🌸 Magical Ghoul 🌸

A little for those days when you feel stuck.

1 black tea bag (I am fond of lapsang souchong when I have it because the smokiness is perfect. But use whatever works best for you!)

Cinnamon chips

Ginger root

Orange peel

Adjust the proportions to suit your taste. I tend to prefer a little more orange peel, but my aunt always preferred a more cinnamon-forward note.

As the tea steeps for 5 minutes, watch the steam for a moment. Say, "Heat to the herb, life to the bone. I'm taking back control, I'm taking back the throne."

Adding honey and milk to your tastes and sip your tea, visualizing pulling yourself out of your rut and breaking through obstacles.

Lost my mind a little and added (if my math is correct) 5,615 beads to Nim Teasdale's Odenwald pattern. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing!

The goal was “soothingly weighted but not uncomfortable to wear, even as someone with chronic pain.” It could have been a little heavier, so maybe I’ll make a shawl with larger beads another time, but I’m very pleased with this one. I used size 6/0 seed beads, applied as I go with a .6mm crochet hook.

Yarn-wise, used 2 cakes of YarnArt Flowers. I knitted the fully purple sections from both, then knitted all the way through the yellow-oranges with a single ball. When I hit the beginning of red-oranges, I used yarn from both cakes, alternating between them. (Not the entirety of both, I played it by ear to make sure I made it through the full rainbow.)

I do have edited charts with bead placements. I will only share them with Nim's permission.
