Threadleaf Crochet

February 15, 2026 🧵 I made both the matchy sunflower and the fiddle sunflowers. Eventually.

I sized up the thread and simplified the pattern and I’m quite happy with the new version.

Hard call, both are great. I prefer the colors of the pink one and the texture of the purple one.

Crochet
And science
And learning a language

These are a few of my favorite things

February 13, 2026 🧵 I finally put earhooks on the blueberries.

I dallied because I wasn’t sure how to jazz them up. Turns out they make a cute pair of earrings without any jazzing.

Congrats on making something for a Very Important Recipient.

I have some crochet shamrock earrings and they are indeed cute 😁☘️

Wow. Just wow.

Also the 1980s Polish song “Szklana Pogoda”, which describes a vast concrete village at dusk, with the doors triple-locked against distrusted neighbors, and the windows blue from glow of the television sets.

Two pairs of earrings. One pair has bright variegated blue crochet hearts and round steel charms with snowflake cutouts. The other pair has dusty blue crochet hearts with clear snowflake beads and pink seed beads.

February 11, 2026 🧵 Variations on a theme.

I’m not gonna get into my history with doctors but boy do I feel you.

A pair of variegated beige crochet flower earrings with green glass leaf charms.

February 9, 2026 🧵 Someone asked me if I could use some glass leaf beads they had.

I definitely can use some glass leaf beads.

That’s a frankenmitten and I mean that lovingly.

That icing looks decadent.

February 7, 2026 🧵 Another case of “it was meant to be one pair”.

I hope you enjoy tatting!

FYI, that Lizbeth thread you got is also top-notch for crochet.

I like a 1.75mm hook for size 10 and a 2.25mm for size 3.

So cute!

Fun fact: In English it’s a stool for toads, but in Polish it’s a killer of flies (“muchomor”)

That sounds absolutely hilarious.

Did they try to pull a technicality? “The lie is that I have three stuffed animals named George. I actually have four stuffed animals named George.”

He‘s a handful, but oh so cute!

A dozen pairs of colorful heart-shaped crochet earrings on black metal display stands on a wooden stair. A gray and white cat on the next stair up has just knocked over one of the earring stands.

February 5, 2026 🧵 I’m trying to photograph earrings. He’s trying out for the title role in a kaiju film.

Sheesh, some people have too much time on their hands.

I love all the daily stitchings and especially this one with its use of negative space.

Besides dice towers, tabletop gamers also use trays to roll dice in and boxes or bags to store and carry dice.

The nerdier the better, of course.

February 3, 2026 🧵 I spent nearly an hour trying different components and sizes and geometries.

I know I‘ve finally hit on the right design when it looks like ~✨the obvious choice✨~.

I’ve never before seen a scarf with gathered ends like that, and I love it.

I like the first two with the big flowers the best.

“I’m pretty sure that’s not the way I was supposed to go. But it worked!” — the hardest-core gamer I know, pretty much weekly

I‘ve made this! It’s a neat pattern.

Some crochet motifs, thread snippets, and an owl coffee mug on a white painted windowsill.

February 1, 2026 🧵 Camped out in the armchair, using the windowsill as a table. Got my crochet, my coffee, and a horde of rampaging cats.

It‘d be cozier if the cats stopped chasing each other across my lap, but cats gonna cat.

Oh em gee 🤩🥰

I‘m also struck by how lightweight cotton earrings are. I have genuinely forgotten I‘m wearing them and tried to wash my hair with them still on 😆
