I made a Victorian lace tank top for my niece! For some reason, the lace is called Acorn Lace (circa 1896) and looks nothing like an acorn (much like the Victorian lotus stitch looks nothing like a lotus). #crochet Anyway here's the pattern link: crochetingclassics.etsy.com/listing/1863...

Finally got this one done! It's a Victorian Lotus Stitch Shawl. I had to make some adjustments when I translated the pattern. For the life of me, I'll never understand the Victorian obsession with unnecessary fastening on and off. Fixed pattern's on Etsy: crochetingclassics.etsy.com

I don't know who needs to hear this today, but my two little terrified-of-storms dogs know we're all safer when we work together, love together, and fight together. Don't obey or surrender in advance. #resistance. #loveoneanother

It's so satisfying when you're almost done with a skein and it gets all floppy! #yarn #crochet #satisfying

We live by a church, and people seem to think it's fine to dump their pets there, especially after Christmas. Which is why we have a feral cat colony running amok in our yard. Just a reminder, people. Pets are commitments, not presents. Anyway, here's a rare picture of Little Pretty. #cats

I'm trying to make a shawl. Fanny's demanding a nap. Guess who won.

This is Millington, my little mushroom gentleman. He has a bowtie because Dr. Who says bowties are cool. He's just here to look dapper and vibe, because we all need a little sunshine now. #goodthoughts #mushroom

Fanny is at the poodle parlor and Daisy is enjoying being an only child. And when Fanny gets home, she'll pretend not to recognize her for the next three days. #chihuahuas #strangelittledogs #doglife #funny

This is only a few minutes after I finished vacuuming... Clearly Daisy felt the need to redecorate.

I have to wonder why Daisy thinks her lamb will protect her chewy stick....
