Am I the last person who didn’t watch ‘Lost’ series? I am in season 2 and I am hooked.
And I need reading glasses. And for knitting too :D It hurts my head when I crochet or knit. And I was thinking why I don’t enjoy my loved hobbies… Until I figured it out. Doctor appointment done.

Finished crochet bag yesterday.. I used real raffia this time and I love it. So light and easy to work with...not like paper yarn.. will go to the store and buy another skein today..

"So I cleaned up my craft room and put everything in its 'proper place' and now I can't find a darn thing I need! 😅 Guess my artistic chaos wasn't so bad after all... actually helps me work faster! Anyone else's creativity thrive in a bit of mess?

ehh..yesterday was trying crochet, knitting, selecting..still nothing but I am getting there.

I didn't count really.. I started it last year :D :D The truth is I enjoy the process, but the end result makes me happy too. But then I feel sad because I need to come up with next idea and process and as for today I have nothing to knit or crochet. Frustrating

Finally I finished a sweater! I love stockinette a lot, but I played around small details and this time I tried different neckline edging and added embroidery #knitting #wool #handmade
What I noticed at the end, I can wear it inside and out.

Playing with fire and burning yarn fibers. Wondering what yellow residue appears after burning..is it lanolin?

I'm not sure what's more frustrating, the fact that AI-generated crochet and knit patterns are flooding the market or that people can't seem to tell the difference...

☀️❄️ Greetings from sunny but chilly Fethiye!
These little worry worms have been my perfect procrastination-busting companions today.

Sometimes the smallest makes bring the biggest smiles. Anyone else have a go-to "palate cleanser" project?

That must be a treasured book on your shelf.

I hope there is a light ahead!

With all the moving the house I totally missed the earthquake alarm (here in Fethiye, Turkey we don't feel small earthquakes really). Storm warning also came up from tomorrow onwards. Funny times.

I will look up on them later, thank you for sharing.

Crochet heart very simple

Ready for Valentine's Day? I am not, to be honest... but I can share simplest crochet heart.

sc – single crochet
dc – double crochet
tr - triple crochet
sl st – slip stitch
ch – chain

Start with an amigurumi ring.

ch-4, 3 tr, 4 dc, 1 tr, 4dc, 3 tr, ch-4, sl st in the ring.

I read the news about this issue. I am curious now, what knitting needles are you using now? Socks look beautiful!

knitters who get up early and stay up late

I am moving the house these days.. I must say it is pretty stressful.

crochet bag

I'm so happy I can share pictures and text here! 😊 By the way, the crocheted bag in the image is my creation. A friend took the photos for me. She is talented photographer.

Once again, I am so grateful for my knitting needle set. I had started a pair of socks a long time ago and was using different needles, which was a little bit bothersome until I switched to ChiaoGoo. After that, it went like a breeze. Gosh... a sweater is in progress - I'll show it tomorrow!

This is a good one! :)

Things we've all said that sound WAY different out of context:

🧶 "It's getting tighter as I go!"
🧶 "The bigger the hook, the faster it goes"
🧶 ""My hands are getting tired"
