissions for Β£40+ to be able to afford new medical equipment that I need. ko-fi.com/ky3lencrafts...

A purple aubergine plushie with a tear in its seam
The plushie all stitched back up
There is a plushie aubergine at the office that was most likely torn up by the dog that visits sometimes. The other day, I brought my needles and thread and performed some much needed surgery. :)
#PlushieRepair
Wow, that's really impressive!
So cute! :)
Thank you! It's a fun pattern too! :)

The witch's cat on a broomstick. Tatting pattern by Mark Myers. I enjoy unusual patterns like this one. I keep saying I'll stitch these to some t-shirt or something, but I just keep putting it off.
