@CheerBear My eyes are hanging out of my head right now. Cro tatting was where I started as I tried tatting a long time age. Then ended up in the mandala crochet. 😍😍😍😍 I’m hooked. 😁😁

I admit to big brain confusion when I read you hadn’t heard of mandala crocheting, as you gave me the idea. Double brain fart.
I don’t want to do the tiny fiddly, but the combination of crochet and tatting looks very interesting. Then, so does everything crochet. I bit scared of the hook I must admit. Being told I looked like I was gardening knocked my confidence. Silly things stay inside this brain, if it’s there. 😔😔

Hi @Maggie @CheerBear @outlander @Gazza75 @Shaz51 @saturnzoon and everyone here
I wish I could say something funny to make you laugh @Maggie and feel better about people’s gardening comments, like ‘they were just digging’...but I know what you mean about how those little things can hurt deep and stay so long and affect us. It’s happened to me too about different things. If it helps, I love gardening, and it’s not a bad thing to look like you’re planting things *hug*. We’re not women of the past that had to look dainty with their knees together and heads down *another hug*. and you deserve to enjoy yourself and choose what you enjoy, no matter what that ‘looks’ like.
I’ve really been enjoying following this thread 🧵 and I love the pics of everyone’s work!
@CheerBear i think you mentioned yarn bombing? There’s a church in Brunswick on Sydney Rd at the top of Blyth street that has poles in front of it (to stop cars driving in to the church through the T-junction). I noticed these have been freshly yarn-bombed and they look beautiful. I’ve been wanting to take photos but haven’t had the chance bc i’m working each time i pass them. anyway, i thought that maybe church members did the work. but another way to find out about a local group would be to contact some local councils and neighbourhood houses. i’m sure they could help point you in the right direction.
I finished my crochet piece and it’s a bit garish and distorted but i kind of like it like that 😄
