I feel like schools should do more to warn people about gateway crafts. I started doing some embroidery, it's not too expensive, it doesn't take up too much space. Then I got a second-hand sewing machine, pretty versatile and that should be me sorted right? NO! It is not enough! YouTube is aggressively pushing me knitting and crochet content. I was seriously considering getting a loom and learning to weave. A LOOM!! Be careful out there kids. Before you know it you might be spinning your own wool! #Crafting #MastodonCrafts #Sewing #Crochet #Knitting

Looking for yarn shops that focus on sustainability or are owned by/support LGBTQIA+ or Black/Asian/Indian/Pakistani groups etc. in the UK? Searches under LGBTQ are mostly being up pre-made items. My current favourite Knit With Attitude doesn't stock quite what I am looking for and I have an experimental crochet bombing project I want to complete. #AskFedi #Knitting #Crochet #FibreArts #UK

Despite feeling very tired today, me and the fatigue have managed to finish a task, crocheting a cover for disintegrating headphones. They should make it another few years without covering us in orange shreds any more. #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle #Crochet

I have just completed a granny square, following a video by Bella Coco. It is an absolute mess, I've got too many stitches in some places, not enough in others, the tension is a shambles. BUT, I can tell there is a pattern and it is a square. Now I won't feel quite so stupid when I go to create and chat next week. Perfectly normal that I would want to try and practice a granny square before someone teaches me how to do a granny square 😬 People often assume that since I am good with a needle and thread, can do bobbin lace and generally like crafty stuff, that crochet would be easy for me. Oh that is not so, crochet is a magic that I really need to push myself with. Now I can go get breakfast and ignore crochet for the rest of the day 😂 #Crochet

¿Alguien que sepa de matemáticas me puede ayudar con una cosa del ganchillo? He ido apuntando cuántas vueltas llego a hacer con cada ovillo y me gustaría usarlo para calcular cuánto rendirán los ovillos a partir de aquí. Por ejemplo, con el primer ovillo hice 14 vueltas. Con el segundo ovillo llegué a 24, así que con el segundo ovillo sólo hice 10. El tercero ha dado para 5, el cuarto para 4 y medio, el quinto para 4 y el sexto para 3 y medio. No sé si la tendencia va a seguir así y que el séptimo de para 3, el octavo para 2 y medio o si va cambiar. Si algo recuerdo de las parábolas era que tendían al infinito de manera constante y suave. Por si queréis más datos, cada vuelta suma 6 puntos altos a la anterior. Es decir, la primera vuelta fueron 6 puntos más tres cadenetas* La segunda vuelta, 12 puntos, más 3 cadentas. La tercera 18 + 3. Y así progresivamente (menos cuando se me va la pinza y me como algún punto) *En realidad la primera vuelta son 3 cadenetas de altura que equivalen a un punto alto, y 5 altos. Y se mantiene para el resto, en la segunda vuelta son 3 cadenetas de altura y 11 puntos altos. #ganchillo #crochet #matemáticas #fediAyuda

Good morning everyone 🌞 I'm up early with the parrots today and have just put Ziggy in after a brief cuddle, and some biting, since this morning she has decided that my right hand offends her and has been attacking it. No idea what the poor hand has done to deserve this, but she's rightly miffed by it that's for sure. I often think that they should send us parrot people to the first encounter with an alien race. We're definitely the most experienced in alien behaviour that's for sure 😂 I finally managed to track down the missing yarn delivery that Royal Mail say I had asked to be left in my safe place ( I hadn't since we were home all day) which turned out to be stuffed behind a neighbour's pot plant on their back step, so I'll be able to make a start on the competition toy tomorrow as well as working on the latest crochet order. Today is co-op BG3 day though. Last week we had an absolute blast in the Mausoleum, figuring out puzzles and taking on, and defeating the Orthon, which was really tough - both Gale and Shadowheart were dead by the end and Ethera perilously close to it. Even Grognak was on low health and not a healing spell or potion between us. But we managed it in the end; Ethera using her flying ability to stay out of reach of the merregons and recasting Call Lighting and Grognak just battering the heck out of everything 😊 Looking forward to more adventures today! Have a very lovely day, whatever you get up to. Have fun. It's the elixir of Life 🤗 #GoodMorning #Parrots #Crochet #BG3 #Gaming

Good morning everyone ☀️ I am up early with the parrots today and happy not to have to rush to work again this morning ☺️ Ziggy has been seeing ghosts again today, constantly up and down my arm saying "It's okay" to herself over and over and growling at something only she can see. My attempt to ask her what was up was met with a hard nip so she's obviously upset about it all. 🥴 I reckon parrots are actually multidimensional beings, which explains a lot. Like the ghosts, the fact that you can look into their cages and they have disappeared despite there being no place really to hide. Even Toby, who is a large bird and who's cage isn't heavily decorated with toys, can just vanish from time to time. It would also explain their uncanny ability to unlock our phones, even though they have fingerprint locks on them, to the extent that I came through once to find that Ziggy was busy putting some weird plastic thing in my Amazon basket 😂 It would also explain how they are able to do exactly the opposite of what you say they will do just seconds after you say it. Multidimensional parrots. That's my theory anyway 😁 I received a new crochet order yesterday so I'll be working on that today. I did end up having to order in yarn for the competition toy as expected, so just waiting for that to arrive now before I can make a start on that one too. I will no doubt end up watching videos of people playing Stardew Valley again 😊 The photo below is a recent crochet order for a lovely lady here on Mastodon who has kindly ordered from me a couple of times now. It's her little terrier dog Zouzou. Have a very lovely day, whatever you get up to 🤗 #GoodMorning #Parrots #Crochet

Good morning Fellow Travellers on the Galactic Spiral Arm 🌌 I'm up early with the parrots again this morning and it's a chilly one at -1 C after being a balmy 10 C yesterday. Ziggy is currently curled up in my hand having her head stroked and beak crunching away. She has been a lot more content the last couple of days. I think the raging hormones have settled down again for a bit. She's not going to be happy with me tomorrow though as we are off to the V-E-T again so she can have some more blood tests. We're turning it into a military operation by taking the other two as well for beak/nail trims and checkups. 🥴 She just demanded I take her to get her medication, but now we are back in the living room she is ignoring the spoon and preening me instead. This is the routine lately. Eventually she'll decide to take the mash and then demand to be taken to her cage for breakfast. I will wait patiently and finally be rewarded with a large mug of coffee like the good parrot slave I am 😂 Plans for today are some Parrot Kitchen and then working on the latest crochet order, which is almost done, but needs final tweaks. I'll probably end up watching more videos of people playing Stardew Valley 😁 Wee reminder that next Friday, the 10th, is the draw day for my latest competition , so make sure you enter before then for a chance to win a free custom crochet toy posted to anywhere in the world. Search the #CazimodoCrochet competition hashtag for details. Have a very lovely day, whatever you get up to 🤗 #GoodMorning #Parrots #Crochet #CazimodoCrochet

Good morning Fellow Travellers on the Galactic Spiral Arm 🌌 I was supposed to have a long lie today, but after hearing lots of "Ouches!" from Grant downstairs as he was trying to give Ziggy her medication, I had to get up and sort her out. He says something spooked her as he tried to give it to her initially and then she just refused to take it after that. So, no long lie for me due to Ziggy seeing ghosts again 🥴 Mind you, Grant says he distinctly felt something brush his arm round about the same time. So spooky 😱 Once I have properly woken up with coffee - lots and lots of coffee - I will crochet again today. I did not watch ER yesterday after all, but ended up watching YouTube videos of people playing Stardew Valley again. My grandsons have taught me well 😂 Right! Ziggy has gone in to eat and my big coffee mug awaits, and probably some Stardew Valley while I'm at it 😊 Have a very lovely day, whatever you get up to 🤗 #GoodMorning #Parrots #Gaming #Crochet

Fediverse, I'm curious: What is the one/a garment you made yourself and get the most wear out of? #knitting #sewing #crochet #TunisianCrochet @fiberarts@fedigroups.social

It is complete and survived the wash! I was worried about the tassels. This is my first time making them and it felt too easy. The harlequin pieces aren't as solid as I would like and were a nightmare to sew together and line up but it was worth it. #crochet #FiberArt #FanArt #HowlsMovingCastle

Good morning Fellow Travellers around the Sun 🌞 I'm up later today after a nice long lie. Grant was going to go birding, but now it's starting raining hard so his plans might be scuppered unless it clears up again. As usual I woke from strange dreams. I was trying to buy a bouquet of lavender from people at a wedding garden party. I kept shouting at them across the fence, but I couldn't hear what they were saying back. Grant and I ended up not playing coop BG3 as planned yesterday, because he had bought Still Wakes the Deep and was keen to give that a go. We're on leave because his big half a century birthday is coming up, so he's free to do what he wants 🙂 We can play later in the week. I ended up playing my single campaign with my sorcerer instead, but even though I had headphones on I could hear the Scottish swearing from his game. It was very funny - it even has sub titles 😁 Plans for today are more cardigan crochet and Small Prophets. Have a very lovely day, whatever you get up to 🤗 #GoodMorning #Gaming #Crochet

Good morning everyone ☀️ I wasn't able to post yesterday as work was so crazy. My first call was at 7 am and I had to prep for it before hand, then the day was just back to back calls till the evening. All while I was trying to finish three documents that needed to be done before I went on leave. I didn't even have time to shower or eat and managed one coffee all day 😱 And all because of a client who won't make a decision, then when they do, either makes a bad one or changes their mind at the last minute. Anyway, that's over and I'm now on leave for two weeks. *Happy little dance* 😁 The parrots and I have been celebrating this morning by singing nursery rhymes. The girls particularly like "Baa baa black sheep" and "Twinkle twinkle little star" and have been "too too too" ing along quite the thing. I think Toby enjoyed it too as he kept going "Ooh!" 😊 Plans for today are not a lot as I am a pooped soupy after yesterday. I might game for a bit and see how it goes. I'm not taking crochet orders this leave break, but I have loads of my own wips waiting patiently for me to finish them, so I plan to work on them a bit too. I have two cardigans in progress and given that my current store bought cardigan is full of Ziggy holes, I could do with a replacement 😂 Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to 🤗 #GoodMorning #Parrots #Crochet

Awakening Woodland. Fresh spring light filters through a quiet beech woodland in this gentle fresh colourway. Soft leaf-greens, mossy speckles and hints of bark and bud create a refined, wearable palette, perfect for shawls, socks and cardigans that feel calm, uplifting and quietly luxurious for everyday joy.

Good morning everyone 🌻 Very happy to be up with the parrots and not having to worry about work 😊 I feel like I have run a marathon after this week, but luckily now it's time just to relax and have a wee cuddle with Ziggy. She's tucked into my hand at the moment, grumbling away, with the air filters and Toby munching in the background. Jadie did come forward earlier, but then Ziggy jumped on top of her cage and tried to bite her, so the poor girl has retreated back into the shadows and is hiding behind her felt snuggle. Ziggy had never accepted Jadie. She tolerates her at a distance, but will instantly attack her if she comes too close. Jadie has learned to avoid Ziggy at all costs. Jadie is larger than Zigs and could probably easily take her in a fight, but like all of the flock, even Toby, defers to the little diva who rules the roost 😁 Plans for today are some Parrot Kitchen and then crochet. I am almost finished the second toy order so I should be able to post it tomorrow. I'm going to keep my listing down for a while after that though, in an attempt to finally find time to clear out some cupboards and such like that desperately need doing. Have a very lovely day, whatever you get up to 🤗 #GoodMorning #Parrots #Crochet

Good morning everyone 🌞 I'm up early with the parrots again today and having a wee hand cuddle with Ziggy before I do my first dive into the IOD for the week. She's tucked right into my hand, head down, wee left foot up at her cheek, grumbling away with contentment as I stroke her head. These early morning moments are truly the best 😊 I had a rare burst of energy yesterday, so I ended up finally assembling a new craft trolley I ordered weeks ago and sorting the stuff out that was rapidly taking over my corner of the dining room where I sit and crochet (I sit there instead of the warm living room, because parrots - Ziggy screeches at me if I crochet and Toby just screams at me for reasons unknown 🥴). We don't use the dining room as such anymore anyway; it's been years since we had more people round than we can feed at the breakfast bar in the kitchen. It's mostly Grant's gaming and my crochet space now. I really should just sell the table and set up the room properly as a casual space. Another on a very long list of things to do 😊 Ziggy is currently "digging" down the side of the couch again so I'd better distract her and get her meds sorted so she can go in for breakfast and I can get to work. Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to 🤗 #GoodMorning #Parrots #Crochet
