Found this taped to the back of a bookshelf. Apparently my son wrote it to himself, and left it there, for reasons unknown.

My son has repurposed my old sewing box in order to store some of his 1,500 MTG cards and dice. When he wasn’t taking it apart, sanding, repainting, or reassembling, he was organizing his cards by which compartment they’d go in. He and his friend are now playing MTG on the lawn as logo paint dries.

My nephew wanted to try crocheting during a stay on New Year’s Eve. I, a novice, taught him how to make slipknots, foundation chains, and frogging with a few hours of practice that night. I was just informed that rather than asking for toys or candy at the store, he asked for hooks! I’m super proud!

Brochet Cousins! (UPDATE) My son and my sweet nephew finally got to spend some time crocheting together. In this photo they’re practicing some new stitches and testing amazing yarns and hooks we received from a generous redditor who wanted to encourage their growth creativity in the hobby. GRATEFUL!

Do my TRTR and FPTR look okay on the corners? They’re kind of slanted, but I’m guessing that’s normal cuz it seems to do it no matter how many times I restart.

Abandoned shoes in an area with a high transient population, pointing in direction of the riverbank’s 12’ cliff. The river is almost always frigid, it’s wide and deep, and has a swift undercurrent. About half a mile away a weathered shrine was set up off the main path with silk flowers and candles.

Birds have been dying and suffering in record numbers due to so many wildfires in the West. Stocked up & set up a modest altar on my balcony, ft. homemade pumpkin, berry, peanut butter, sunflower suet cakes. They’ve been visiting non-stop since the first freeze. A daily blessed mess!

Still managed to fuck it up, but I learned a few things in the process. I just want to say **THANK YOU** to the kind dads out there who encouraged me to try! That was so cool of you and I truly appreciate it. I guess I’ll try again some other time.

Out of an abundance of caution after healing from my thumb injury I’ve slowed way down on crochet. This bbblanket is nearly done though. I’m thinking a black for the edging and pink for a border, though it might look best with all black. Any particular border design suggestions?

Tried my hand at a crochet cannabis leaf and looks as pathetic as I feel today. On my last chiller in non-legalized state, physically can’t smoke- don’t have a local supplier of the green anyway, and can’t drive to a legal state to get more product anytime soon. Pain bout to go BRRRRRRRRR

Do we like these colors for this particular motif? I’m thinking of doing 4 of the same, and 2 other color variations for 12 squares total. These are only 5” across though so maybe I’ll need more for a decent sized baby blanket. Should I add more rows to the edges to add volume? Thoughts?

Is there another color that I add to these four established colors? Bouncing around ideas before I move forward with this project and thought maybe introducing another in a lesser motif might be pretty neat. (Not looking to replace any of these four colors currently.)

Bruh... a small rub blister forming beside my fingernail caused by the hook bumping it with every stitch. Try to keep my middle finger tucked behind the work, but I’m not as efficient and still manage to rub the hook against it. Thoughts or suggestions to prevent further injury?

Decided to practice by making a textured baby blanket. Can you name some more stitches that are worked in multiples of 2? So far I have the thicket stitch (white) and true moss (blue). Not sure if I’ll do anything other than these two. I’d like to explore options though.

Plotting the next baby blanket. These are some of the yarn colors I have on hand that I’d like to use up. Help me pick? I’d like to use 3 or 4 colors together. Keep in mind, 9 is WHITE! The lighting gives it a warmer tone in this photo.

Okay pothos pals! I was given this cutting when it only had two leaves. I was told it’s a philo, but it looks an awful lot like a pothos to me. I know they can look similar so I’m coming to the pros! Pothos or not?
