🚨[FREE BABY SEASHELL PATTERN!]🚨 Once upon a time, in the deep blue ocean, there was a tiny Baby Seashell. She lived among the mermaids 🧜🏻♀️ crabs 🦀 and octopuses 🐙 in a beautiful underwater world 🌊 The Baby Seashell loved to play hide-and-seek with her octopus friends and listen to the beautiful songs 🎶 of the mermaids. She would also often explore the nearby coral reefs 🪸 marveling at the vibrant colors and the exotic sea creatures that called it home. Despite being small, the Baby Seashell had a big heart ❤️ and always looked out for her friends, whether it was helping a crab mend a broken shell or sharing a tasty seaweed snack with the mermaids. Life was full of adventure and wonder in the deep ocean, and the Baby Seashell couldn't wait to see what each new day would bring! 🥰 Baby Seashell is a FREE addition to my Kawaii Ocean Minis crochet pattern that includes Mermaid, Triton, Octopus, Hermit Crab and Seahorse and is available here -> https://etsy.me/41Oz4GU 😊 FREE Crochet pattern for amigurumi Baby Seashell is available in English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese and Danish, browse through the gallery to see all of these languages! 🤗 Happy crocheting and have a wonderful weekend, dear friends! 💛💙

Here are all the tour de fleece 2024 skeins after washing them.
I really like how all the skeins turned out!
First, some background. I have been spinning since at least 2006 (that’s the year listed on ravelry and my old blog for some of my earliest handspun-knit projects). I have been participating in tour de fleece (on and off) since 2008. Some years I spun only one or two skeins, most years I spun a handful of skeins. This past year is the winner for the most skeins I’ve spun.
Everything except one skein was spun and plied on my new electric spinner (one yarn was spun on a spindle and then plied on the e-spinner).
Here’s all the details:
Frabjous fibers, BFL, 4oz - Deep space 114.5g, 246.5 yards, dk, chain plied
Rabbit (labeled as Agouti)
42.6g, 135 yards, dk, chain plied and has a slight halo
TurboFluffed creations, merino/silk/bamboo, 4oz - Equinox
111.5g, 208 yards, dk/worsted, 2 ply
TurboFluffed creations, merino/silk, 4oz - Leo
107g, 481.5 yards, fingering, 2 ply, singles were spun on spindle
Into the whirled, superwash cheviot, 4oz - dramatic pause
128.7g, 125 yards, worsted, chain-plied, slightly overplied
Malabrigo Nube, merino, 4oz - Diana
111.5g, 395 yards, fingering, chain plied
Little bean loves yarn, merino/silk, 4oz - Neon acid / Ember
115.9g, 194 yards, dk/worsted, chain plied
Cece’s yarn, merino/acrylic/rayon, 4oz - happy accident
115.1g, 391 yards, fingering, 2 ply
Cece’s yarns, wool/acrylic/rayon, 4oz - penstemon
112.2g, 345 yards, dk/worsted, 2ply
TurboFluffed creations, 4 oz, 23 micron merino - Heavenly
116.2 g, 225 yards, dk, chain plied
TurboFluffed creations, 4 oz, 23 micron merino - Finding emo
115.4g, 187.5 yards, worsted, 2 ply
Cece’s yarn, 8oz, wool/acrylic/rayon - Seashell
230.1g, 533 yards, sport/dk, chain plied
Dirty girl yarns, rambouillet top, 4 oz, Lagoon/tropical drazi
113.2 g, 206 yards, worsted, chain plied
I think my favorites are these two:
…but I can’t wait to figure out patterns and knit/crochet/weave with each of them!
Any favorites? Or ones that immediately tell you what kind of project they want to be made in to?
I’m now completely done reporting on the 2024 tour de fleece - until I start knitting with it!

Sally’s Seashell Satchel 🐚
I may be a knitting Nurse Shark, but I thought it would be Shell-fish (I’m so sorry I had too) not to share this amazing summer pattern! I used doubled up cotton which nearly broke my fingers, but it’s worth it for the amazing shape it gives the shell. The video tutorials for these patterns are available on youtube so I will be link those, however if anyone knows of ravelry listings for them please let me know and I can link them too :)
See the Crochet seashell bag video tutorial and bag strap tutorial below!

The Pinned Post
About Me
I've been knitting for the past ~13 years or so, and picked up crochet in the past three. This is a sideblog where I mainly talk about my knitting, but also what crochet and other clothes- and fashion-related things I'm up to. Hands-on projects are my way of relaxing, so I've typically got multiple projects going.
I can also be found on Ravlery as pseudacrisregilla.
Pseudacris regilla is the scientific name of the Pacific tree frog. If you want to call me by a name other than my full URL, Regilla will work just fine. I use she/they pronouns.
Projects List
WIP
Lovely Lightweight Tee by Purl Soho - knitting in Purl Soho's Buttercup Cotton (100% cotton) in cedar wood
Contrast Cuff Hat + Hand Warmers by Purl Soho - knitting in Purl Soho's Speckled Hen (80% baby alpaca, 20% fine merino wool) in field mint and fennel green (project tag | yarn tag)
HIBERNATING

FINISHED
Maille by Bristol Ivy - knitting in Quince & Co.'s owlet (50% American wool, 50% alpaca) in albertine (project tag | yarn tag)
Interests
I primarily knit for myself, so I like choosing projects that I will wear for years. I tend to knit sweaters and light shirts, as well as fingerless gloves. I like knitting projects that I can pack in a bag.
I enjoy lace knitting and cable patterns. I'm aiming to learn how to do colorwork, but I haven't picked that up yet.
I tag knitting projects that inspire me as #inspo. I tag cool tips and techniques for knitting with #tips & techniques.

Sneaking some mori kei into my work fits! I need pants in more colours, but I'll try and work on that. I haven't worn pants in almost 10 years and for my new job pants are just more useful soooo :D
Suddenly I'm wearing pants again, haha!
Each outfit has two thrifted items: The mori kei-inspired one on the left has a thrifted sage-green blouse with cream-coloured flowers on it and a golden crocheted short-sleeved shrug. You can barely see the crochet shrug in this picture though, as it's pretty much covered by my scarf and off-white cardigan I'm wearing over it.
For the hama kei outfit the midnight-blue short-sleeved blouse-esque shirt is thrifted as well as the lacy midnight-blue cardigan are thrifted. The head scarf has been a fast fashion find that I had forever and the blue pants I bought this summer during my little birthday holiday with my mum (I wanted more lightweight pants for summer, that I can wear for work!).
For anyone wondering what hama kei even is: hama kei is a substyle or sister style of mori kei. While mori mean forest and you have lots of cream and white colours, lace and earth tones within the fashion hama translates to beach and you have the traditional layers of mori kei, along with beach related themes like seashells, sailor motives and ocean colours. This hama kei outfit reads very "ocean" to me - maybe even with a dash of mermaid influence thanks to my long open hair.
[id]Picture 1: OP is a young white fat woman with glasses and long brown hair worn in a long braid over her shoulder. She's wearing jeans and a sage green blouse with cream coloured flowers printed onto it (you can see the white undershirt peaking out at the bottom). Over the blouse she wears a golden crocheted shrug (barely visible in the picture), an off-white neckscarf with pompoms on it and an off-white knit cardigan with lace details. She's smiling at the camera and kind of holding onto the pointed ends of her cardigan.
Picture 2: OP is a young white fat woman with glasses and long brown hair. She's tied her open hair back with a lacy off-white scarf. She's wearing a dark blue blouse-like shirt with a dark-blue cardigan worn over it. Her pants are also dark-blue (all the colours match really well) with a geometrical white pattern printed all over them. The cuffs of the pants have smaller white details. Black shoes are also there, because shoes are kind of necessary. She's holding a folded up magenta/violet umbrella and kind of smirking at the camera.[/id]
#light green/sage coloured blouse is thrifted#casual mori#left: mori kei inspired#i mean with a skirt/skirts in general it would be a good mori kei fit#but pants are more useful for my job#i would like some brown pants or golden ones or... like other colours#right outfit is hama kei#not even hama kei inspired i'd say it's straight up hama kei#eye contact#image described#fashion described#image description#hama kei outfit: blouse and cardigan are thrifted

[If he planned the shipping properly, Peter SHOULD be getting a box today, assuming he's at home to receive it. Inside, on top of everything else, is a papercraft card of a microphone, an album, and stars. Or, well, that's what it's clearly supposed to be: the lines are wavering and jagged from Raivis's tremor and inability to cut steadily, but by god did he try his best! Mans Kaijaspārnš, Daudz laimes dzimšanas dienā! Happy Birthday to you. I hope this year brings you nothing but joy, love, and success. Every year I am honored to be friends with someone so determined, kind, funny, and bright. Continue being a light for those around you, and never forget to shine on yourself sometimes. Here's to a great year and many more to come. Love, Raivis
Inside are a tiny pair of mittens in a traditional Latvian pattern, though the colors are in white, and pastels of pink, yellow, and orange like one might typically associate with seashells. There's a tiny pair of matching socks, too, and a little crocheted seagull plush made of the softest yarn he could find. Please ignore that one of the eyes is very kinda wonky. Now, for the actual birthday boy, Raivis has sent over some gingerbread cookies cut into stars and music notes, though a few have cracked on the trip over. There's a homemade bookmark made with high-quality cardstock paper, pressed flowers, watercolors, and in the best writing he could manage, a quote from one of Peter's books. A cord is tied through the bottom and hangs down, woven in threads of black, blue, royal purple, and shimmering gold. There are a few trinkets that he's bought from artist markets while on various business trips, ones that he saved up specifically to send to him. Lastly, there's a DVD with "DAINAS" written in sharpie. Peter said he wanted to see his choir work, but seeing as he's so busy, it might not happen. So, he managed to film a session. Is the footage grainy? Hell yes, but at least the audio is halfway decent and the quality is good enough to see faces. There's a sticky note on the case: I show you my songs, now you need to send me the link to your livestreams! With a little heart next to it. ]
[He's just coming home from his birthday party, carrying Sadaf in her car seat up to his door]
[Yeah, she's getting fussy]
I know, I know, we did eat too much cake, didn't we... Wait, what's...
[He pauses to read the shipping label and, beyond his exhaustion from today, feels a flutter of renewed excitement]
[He carries the box inside with him and sets Sadaf in his shoulder sling so they can open the box together]
[He reads the note and puts his hand on his chest] Oh, Rai...
[A few minutes later, Raivis's phone is blowing up with text messages]
[A photo of Sadaf trying on her new knitted set. Unfortunately, they're slightly too big, but she'll grow into them]
[Next, a photo of the trinkets sitting on Peter's bookshelf and work desk, with Jack and Rosé sniffing at them]
[Next, is a video]
[Sadaf is in the middle of her fussy crying despite being in her rocking cradle, but there's very familiar music playing in the background]
[Her fussing weakens, her eyes drawn to the television, and after she yawns, her eyes slowly drift closed]
[Finally, a photo of Sadaf asleep, cozy in her mittens and socks, the sweetest grin on her face as her head is turned to the plush toy sitting above her like a guardian angel on duty]
[text:] Everything was beautiful, Raivis! Thank you! 😍

Book Recommendations: National Craft Month
Crafting Change by Jessica Vitkus
You don't have to be old enough to vote to drive political change.
In Crafting Change, author, TV producer, and craftivist Jessica Vitkus explores the rich lineage of craftivism, with profiles of craftivisit icons, many of whom are women and people of color. This YA non-fiction book shines a light on artist-driven projects like This Is Not a Gun - workshops where people sculpt objects the police have mistaken for a gun in fatal shootings -- alongside creative movements that mobilized entire communities, like the AIDS Memorial Quilt and the Pussyhat project for the 2017 Women's March. This engaging narrative combines compelling artist interviews with full-color photos of creators and crafts alike.
Hoop Quilts for Beginners by Anne Marie Chany
Quick, easy, and fun, the craft of hoop quilts combine simple quilting techniques with embroidery, patchwork, and other favorite fabric arts. A creative guide that’s perfect for quilters and crafters, Hoop Quilts for Beginners features 15 hoop-framed block designs of all different sizes with step-by-step instructions and clear guidance for adding hand embroidery and other embellishments, resulting in stunning wall hangings and handmade gifts. A great way to use up some scrap fabric and make something beautiful without committing to an entire quilt, transform single blocks into impressive projects and practice a variety of sewing and embroidery techniques with this exciting, must-have source of inspiration!
Easy Crochet for Beginners by Nicki Trench
Nicki Trench, one of the leading figures in the revival and promotion of home crafts, has designed a series of patterns that will guide you from the initial crochet stitches to producing beautiful projects incorporating a wide range of techniques. Starting you off is “Crochet Know-How,” which explains all the stitches with clear step-by-step artwork and instructions. Next, there are three chapters packed with patterns to improve your skills. In “Starting Out,” you will find a simple springtime afghan and a pretty hat for a toddler, both of which you’ll find amazingly easy and quick to create. Once you’ve mastered these, “Practice Makes Perfect” provides more of a challenge. Whip up some cute gifts for babies and young children, including baby bibs and blankets, or treat yourself to a pair of gloves in soft light-worsted yarn and a chunky seashell scarf to keep you warm on cold mornings. Finally, “Confident Crocheting” has more advanced patterns, ranging from a family of adorable dolls to a cherub dress with decorative picot stitching.
Polymer Clay Jewelry by Linda Peterson
Polymer clay is the material of choice and you will learn how to use free-form techniques and bead-rolling tools to create several styles. Sculpted effects, simulations of semi-precious stones, photo-image transfers, and use of glitter and organic material mean the beads you make will be unique. All the tools you will need are listed, and finishing techniques, such as sanding, buffing and sealing, are described. Detailed instructions on how to use your own work to create stylish and individual pieces of jewelry, including necklaces, bracelets, and earrings are also included. Basic techniques, such as stringing and fixing clasps, lead on to assembling all the components in designs and styles ranging from contemporary and elegant to simple and plain fun. Beginners and more advanced practitioners alike will find both practical advice and plenty of inspiration.

15 Questions
'Tagged' by @residentdormouse. Shy AF and hoping some lovely folks who would like to respond would choose to! HEY RO. *pokes* That's you. @ronearoundblindly 💨
1.) Are you named after anyone?
I am not named after anyone, but 2 of my children are!
2.) When was the last time you cried?
I cried 2 days ago explaining something I saw on Tumblr to my husband (I'm the person that cries when something is beautiful, hah). Short version: the piece of music played at the end of M*A*S*H* prompted a bunch of people to call in and ask the guy running the NYC classical station what piece it was. He pointed out in an article/interview afterwards that more people heard that piece of music than heard it the first time it was ever played. Thinking about whether the music touched people that time as much as the first people to ever hear it really got me.
3.) Do you have kids?
Yep, I have 3 kids, they're 13, 10, and 8.
4.) Do you use sarcasm a lot?
A lot less than I used to, come to think of it. Few enough now that I think I'm gonna have to say 'no' for once!
5.) What’s the first thing you notice about people?
I notice their eyes and hair, I think. I love the various combinations of hair color + eye color so much. My middle daughter's eyes, freckles, and hair are all the same hazel-brown color and I think that's SO cool.
6.) What’s your eye color?
My eyes are very dark brown with a tiny little ring of dark blue at the very edge. I never realized this until my oldest was born and I was remarking to my husband about their eyes and he was like, 'Uh, that's what YOUR eyes look like, honey!'
7.) Scary movies or happy endings?
Happy endings, always.
8.) Any special talents?
I have a photographic memory, and I'm very good with yarn crafts. There are multiple pattern magazines in print with pictures of things I've made for a designer who contracted me to create the finished product example.
9.) Where were you born?
I was born in a hospital on the California coast. My birth certificate has a seashell on it.
10.) What are your hobbies?
I am a voracious knitter and crocheter. I self-designed Cap's shield made out of thread for Ro last year, and have made and given away many blankets and other things.
11.) Do you have pets?
I do not, as my husband is allergic. When one daughter was 5 she asked if her father died, could we have a cat? I said I liked him more than any hypothetical cat. She then asked if maybe all of us died, maybe we could have a cat in heaven? Kids, man.
12.) What sports do you play/have played?
Does synchronized marching band count? No? ok.
13.) How tall are you?
I'm 4 inches shorter than Tony Stark, and 1 inch shorter than RDJ.
14.) Favorite subject in school?
HISTORY. Though writing would have taken a close second but I went to a very poor school that had no classes like that.
15.) Dream job?
Honestly? Probably a geologist. Novelist as a close second.
Click under the tag to see a pic of my kiddo's eye?? IDK, I think it's cool
#response games#thanks for the tag!#my children are every bit as extra as I am#the rdj / Tony joke is that Tony's meant to be 6 foot tall but Robert is... not.#but tbqf when Robert wears lifts they really accentuate his ass#so is anyone really complaining??

What does Faith's house look like?
The Westfall plains stretched out like a rumpled blanket beneath a sky that seemed impossibly vast. A lone farmhouse stood defiant against the wind's relentlessness, its weathered paint whispering stories of countless sunrises and howling nights. Once, a fiery red had adorned its clapboard walls, but time and the elements had stripped it bare, leaving behind a patchwork of sun-bleached wood and the occasional stubborn ember of crimson peeking through.
The white blades of a windmill turned languidly with the breeze that stood like a lone sentinel across the field. Closer to the house, a horse barn leaned comfortably against the afternoon sun. On occasion, you might hear the stomping of hooves or a hungry whinny.
Two steps deep, a small front porch boasting a rocking chair offered shady respite from the Westfall heat. The screen door rattled against its frame with every gust of wind. While its paint was peeling in curls and its mesh held an occasional tear, it was oddly welcoming – always left slightly ajar as if in perpetual invitation. Pushing through it, a visitor would be greeted by the scent of wood smoke, sun-warmed linens, and a hint of fresh-baked bread.
Inside, the living room was a haven of function, practicality, and worn comfort. Sunlight, filtered through lace curtains and onto a threadbare rug of faded floral patterns. A well-worn sofa, its stuffing escaping in valiant puffs from worn seams, sported a patchwork quilt crafted from countless squares of mismatched fabric. Each patch held a story, one that Faith would gladly tell you about if ever asked – a forgotten childhood dress, a favorite shirt worn thin by a long-gone father, and scraps of fabric gifted to Faith by a cherished friends.
A rocking chair, its wood darkened with years of gentle swaying, sat near a stone fireplace and promised relief for aching legs. The smoke stained hearth hinted at crackling warmth that would chase away the chill of a Westfall night. Above the fireplace, a mantelpiece displayed a collection of mismatched seashells, a souvenir from a trip to the distant coast Lewis (Faith's father) had surprised her with decades ago. Each shell, nestled amongst faded photographs and a chipped porcelain teacup, held a memory of a life lived fully.
Branching off the living room were two modest bedrooms. The one to the left, undoubtedly Faith's, held a simple wooden bed adorned with a crocheted bedspread in shades of sunshine yellow and sky blue. Beside it, a nightstand painted robin-egg blue and crackled just the same, held a leather bound book with its pages softened from countless readings. “Psalms of the Light” scrolled across the creased spine. A dresser and a clouded mirror stood lonely against the wall. Faith had nothing but memories to hide and those wanting to pilfer her dresser drawers would find nothing but letters tied with faded ribbon, a collection of mismatched buttons, and a worn photograph of a younger Faith with a mischievous grin.
Across the hall, the guest room held a similar sense of worn comfort. A dull white daybed lay covered with a patchwork quilt similar to the one in the living room. A worn rocking chair beside the window offered the perfect vantage point to watch the sunset over the distant plains. A shelf above the bed held a collection of well-loved books – classic novels with cracked spines, worn volumes on gardening and horse care, and a dog-eared copy of Anetta’s (Faith’s mother) favorite poetry collection.
The heart of the house, however, was the kitchen. Sunlight streamed through a window above the sink, illuminating a wooden table with mismatched chairs. Its surface, scarred with countless knife nicks and heat rings had undoubtedly hosted many meals. Open shelves displayed chipped mugs adorned with that same floral pattern Faith seemed to love so much, enamel plates, and scratched crockery.
Beyond the house, nestled discreetly amongst a grove of cottonwood trees, stood a small outhouse. Its weathered boards and creaky door promised privacy. A single, open window high on the back offered reprieve from unpleasant aromas.
Further out, a small graveyard marked the final resting place of loved ones. Lewis and Anetta Dorman lay side by side, their headstones carefully etched with their names, dates of birth, and dates of their passing. A simple bouquet of wildflowers, forever frozen at the peak of beauty (probably by some enchantment) rested on Anetta and Lewis’s headstones. Surrounding them lay simpler markers: A rusty horseshoe (for a horse named Rusty), a porcelain dog figurine (for a faithful mutt named Scout), and a cracked teacup (for a mischievous calico cat named Callie).

When it comes to planning your dream wedding, choosing the perfect dress is a pivotal part of the journey. With a vast array of options available, Florida brides are fortunate to have access to an exquisite selection of wedding dresses that embody elegance, sophistication, and tropical allure. Let's embark on a journey through the enchanting world of wedding dresses in Florida, where you can find a style that reflects your individuality and sets the stage for a truly unforgettable celebration.
Coastal Chic: Embracing the Breezy Vibe
With its stunning coastline and tropical landscapes, Florida inspires wedding dresses that embrace the coastal chic aesthetic. From flowing chiffon skirts that catch the ocean breeze to intricate lace details reminiscent of seashells, these dresses effortlessly capture the essence of Florida's beachside charm. Soft, airy fabrics like organza and tulle, adorned with delicate beading or appliqués, create a romantic and ethereal look that is perfect for a seaside ceremony or an intimate garden wedding.
Modern Glamour: Embracing Contemporary Elegance
For brides seeking a more modern and glamorous style, Florida's wedding dress boutiques offer a range of sleek and sophisticated options. Clean lines, figure-hugging silhouettes, and luxurious fabrics like satin and silk are key features of these designs. From minimalist sheath gowns to stylish mermaid or trumpet silhouettes, these dresses exude confidence and timeless elegance. Accents such as illusion necklines, dramatic back details, or shimmering embellishments add a touch of glamour, ensuring you make a memorable entrance on your special day.
Bohemian Whimsy: Embracing the Free-spirited Vibe

Vintage Romance: Embracing Timeless Beauty
For those desiring a touch of nostalgia and vintage allure, Florida's wedding dress scene presents a treasure trove of options. Classic lace, intricate beadwork, and retro-inspired silhouettes evoke a sense of old-world charm and grace. From tea-length dresses reminiscent of the 1950s to elegant, long-sleeved gowns inspired by the timeless beauty of the 1920s, these dresses allow you to step back in time while still looking utterly chic and sophisticated. Complete your vintage look with delicate accessories, such as a birdcage veil or a vintage-inspired headpiece.
