Started making a blanket in October 24th 2023.
Just finished it.
Made using crochet with pre-looped yarn and it was my first time using that sort of yarn.
I think that *actual making* was probably 6 - 8 (?) hours, I had ten balls of yarn.
Enjoyed it a lot! Learned quite a bit about stitch directionality and also ways to deal with dropped and/ or extra loops.

I’m working on more moss embroideries right now, and also writing an article that will be published in Spring 2026 (I’ll share it then!).
Since I get easily burnt out doing the same thing over and over, I’m thinking about adding some variety. Maybe a tapestry, painting, stamp-making, or something else entirely. I might be headed towards making a sort of 'bonbon shop of art' instead of fully focusing on embroidery. Just creating small things that make life better.
Close-up of one moss embroidery in the hoop. The patch is a mix of soft green wool, textured stitches, and tiny details, resembling a tuft of moss with small white mushroom-like shapes growing from it.
An embroidery hoop holding four textured moss embroideries in different shades of green. Each circular patch is densely stitched and layered to resemble natural mossy mounds, with varied stitches and bead details. A needle and loose green thread rest nearby.

Early sneak peek of #WIP composer UI relayout.
(still on my local dev, not dev site)
Today in my #wip I will be making a volcano erupt and sending thousands of refugees into a nearby city.

I have officially finished the Unicorn herself and despite some setbacks that had me spiraling for about an hour I got a lot accomplished today and am hoping to get a lot done over the long weekend. #dbcraftalong #db2025 #fiberart #fanart #thelastunicorn #handmade #tapestry #wip

Slowly working my way through the prototypes of my upcoming designs, yesterday with the second sea slug magnet!
I’m super happy with it, though I might adjust the shape of the foot flappies a bit.
Coral reef collection should arrive mid to end of September!
