crochet coral

Yarn is a mix of Missoni and Noro. So organic-feeling and fun to work with!

Which creature to feature next? Vote vote vote

I just posted a poll asking crafters far and wide to VOTE on which sea creature they'd like to see next as a pattern. Stop by and tell me what you think!

It's a bebeh!

I am torn between writing a knit octopus pattern (I just have a crochet octopus so far), super-cute amigurumi style baby octopus and squid combo pattern (see above), a crochet seahorse (which I KEEP TYPING as seahore... um), a knit tentacle scarf (see previous post for a taste of that sauce), or a starfish/sea star.

Sea-lady-of-the-night

As always, it will be a blend of anatomically correct/realistic and cute.

There's also a write-in option. What critter are you itchin' to make? Let me know!

Point Mugu

My dear friend Katie and I spent one night on Point Mugu. It wasn't the most RV-less place we've ever camped, but you can't beat the view. Our tent site was gettin' ocean sprayed. There are lovely, mountainous hikes in the area, but beware the mountain lions. We saw some caves that looked a little too cozy.

Next time we might try a different campground off the BBQ strip, but this is a beautiful place. We saw two schools of dolphin and some seals. Katie got some mysterious black substance on her foot (oil spill??) and I got my ass handed to me by a few waves I was attempting to wade in. Good times!
