A Crafter, Lost In Time

People are still raving about it! I’m so proud!

Next up is my 30th birthday- a Japanese themed costume party on September 29th.

But first, pics from the luau!

A new type of crochet Plumeria I picked up. The smaller one was made with a size 1.5mm hook and the larger one was made with a 3.25mm hook and is as large as the previous flowers.

Here’s the pattern:

1. Magic Ring, 2. 4 sc into ring, slst into fist sc, 3. ch 3 (counts as first dc), 2 dc in same st, 3 dc in each st around, slst in 3rd ch, 4. slst in next st, *ch 4, sk 2 sts, slst in next st, rep around (5 ch4 loops), slst into slst, 5. Into each ch 4 loop around work: slst, ch1, 10 dc, ch1, slst, 6. Into each petal around work starting at first workable stitch:      i. slst      ii. sc, hdc      iii. hdc, dc      iv. dc, dc      v. tc, tc      vi. tc, tc      vii. dc, tc      viii. dc, hdc      ix. hdc, sc tc into post of r1 (there’s 5 posts- one for each petal), finish with a slst in first petal and bind off. Note that not all the stitches of the petal will be used before the tc into r1.

st / sts = stitch / stitches

ch = chain

r = round

sk = skip

rep = repeat

slst = slip stitch

sc = single crochet

dc = double crochet

hdc = half double crochet

Day 30 – Spoonie Witch! Sum up what being a Spoonie witch means to you! What has it taught you? What are you thankful for? What is there still to learn?

Day 29 – doctors and hospitals Share a way to be witchy when in hospitals, or a witchy tip for doctors appointments (e.g. a sigil for better communication)

Doctors have never made me nervous or anything.. The best tip I can give is not a witchy one but to just keep a journal and then before the doctors visit write a short summary for him or her to read over if you're bad at communicating. Take the whole journal as well in case they ask to see it for further reading or information or need clarification on anything (exactly when a symptom started or whatever).

Day 28 – witch-crafting Do you enjoy doing any craft activities? Eg. Jewellery making, crochet, sewing. Do you incorporate magic into these? Do you have a witchy DIY to share?

I do ALL forms of crafts and try to incorporate magic into them any way I possibly can. The best one I've found is crochet (knitting, tatting, and other forms of knotwork work the same) With every stitch, state your intention. It can work with sewing as well, but I've found it's most powerful with actual knotwork.
