Tunisian crochet and regular crochet designer and maker of tutorials - written and video.
@mutter01 oh, interesting. I've seen other designs with similar messaging, just not this one. Looks great. Madstash on Bluesky usually shares lots of colorwork in Tks, it's nice to see someone else doing that.
@mutter01 Nice! I hope it's the updated version with the correction (after making Row 64 you should repeat that, not Row 44). I also made a video to help visualize the construction of this on a small scale https://youtu.be/WyuqcUGo04Y Although it seems like you might not need it, since you have great skill in Tunisian crochet.

@mutter01 this is really cool! Stranded colorwork?

A symbol of resistance that you can now make in Tunisian crochet. It works up quickly and it's very warm.

I made this one in a day, but I was also writing the pattern for it at the same time. I even made a video tutorial for a new stitch it uses (it's very easy).

You can now get it from the Needle & Skein shop. All proceeds go to help those affected by the ICE raids. https://payhip.com/b/rn5xk #tunisianCrochet #melttheice

My leg warmers are finished and ready to go for a walk with no pebbles in the boots 😅 #FastenOffYAL Pattern is Treble Jig Legwarmers by Síle of Knit Dance Repeat.

If you go places with folks during the holiday season and want to wear a cute seasonal hat that you made yourself, but only do Tunisian crochet (or want to make it quickly and for it to be warm and without holes), I present to you the elf hat.

The pattern is free on my blog and comes with 6 sizes from child to adult. Everyone deserves to have hats that fit.

If you use color changing yarn and skip the brim and pompom, you can make it into a pixie hat. https://yarnandy.com/tunisian-crochet-elf-hat-or-santa-hat-pattern/ #TunisianCrochet

Getting started on my @fastenoffyal project and my leg warmer is too big, so I'll go down a needle size and a pattern size (Treble Jig Legwarmers by Síle of Knit Dance Repeat). But this is a good thing to put on the Bingo card... #knitting

It's always fun when I get to talk to fellow designers about our work. I don't get to do this often, but at least once a year in the Fasten Off Yarn-A-Long @fastenoffyal I get to do this.

This year the format has changed to a more fluid conversation and I loved it.

You can watch the replay of your talk about niches, audiences, what people love to see and what we love to see from people.

@asta @astamakes OK, but why is your dog so adorable 😍 Nice to meet you on here! I'll check out the channel. If you ever need a fellow crocheter/knitter to talk to about stuff, let me know.
