@CheerBear My eyes are hanging out of my head right now. Cro tatting was where I started as I tried tatting a long time age. Then ended up in the mandala crochet. ๐๐๐๐ Iโm hooked. ๐๐

I admit to big brain confusion when I read you hadnโt heard of mandala crocheting, as you gave me the idea. Double brain fart.
I donโt want to do the tiny fiddly, but the combination of crochet and tatting looks very interesting. Then, so does everything crochet. I bit scared of the hook I must admit. Being told I looked like I was gardening knocked my confidence. Silly things stay inside this brain, if itโs there. ๐๐

Hi @Maggie @CheerBear @outlander @Gazza75 @Shaz51 @saturnzoon and everyone here
I wish I could say something funny to make you laugh @Maggie and feel better about peopleโs gardening comments, like โthey were just diggingโ...but I know what you mean about how those little things can hurt deep and stay so long and affect us. Itโs happened to me too about different things. If it helps, I love gardening, and itโs not a bad thing to look like youโre planting things *hug*. Weโre not women of the past that had to look dainty with their knees together and heads down *another hug*. and you deserve to enjoy yourself and choose what you enjoy, no matter what that โlooksโ like.
Iโve really been enjoying following this thread ๐งต and I love the pics of everyoneโs work!
@CheerBear i think you mentioned yarn bombing? Thereโs a church in Brunswick on Sydney Rd at the top of Blyth street that has poles in front of it (to stop cars driving in to the church through the T-junction). I noticed these have been freshly yarn-bombed and they look beautiful. Iโve been wanting to take photos but havenโt had the chance bc iโm working each time i pass them. anyway, i thought that maybe church members did the work. but another way to find out about a local group would be to contact some local councils and neighbourhood houses. iโm sure they could help point you in the right direction.
I finished my crochet piece and itโs a bit garish and distorted but i kind of like it like that ๐
