- Hi, y'all! I had three dud projects this week and not as much progress on my WIPs, but that didn't stop me from starting some new ones! Thanks for spending some time with me!

Hi Mary! You seem like a multi tasking crocheter to me. I'm working on a Crystal BOD shawl too! And I bought another shawl pattern from Kristin Omdahl I'm excited about. Both are elongated triangles as I imagined but couldn't perfect. Peace and Blessings to you 🌱🌻🧶
Hooray for BOD shawls! I can never say enough good things about her tutorials! I'll have to look into Kristin Omdahl. Name sounds familiar but I'm always happy to encounter new (to me) shawls! 💞💕
Oh man, it can be so frustrating when every project seems to flop. Well done you for soldiering on and switching things up to bring back your joy and crojo 💕👏
ANOTHER MARY CHRISTMAS SWEATER ❤🎄💚!!! Wooooo!!! My fave kind of Christmas sweater 🥰 I’m not very familiar with plush yarn either, so it’s going to be really cool to see how they mesh and make friends with the worsted. Loving the mix ‘n match of colours and textures already 🙌
Ouuuuu your sidewalk chalk shawlette is gorgeous! Really, really loving that colour mix 😍
And another fab hat on the way. Mary, I know it may be a tad overwhelming for you to have so many WIPs on the go, but as a friend, you are ticking all of my ‘Mary project’ boxes this week 💕😂
Have a wonderful 4th of July ❤💙🤍 Xx
Lee, I wish I could bottle the reaction I have when I see your comments. Such joy would bring peace to the Middle East. You sure know how to brighten my day! Not for the last time, I'm wishing we were closer. You are a precious gem! 💕💎
@@slowcrochet Back ‘atcha 💞
I like the Christmas sweater idea! I am tempted to join you!
Please, by all means, do join me with the sweater! I had thought of having a bit of a crochet-along, but July snuck up on me. 😂 I would love your company, and it would be so fun to see how our sweaters turn out! 😁💗
Happy Independence Day! Always good to hang out with you for a bit! 🤟🏻
Happy Independence Day to you, too, sweet friend! Hope you are making happy memories! ❤️🤍💙
Hi Mary 🤗 I can’t wait to see you ugly yarn Christmas 🎄 sweater! We’ve all been there…starting something and going…no, nope, not for me! I, along with most crocheters, love a BOD beanie pattern! You’ve used beautiful yarn for yours! Always a pleasure hanging out with you! Watch out for those flying amigarumis! 🥰🧶🤩
Litsa, your comment put the biggest grin on my face! Thank you for being so thoughtful and thorough and encouraging! As I'm writing my response, I keep looking up for any soft projectiles 😆💗 Big hugs, my friend! 💗💗
It was cute but reminded me of Little House on the Prairie 😊
Yes!! I agree! Very Laura Ingalls Wilder! 😂❤️
Lets change your perspective on what you called failures this week. Experimentations are the veggies in a meal. They are extremely important to compliment the main course and provide nutrients needed to grow. Likewise, learning various techniques while maybe not useful for what you're working on or wanting to accomplish, are valuable lessons for the future. Enjoy thise "sides" one day you will put them in the right "meal."
That is a beautiful perspective, thank you! Yes, veggies or sides turn a snack into a nourishing meal! I appreciate you sharing such an apt analogy, and I will take it to heart! 💓💗💞
We all have those weeks, don't we ❤ I had a bit of a chuckle when I saw your bald eagle. I first thought it was a whale with a balloon on its back 😅 Life it too short to try and fix things that doesn't bring us joy 😊
That is a great idea for a children's story - why would a whale need a balloon on its back? Maybe it is delivering a birthday greeting to someone on a remote island (no internet service)? Much more interesting than the not-eagle 😂🤣 You're so right. Life is too short to finish blah projects!
I don’t feel so bad with all my WIPs after seeing yours. I try to not have so many on the hook at a time but it seems inevitable that I do. I can see several of yours come to fruition in just a short time. I like your Christmas in July sweater idea. Anxiously await the finished product.🥰
Ahh, I'm so glad my current state of WIPs could encourage you! 😄💞 I do like to have a variety of smaller and larger projects, so that helps keeps me working through them. I'm happy to hear you like my Christmas sweater idea! It's going to be a fun experience for sure! 😄💞
Here in the Northeast, we’d call your Christmas sweater “rag shag” with all those wild and wonderful yarns.
I have never heard that term before, Ms. Betty Lou! How fun! Thank you! 💗💗
Oh I have that book! I love several things in there. I made the peaches and gifted them to co-workers.
Ah, lucky co-workers! That peach pattern is really sweet (pun intended) 😂💗💗
Enjoy time with your family
Thank you so much! 💗💕
I'm so glad I'm not the only one with "flops!" I'm currently frogging TWO different projects directly into a Monet garden inspired giant granny square blanket. I might join you in an ugly Christmas in July sweater CAL! 😍 cheers!
High fives across the Internet! 🤜🤛 Much as I hate to frog, I hate putting in all the effort and disliking the results even more. How fun would that be for you to join me in making an ugly Christmas sweater?! 💞💗
@@slowcrochet (going to my yarn stash) 😄
I have a whole container full of projects to be frogged. Don’t feel badly at all.
There is a definite ebb and flow with crafting or just creating in general.
As for pretty head adornments, may I suggest checking out the channel The Turtle Trunk. She has bandanas and headbands and everything is so cute.
Pick a color that you LOVE to wear and I think it’ll look beautiful on you.
I love your Christmas sweater idea and have been wanting to make one for years and ironically I’ve wanted to use that pattern for years, you’re so smart to combine the two!
I may just have to collect my Christmas inspired yarn and join in! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much for that wisdom and encouragement! On your recommendation, I found the Turtle Trunk - she has such wonderful patterns! Thank you! And how fun that you may be joining me for the Christmas sweater! I had considered doing it as a crochet-along, but June got too busy for me to properly announce it, etc. If you do make one, please send me photos! There's another friend of the channel who mentioned joining me, too! I'm so glad I could inspire you towards a project that you've been pondering for awhile! Great minds! 💗💗
@@slowcrochet no problem!
And yes i absolutely want to join in making the sweater!
A crochet along would be a lot of fun but don’t put pressure on yourself with it ❤️
