💀 This WIP Wednesdy, I've been giving my wrist/tension-finger a little break from my beloved 4-ply cotton yarns and working on a larger lost souls straight scarf! I generally prefer to use natural fibres and a 3.5/4mm hook, however my hands don't always agree, so every few days I try and switch it up with a more forgiving yarn and a bigger hook! Plus, it's definitely satisfying watching a project work up so quickly with the 6mm and a bouncy acrylic 😊 Do you have any techniques for reducing hand-fatigue? Or are you blessed with wrists/joints of steel aha? 🔩 Pattern: Lost Souls Shawl/Scarf (@fiberspider Youtube Tutorial) Yarn: (Left) Lion Brand Heartland in "Joshua Tree" (Right) Cotton Kings Sultan Shadow in "Black/Olive/13" - - - - - - - - - - #halloweencrochet #lostsoulsshawl #crochetskullshawl #crochetskullscarf #lostsoulsskullshawl #skullscarf #crochetskull #yarnlover #altcrochet #alternativecrochet #gothcrochet #gothfashion #spookycrochet #hobbiiyarn #hobbii #hobbiishoutout #hobbiibingocom #hobbiicrochet #crochetgram #yarnpunk #moderncrochet #vancouvermakers #crochethalloween #crochetersofinstagram #makeitwithmichaels #hobbiisultanshadow #lionbrandheartland #clovercrochethooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CjEaxaMvAtz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🖤 Made another little cutie based off @stellasyarnuniverse "Little Bird Amigurumi" Pattern. This time I was patient enough to wait until my safety eyes arrived 😆 I also added a bit of eyelash yarn to represent the scruffy look the crows get during their molting season, and used craft wire for their lil clawed feets 🖤 Thousands of crows fly over my city everyday, and its always fascinating to watch them commute from their communal roost to their various family territories and hangouts across the city, before returning back to the roost in the evening to raid the nearby dumpsters and catch up on the day's events with each other 🖤 https://www.instagram.com/p/ChYJI9dvjYL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🪐 Finally found my old jewelry making supplies & charms and whipped up this fun little stitch marker! I'm notorious for snapping those plastic ones, so it'll be nice to have some that are sturdier and more satisfying to look at! 😊 https://www.instagram.com/p/ChJYKUNgyPJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🪨 I always love it when a yarn's colorway reminds me of a seemingly mundane yet very specific object, and I'm especially loving this cobblestone effect of this yarn and stitch combo. They seem to play off each other perfectly! What do you look for when choosing a yarn color? https://www.instagram.com/p/ChFkX3mp-6n/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Got a little impatient waiting for the safety eyes to arrive 😅 I still think he looks pretty cute nevertheless! Pattern "Little Bird" by: @stellasyarnuniverse (minus the eyes and wings) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChDXWsZPikO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

💜 Here's little sneak peak on my upcoming debut pattern! It's the perfect piece for the transition from summer to fall weather, and I can't wait to share more of it soon! It is currently in testing and the anticipated release date is August 22, so keep an eye out around that time for more details! 💜 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg8VsgfLnoo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
