#afghancrochet — Public Fediverse posts

With Mavis' and Chicken's blessings, I'm excited to be donating this latest wacky afghan to be used as a raffle fundraiser for the lovely church that hosts our weekly knitting circle gatherings. #AfghanCrochet #Crochet

Did I mention that I can make wacky afghan creations for every setting and colour palette? Winnie and Mavis are fond of this one in neutral tones ... #AfghanCrochet #Crochet

Did I mention that my latest wacky creation is going swimmingly? #AfghanCrochet #Crochet

Celebrating the completion of another wacky afghan, heading soon to a new home! #AfghanCrochet #Crochet

Did I mention that the afghan wackiness continues ... and yes, parts of this new one are twinkling! #Crochet #AfghanCrochet

My wacky afghan support/supervisor Airedale Mavis deems this latest project complete and ready to be sent to a new home. (And yes, this is book-related because I often work on these Tunisian crochet afghans while listening to audiobooks ...!) #Crochet #AfghanCrochet #TunisianCrochet

My latest wacky afghan project shows that wackiness can even happen with neutral tones. What do you think? #Crochet #AfghanCrochet #CrochetAfghan

Mavis' rigorous approval process completed, our latest wacky crocheted afghan (purples!) is now ready to head to a new home! #Crochet #AfghanCrochet

Mavis gave her support throughout, and now gives her approval to send another wacky afghan to a new home. Especially now, let's do what we can to brighten each other's days and spirits. #AfghanCrochet #Crochet #Airedale

I made a scarf using Afghan crochet for my cat.

Listening to #audiobooks and #AfghanCrochet'ing go very, very nicely together ...

We're sending another wacky #AfghanCrochet project off to a new home! And again, it is Mavis-approved ...

(... and I should point out that this is book and reading-related, because I often listen to audiobooks while working on these creations.)

With Mavis' approval, we're sending another afghan crochet creation to a new home in a few days. #AfghanCrochet #dogsofmastodon

"each name a number
each bright garb a uniform -
we, damp stardust,

whiffing yeast,
rise in the dark
like an unknown sun."

I have another #AfghanCrochet project well under way, again and always with Team Airedale support and approval. I like to keep it book and reading related for the most part ... and, in fact, this is a book-related post because Mavis and Tilly are my steadfast reading companions, and I often crochet while listening to audiobooks.

"Go now and rummage back to find
some odds and ends that may have been consigned
to dusty boxes somewhere in the mind.
Put them together and make of them a book
with ragged, bone-white leaves and a leather look."

Launching into a new #crochet project, with random colours, textures and shapes - mostly afghan crochet, but with a new foray into mosaic crochet!

#AfghanCrochet #MosaicCrochet #Mosstodon (yes, part of my inspiration is moss-related!)

This weekend, Mavis and I decided that my latest afghan crochet blob thingy (inspired in part by #Mosstodon, did you know?) is done. On to something new! #crochet #AfghanCrochet #DogsofMastodon

I should point out that I normally post about #reading and #poetry. This post is, in fact, relevant because:
1. Mavis is named in part after Mavis Gallant.
2. I crochet a lot while listening to audiobooks, including books I've been listening to this month as part of #TheSealeyChallenge.

8/31: AN AMERICAN SUNRISE by Joy Harjo (2019 WW Norton) https://tinyurl.com/3tbs45by & https://tinyurl.com/wzeva79y

"The daughter of a warrior who wouldn’t give up.
I wasn’t ready yet, to fling free the cross
I ran and I ran through the 2 a.m. streets.

It was my way of breaking free. I was anything but history.
I was the wind."

I enjoyed creating this unstructured afghan so much ... https://mastodon.social/@bookgaga/110273257959241226 ... I decided to make another one, with a different palette. This is still a work-in-progress, but getting close to completion. Or, well, how does one know when it's done? Anyhow, having fun! (And did I mention that part of my inspiration for this approach comes from #Mosstodon?) #AfghanCrochet #TunisianCrochet #Crochet @crochet

Me and my muses just finished a #crochet project about which we're chuffed. It started out as an unstructured way of just using up odds and ends from other projects, and kind of took on a colourful, abstract life of its own.
