Sharing my 2023 wellness project, please, and wishing a Happy New Year, All! 🧶🎉
Wonky as it be, this stashghan helped me manage some fairly blah times. ❤
The project was inspired by a notoriously uncredited pinterest pic (below left*) which - somehow - led me to recall a long ago dream project (right) and was then encouraged by my precious friend @shesanearthgirl 🦋
I found some crochet charts and tutorials to lead me with making a granny square ripple. Next, I sorted yarn stash color groups to have five shades in each: four colors for a mix of 3-round squares; and a fifth color to use for a fourth jayg (join-as-you-go) round connecting the squares point-to-point.
Each 'diamond' band of squares was edged on either side with a row of white granny stitch ripple followed by a couple random colors from the squares, and then finished with a black row.**
I made a couple color bands and then tested my plan to connect them with a black-edged white diamond. THIS (above right) was my pure happy moment for sure! 😁🧶
Next step was making 3-round granny squares in white and connecting them with a fourth row in black jayg.
The real beauty of this overall project turned out being the ability to lay the color bands and adjust with a visual before committing to the stitched sequence.
Ideally, I would have made six color bands. As it happened with five bands, the throw ended a bit short so I needed to add white diamond bands to either end. It's not awful, but I think it would have been better to cap the ends in the larger color blocks.
The End... and happy forever! 🎉🧶🍻
* if you are able to track the rightful maker of this crochet, please share so I can credit as due
** I realized in hindsight that it was better to make the color bands WITHOUT the final row of black, and rather make that final black row of the color bands in jayg connecting to the black row of the white diamond bands.

So I went out a few days ago to get myself a pair of water shoes (my sensitive footsies can't handle the amount of rocks in the water at this beach) and maybe find myself a non-borrowed backpack for biking. I got the shoes ok then zeroed in on a backpack with the PERFECT color and texture, no big logos, and I started thinking up ideas on the sort of things I could embroider onto the back. It was 45€ and I'd been hoping to find something cheap, but it would probably last me years and years with the high quality material.
I bought it, brought it outside, sat down and went to take the sticker off of—oh.
That... wasn't a sticker. There was an ugly little Adidas logo stuck in the fabric that wasn't coming off.
I went back to the embroidery thoughts and worked out what I would do on the way home.
I embroidered a densely stitched trans flag the size and shape of the offending logo,
cut it out, folded down the edges,
and loosely sewed it onto the backpack.
This to prepare for the more secure glitter gold thread frame. :3
Gonna take my newly transed backback with me to the beach on Wednesday. ✨🏳️⚧️✨
