It's a jute doodle! Six quadruple treble stitches are separated by some chain stitches. Instead of 5 yarn overs to begin each tall stitch, I added 5 half hitches to my crochet hook, then worked the loops off 2 by 2 as usual. I also alternated 2 colors of jute: add loops to the hook with color A, work the off with color B, then alternate that. (I'm about to update issue 3 of the newsletter. And then, issue 103!) . #crochet #halfhitch #tallstitch #crochetfun #jute #experiment https://www.instagram.com/p/CEc_IT1Jrz2/?igshid=zgrmv0dtnk6i

Tall stitch symbols I played around with while preparing to teach the Tall Stitch Virtuosity class for #cgoa2020 . They look like tasty kebabs in the top row and Sea Monkeys below them 😂 . #crochetclass #crochetsymbols #tallstitch #chainlink2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CDR4mzRJ3Bb/?igshid=4oo0ycljnyu1

Summer Flower Friends. These are bent quintuple treble stitches (6 initial yarn overs). Happy July 4th! Happy full moon! . #crochetdesign #crochetnecklace #tallstitch #everydaycrochet #cgoa2020 #chainlink2020 #crochetclass #threadcrochet #crochetflower https://www.instagram.com/p/CCPJfpvpHFL/?igshid=k660v047cs9c

I've been experimenting with crocheting letters by using linked and y-stitches. It's taken several attempts! Still rough around the edges. I'm going to keep trying. In the '80s I did professional calligraphy. This is a new experience! . #crochetletters #crochetswatch #tallstitch #crochetjewelry #blm https://www.instagram.com/p/CBRecFygIp_/?igshid=2si75cdunhg1

All right so I'm trying out a tall-stitch flower motif but as an edging, and alternating an old gold color with an old silver color of thread I bought in Paris to see what happens with a glass of wine, to then see if this is the way I want to spruce up a Moleskine notebook. If it is, I shall blog it. I'm wondering if this Scheepjes Maxi Sweet Treat crochet thread might satisfy my longing for the discontinued Opera thread 🤔 #tallstitch #crochetedging #crochetersofinstagram #crochetmotif #scheepjessweettreat #parisyarnshop #crochetthread #quarantinecrochet https://www.instagram.com/p/B-nNRlJJome/?igshid=79w7kuv7pg5k

Swatched disks of triple trebles and quadruple trebles with afternoon light through a window. I blogged about using 6 stitch heights and the mathematical formula for them. (Some testing for my Tall Stitch Virtuosity class.) https://www.designingvashti.com/tall-stitch-circles/ #crochetclass #crochetteacher #tallstitch #longstitch #longtreble #crochetcircle #crochetblogger #crochetblog #cgoa #crochetskills https://www.instagram.com/p/B-SbgT3pk4x/?igshid=mu71o6nww7h0
