YAY MY ZOOM LOOM CAME THIS WEEK! This is a small weaving loom you can use to make squares. Of course I tried it out immediately! I finished the first square and started a second:
I also designed several knitting & crochet patterns. See, my crafting competition is celebrating its 10 year anniversary (!!!) and has asked all the teams to design squares to celebrate. I'm captain of my team and also a designer, so I threw together some designs for my team to discuss.
I then got really excited about one of those designs and started crocheting it. I'm about 3/4 done, and would finish tonight except my wrist says NO. So I am faffing about on the internet instead.
I decided NOT to push myself to finish the blanket in time for the graduation party. I'll just make sure to finish it before he leaves for college. Instead, I'm making fingerless gloves so he has something to open at the party. He could use the gloves too, he'll be going to school in Wisconsin.
I'm intrigued by the drawesome community that minoanmiss linked above. I love the idea of drawing, I just... don't do any. But maybe I will start. I've subscribed to the community (but didn't join it, as they asked only artists participating join) in hopes it will inspire me to start doodling.
...though it occurs to me I *did* draw this week, it was just digital drawing! My knitting/crochet patterns were all pictures. It was really simple designs, but hey, I drew.
Also, folks are starting to post fills to genprompt_bingo which has me idly contemplating my bingo card again. Hmm.
