“Winter Berries”; but true crime fans often tell me they imagine a snowy mnrder scene. I dyed it based on the photo so the benign interpretation is the intended one … but art is in the eye of the beholder, perhaps? What do you think?

I fell into a pattern of simply filling up spindles over the last few months. So here’s the 100s of meters of thread that needs to be de-spindled, plyed, & finished.

The Entrelac Crochet Tutorial Masterpost
Picture by Martin Up North
A really neat crochet technique is called entrelac, which is also available for knitting. But, as we all know: I don’t knit😂🤣. At first it can seem really daunting to pick up entrelac crochet because the pattern seems so intricate, but once you get the hang of it, it’s really easy and the end result is just stunning 🤩, especially with a good color combination.
So, here’s a few tutorials to get you started, enjoy!

Not me as somebody who crochets on the reg getting criticisms/unwanted comments about everything I make:
"You always use the same colors" :/
Me: can't help it I'm a thalassophile and therefore I must always use beige, khaki, turquoise, teal, aqua blues, whites of all shades. Let the coastal creations commence!
"Nice bag. You know, that looks perfect to use only for holidays like Easter"
Me: ...my coastal bag is to be used every time I feel like it. What are you talking about.
"Those oceanic colors don't match with your current outfit so don't use it."
Me: it's not about what looks nice TO YOU but what feels right and fun to use FOR ME.
"Why don't you add (whatever) to your creation. It'd look great if you add (whatever). And, how about next time, you actually use a leather bag bottom instead?"
Me: I don't want to.
"You sure can't take a comment or a slight criticism. Why are you like this?" :/
Me: you sure can't mind your business.
"Why are you doing 2 projects at once. Finish one and start the other I don't get it."
Me: oh you sweet summer child ohohoho...you just don't understand the mind of a crocheter do ya?
"You know, if you make something for somebody it sure won't be coastal themed or whatever. You have to try something different."
Me: who said I'm making anyone ANYTHING? They don't want to pay the correct price for a hand-made creation so that won't be happening. Anyway, ONTO THE COASTAL THEMED SCARF!

This one turned out so cool. It looks like he’s hoarding the blanket I’m working on 😁

Knitted Balaclava 🙈
made with a stockinette stich and a 2x2 ribbed stich ( in the right pic you can tell the tails were not weaved in )
and added a sparkly fur trim to make it extra cute 💕 (it looks way neater after weaving in the tails + I didn't block it cuz I'm a gangtser 😎 )
Used Egyptian Cotton as my main yarn in the colours Pétrole and Blanc 1, the grey and the light blue were leftovers from another project 🦋
The other project being my first ever knitting project which was also a balaclava, back when I had just learned how to do a pearl stich haha guess we all have to start somewhere 🥵

All but 3 of my regular working spindles are full, & I don’t have any more storage space to keep going. So every one now has to be pulled off & processed into skeins.
