I’m still in wintery, textile creating mode (sitting in the cold evenings curled up with thread, hook, instructions, little dogs and homemade lattes). I’ve crocheted some pretty kitschy things in my life and some pretty cool stuff too. I really like these creatures from the sea by Jessica Polka. Her work and patterns can be found at her Wunderkammer shop.
Since I’ve lived in the desert all my life, the ocean and its inhabitants always fascinate me. Check out the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef at the Smithsonian Institute for some serious crochet.



The most interesting thing I’ve seen today! I think these are fabulous!
Thank you so much. I think they are fascinating too. Little non-committal projects prepare me for larger work, which is coming up. When I find jewels like these, I must make them.
