Entrelac

Of course, there is still a small project update.

Besides “Christmas presents that are homemade even though you don’t really celebrate Christmas and don’t need anything anyway…”, there is also an update. I’m refreshing what I’ve learned in the past, thanks to Youtubers at this point, and I’m teaching myself new techniques.

Today I am implementing “Entrelac”. I still have some wool scraps that are normally used to crochet fabric baskets. Now I’m going to make something like “coasters” out of them.

You can see a “in progress” photo below this text.

For all those who are interested, here is a wikipedia link. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrelac
But it’s all about knitting. I decided to crochet. That is, “Tunisian crochet” with Entrelac “techinique” or something <3

Now this is definitely no longer a “daily creative stuff” blog.
So much has happened.
But I don’t want to let this die slowly, so I’m going to start again without much explanation or remorse.

We are moving and not all at once, but bit by bit as we don’t have a car. (Conscious decision)

So the boxes and all the creative stuff arrive only sporadically. What this does for me – it leads to a new look at the things I own and opens up new ideas.

I’m in a strange mood right now. My brain needs to recover from the last few weeks, there was a lot of stress and I’m trying to slow down.

I watch cultural documentaries, learn new handicraft techniques and play this zombie game with friends in between. This way I hope I can also manage official and doctor’s stuff on the side without being immediately overwhelmed. A mix that works quite well for me.

So let’s see where it goes with my “online blogging diary of the creative kind”. Maybe once a week, maybe once a month a blog post? But in any case, I won’t bow to this self-imposed pressure to perform! 😉
