@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. ππππ Iβm hooked. ππ

I admit to big brain confusion when I read you hadnβt heard of mandala crocheting, as you gave me the idea. Double brain fart.
I donβt 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 itβs there. ππ

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 peopleβs gardening comments, like βthey were just diggingβ...but I know what you mean about how those little things can hurt deep and stay so long and affect us. Itβs happened to me too about different things. If it helps, I love gardening, and itβs not a bad thing to look like youβre planting things *hug*. Weβre 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 βlooksβ like.
Iβve really been enjoying following this thread 𧡠and I love the pics of everyoneβs work!
@CheerBear i think you mentioned yarn bombing? Thereβs 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. Iβve been wanting to take photos but havenβt had the chance bc iβm 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. iβm sure they could help point you in the right direction.
I finished my crochet piece and itβs a bit garish and distorted but i kind of like it like that π
