Cozy and crocheting. Lots of nature, cooking, coffee, cats, cute art + a few crafts and muses about getting older.

21.11.2024 18:14 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0That looks gorgeous!! I know I will absolutely miscount and have to unravel at least once per row so Iβm not sure itβs a good one for me to attempt lol but it just looks so stunning!

21.11.2024 17:53 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Oh and spicy mayo (made with Dukeβs mayo+store brand sriracha )
Normally Iβd add furikake too but I was out :(
That bowl helps me kick my expensive sushi roll craving down the road for another month lol. ($12-$15 versus $85 !)
I took a little bag of frozen breaded shrimp,
2 mini cucumbers
Some avocado
Some cream cheese
And a Veetee sticky rice (made in the UK, so I need to stock up like 4-5 more of them lol π₯²
And I made a little βshrimp
Bowlβ with that
Supposed to have wasabi seaweed squares but the store forgot :(
Morning coffee has been consumed
21.11.2024 17:47 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I got rid of it last week, the algorithm just showed sensational posts and never anything of value. :/ plus it was just a distraction when I was trying to look at hobby things on IG
21.11.2024 15:58 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Nope, and it meant I was never afraid to pick up ANY book. All reading was open to me.
21.11.2024 11:51 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Trying to do the same. I miss ice cream but Blue Bell has gone so high in price itβs easy to skip. I would rather buy more olives lol!
The one thing we wonβt let go of is Doritoβs, but we tend to just have w/sandwiches or I pair with fruit/carrot for husband work snacks.
It was tasty! They were $5/ea at Kroger. I was happy to experiment esp since my little pan can go from stove to oven.
Next time I might just do 1 ribeye for less $ and slice it up for me and husband.
A plate with sliced mushrooms, steak, mashed potatoes and asparagus.
Dinner! I overcooked the round tenderloin steaks a bit. 19 mins in oven :( Next time Iβll stick with 15 mins. Originally pan seared.

Using a D for shawl rn and may use D for socks
Started a shawl using a fingering yarn and I am so happy with the progress! The stitches are simple but Iβve held onto this yarn for 4 years until I made sure I felt confident enough to make my mother something pretty. It was a battle taking the skein from skein to ball, took 2 hours π₯² #crochet

18.11.2024 16:32 β π 1241 π 242 π¬ 18 π 2This one is sock-beginner friendly! Itβs crochet in the round for the toe, then crochet in rows for heel, then sc2tog was easy to search and then more in the round for the cuff, I just stopped early to practice ribbing. If I can google the pattern again I will share (thought I BM but did not)
19.11.2024 11:52 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I believe I will frog it as itβs not going to fit anyone I know comfortably π€£ But at least I know I can make a sock! I was always terrified of socks!
19.11.2024 06:10 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0A crochet sock
First sock ever complete! However the foot part is too wide and long bc my hook was too big. I like the simple pattern. The ankle part fits a little snug and the ribbing (I added, modified pattern) is stretchy and was good practice. Me and my chunky calves need more stitches above heel. #crochet
