    On these Etsy grifters:
    I forgot to mention that if you keep the pdf patterns in your basket for a while (like a day) you sometimes get an extra discount. Also don't believe their '60% off until midnight' schtick -- the sale price is the original price :/

      The original price as sale price thing is so annoying.

      @@recycleonwednesdaysfor real!! 😭😭 Etsy now also has that text that says something like “LOWEST SALES SINCE 60+ DAYS” Yeah, I bet 😒

    Hi Seji, i just had a suggestion. You might want to consider sticking to cotton yarn or cotton blend such as cotton/linen or cotton/bamboo for your summer crochet makes. Not sure how hot it is where you are going but I live in a sub tropical climate and I can only wear sport or fingering weight cotton for most of the year as everything else feels too hot and doesn't breathe well enough for comfort. Can't wait to see those shorts, they look super cute! Happy making and enoy your holidays😊

      Aaah yeah I’m sticking to yarns with those fiber contents and mostly fingering and sport weight yarn :) The climate is close to sub tropical - it’s like 33 degrees atm 😅 Thanks so much for the suggestion!! 🥰✨

    So many things to say!
    1. As someone who is a capital C Crocheter, I absolutely sprinted here when I saw the title! Just 🏃‍♀️💨 😂
    2. In future if you want to make version of the skirt you mentioned with frills at the bottom, Muto Crochet on etsy has that exact skirt pattern. She has a lot of great summery crochet designs, and so does Crochet with Alanna.
    3. I love your hair and your waistcoat!
    4. I have DEFINITELY fallen for the '60% off until midnight' scam and didn't even know it was a scam until this exact minute 😂

      1. Hahah lol, I hope there were some interesting patterns in the video!😂😊
      2. I just checked her out, thanks for the heads up! I couldn’t however find the skirt you were referring to, do you maybe know its name?
      3. Thank you so much!! ☺️ It’s the first time I’ve braided my hair in years, really happy with the outcome :)
      4. Hahah I got scammed with that straight out of the gate, the first time I wanted to give Etsy a go! You should have seen my face the next day when the sale restarted 😶😭😂

      ​@SejiFields I did love all the patterns in the video! Summer and Crochet are the perfect pair. 👌
      For Muto Crochet, the skirt is technically called the 'Ariel Skirt' , but searching that in google doesn't give a clear search result as I think the listing on etsy literally just says 'Crochet Skirt Pattern' LOL. I'd suggest just finding her etsy and scrolling through until you see the pink skirt with the frill at the bottom, she doesn't have too many patterns so that's probably the best way to find it. I wish I could just put a link but TH-cam doesn't like that, it might think i'm a bot and delete my comment.
      Also LMAO about the etsy sale price thing 😂 at least you noticed! I would have happily fallen for that until the end of time unless you mentioned it 😭

    i could so kick myself, but i learned from it at least. I had a huge bag of knitted and crocheted flowers of all kinds that i originally was going to use for multi purposes that as time went on the bag of those flowers i made just sat in the bag and collected dust so i did a terrible crime. I cleaned out my closet one day and tossed out the bag of all those flowers that for a while i felt a spurt of freedom ... to then nothing but dread weeks later. now i see another project in this list i would love to do and that is that scarf full of flowers lol that the bag of flowers i made would have been perfect for! Anyway , great ideas and summer crafting plans!!

      Thanks so much!! 😊 I totally feel you! I’ve been cleaning out my stash for the past couple of weeks and have now started selling the yarn I (think I) don’t want. When I got my first offer on something, I started regretting it a bit 😅😂 I’m okay with it now though, but can definitely relate to that feeling!

    The babushka-headscarf is so cute, I am definitely making that 😍 I have seen a big shawl in the same style but always thought: very cute but very useless to me. Headscarf though...😍! Looking forward to seeing all your finished pieces! Have a nice holiday! 🌞🌞
