You will find this creature in its natural habitat, its own home. Most of its time it spends fiddling with yarn or thread, despite not being particularly good at it.
It also has a deep hunger for stories that support its efforts to distance itself from the real world.

Hi! I'm Sarah (she/her πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ), the Stitching Hermit. I prefer staying at home over socialising (but I do have friends). I like to #read , #crossstitch and #crochet and I hate intolerance, hypocracy and inconsiderateness.

So I dug this one out again today... It is so hard going back to full coverage when you haven't done it in a while. Over 300 stitches and it barely looks like I've done anything πŸ˜…

Happy #StitchingSunday ! Here's what I did for the past week and now it's finished!! πŸ₯³ I love it. And yes, I do like foxes. πŸ€ͺ

Aaand one more before I take a little break from #crocheting : Just finished these little guys. They're the new mascots for my mums elementary school class. I'm really not patient enough to like making #amigurumi , but isn't this tiny baby squirrel just adoooorable?! πŸ₯²πŸ’•

Sweet Softies

As some of you may have read I lost my job last week. So I decided to do what any sane grown up would do and stay with my mum for a week. 😌 This is the progress so far on the #GrannySquare blanket I'm currently working on: I've finished square 5 and made square six yesterday, so 1/4 done! πŸ₯³

Pattern of square 6:

So I've finished two more squares yesterday and started a fifth one, but this one will have to wait until sunday for its last two rounds 😊

Patterns:

Alrighty! That's square two done! Can't say that I liked it quite as much as the first one, but we can't have it all, eh? πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈβ˜ΊοΈ

So I've finished square one (yay!) and now I need some advice. I may be new to the #GrannySquare making business, but of course I've done my homework first and so I know about #blocking ... But look at this!!! I summon you, crochet experts and nerds: Does this really need blocking? I've seen blocked squares that weren't as flat and defined as this! Am I lacking information?

I suppose it could almost be considered a crime that my lovely gran taught me how to #crochet before I had outgrown diapers, but yet I never attempted a #GrannySquare project before. So I decided to put an end to this shame! Today my #yarn order from #hobbii arrived and so #stardustmelodies here I come!
Ok, so about an hour after I joined Mastodon this morning my boss called to tell me that apparently my job does no longer exist. I'm not completely convinced yet that I will be able to not link those two events together for all of eternity. 🧐 But I'm just going to seek comfort in Jane's arms now. And tomorrow is a new day and maybe the next one will be the job I was actually made for. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Alright then, #introduction time. I'm Sarah, a polystitchual German who has been recruited to this platform by @thegiddystitcher
I am hoping to find inspiration and likeminded yarn-enthusiasts on here and planning to post about the progress on my current projects, which will mostly be #crochet and #crossstitch
I suppose that's enough for a first post. Looking forward to settling in! 🀍
