Played yarn chicken to finish this mandala vest while camping. The yarn won. Few more inches of border to go! I have one skein at home to steal a bit of yarn from in order to finish it up. Nice lightweight outfit for the Ren Faire where it will be around 80 degrees! Oof! So much fun, sooooooon!

Trying to show the mandala vest in a mirror at camp. Pardon the day 3 hair lol!
Should pair well with a mushroom hat.

SCA costume stream today! 11am pst. And then much packing. I have to leave Thurs morning so I think I will be too busy packing on Wed to stream. Will miss you all for this long weekend! Be back w/pics. I'll be back Mon next week, but more likely to stream Tues & Wed. Then, packing for MoCoCon! 🎉

Meet one of the newest MoCo LoCo stream team members! Yours truly! Honored and delighted to be accepted! Truly great group of streamers led by the fabulous sibling duo of MoCoMade. If my September wasn't already mostly spoken for, I'd say someone smuggle me into mococon! 🤣 Next year!

Look at this little shit. Looking so cute in the first pic (toes!), he was readying for a fight, look at that little fist. He charged me after that second pic, so I charged him back and gave him a good scare. Don't run at me mf! He got up a tree and scolded me good lol! #nature #IslandLife #PNW

Finished a lovely spring themed sweater. Here is test version 4 of the tailored hexi cardigan. One last little tweak and I will send it to testers. I was delighted with how many were eager to test it! I have 3 solid crocheters in the lineup. Appears to take 5-6 full skeins of Big Twist for a L/XL.

Tailored hexi cardigan in spring colorsVery cozy. Worked in granny block stitch.

Taking it easy today. Chilling on the patio when out of the bushes comes a fawn! Snacking on my berries. It has lived a very hard life already and has lost an eye, I don't begrudge it my pie filling. No gory pics, but let me just say I did take some and it's very gross on the other side.

Best shot, looks good from this side. Just a baby with its spots still!Strategic fern frond here

It was a big day Saturday, went on a Costco run and visited friends. Down day Sunday, apologies! I was exhausted. Won't be streaming Monday, but going to try playing Pandora on Discord again. If you like my stream tunes, they will be commentary free. Will be back to streaming Tuesday at 11am pst.

Getting to Costco is a whole voyage

I crocheted 🧶 the cutest and derpiest looking bird yesterday 🤣🐦‍⬛ It was great fun. Wings flip up or down, flying/roosting. Today I'll finish this lounge cat. Needs ears, tail, stitching & sewing ends. Then more hexi cardigan, longer & longer rows to do. Hope 2 see you on Twitch, starting @ 11 pst.

My hands crocheted the cutest little black kitty cat stuffy! Took 3 hours and then an earbud died and took the whole show with it. 🤣🔥 Computer's fine, lesson learned: let 2nd earbud come online before disconnecting the 1st. Still giggling about getting raided! Rats! Thanks @ninepointfive.live !

Made the cutest wee little bear on stream yesterday! Traded for a delightful time with friends and some generosity. Have to bug its new owner for a destination, it is spoken for. Freehanded, second stuffy I've ever made. Came out so cute! Should try this more often. See U at 11 pdt! #crochet 🧶

Purple AND red today. Thought I'd have a little fun with the hair and it turned out great! Arm feels really good after crocheting with pencil grip for a few days so I'm gonna use it or rotate grips very often. Yay! Honestly hasn't felt this good in a while. Hope to see ya later, stream at 11 pdt.

Making cakes on stream today, should be tasty and full of fiber! 🤣 I'll be back on at 11am pdt, missed yous! ❤️🔥 Needed some down time. I've been sleeping til 4 or 5am. Feel more rested indeed. Finished another hexi cardi model which gave me good ideas for #4, already underway. #twitch #crochet 🧶

Tailored hexi cardigan, first try with measurements. Things were learned for version 4, already on the hook

Harvest time! This year's foxglove seed harvest gathered in a pan. It's sitting a while so the bugs depart. 😅 You can see the white and dark mix of seeds, they are white and purple flower seeds mixed together. The blackberries are coming ripe and the blueberries are not far behind. Cobbler time!

White, lavender, and purple foxglove seeds all mixed together. 
Grows best in freshly disturbed dirt, takes two years to flower, poisonous as heckBlackberry bush with half ripened berries, with wild blueberries unripe in the upper left corner.

I'll be at both Flock /and Fiber Festival events, Seattle and OR. Hoping to meet other Makers and Crafters a little too eagerly. Like a yarn nerd. I'll be the one with purple-maroon hair and a granny block stitch sweater. Face blindness is going to be a problem for me but I'll keep an eye out.

That was a hilariously choppy test stream, woops. Hahaha! I gotta take a hint when I see 40% dropped frames. In theory I get fiber next year, I'll save the VR for then. Streaming VR = triple the data use of my usual streams and I've only got 2.9mb up on a good day right now, barely enough as it is.

There's a few of these relics near me. I remember when they took a dime and lots were still rotary. Then it cost a quarter... 50c, then swiping a phone card was so modern, and then cell phones killed em. Unsurprisingly, there was no dial tone. Or most of its parts lol! #IslandLife #PNW
