Meet Vera. I just love her. She took 6 skeins and is 18 inches tall and 64 inches around. I had to order the eyes for her cause mine were all too small. She’s not perfect but that’s the way I like her. ❤️ #cozycrochet #crochet #crochetwithme #parttimehooker #yarnchicken

I played yarn chicken twice with the same project and lost both times. The first time I frogged half and made it smaller. Now I’m just gonna frog the whole thing. It was only a practice piece and it would have just been a rag if I finished it. On the plus side, I taught myself C2C this weekend. I

Do Yarn Types Really Matter in Crochet?

Not all yarn is the same. (Which is why I love it so much!) Acrylic, cotton, wool blends and bamboo all behave differently when you crochet and how you care for your crochet afterwards. There’s no “best” yarn — just the right yarn for the project. 💬 Which yarn do you like working with most?

Yarn Chicken Once Again

When I started this project I was so worried I’d be running out of the yellow and I patterned so I would use less yellow but I’m on the final sleeve and I still have a whole unused skein of yellow and a ton of the one I’m using left but my red is dwindling hard and I don’t think I’ll have enough 🙃🥲

An image titled 'Yarn in Hoodoo' shows two balls of yarn (red and natural), a lit candle, a smoking pipe with smoke, dried herbs, scissors, and a jar, set against a dark, textured background.

The image lists 'Traditional Uses of Yarn in Hoodoo' over a background featuring yarn, a lit candle, and spiritual tools. Uses include binding intentions, strengthening prayers, symbolizing connection, knot work for rituals, and tying spiritual work to physical action.

Titled 'What Yarn is NOT Used For', this image shows a crossed-out doll alongside yarn and spiritual items. It lists misuses like casting spells for fun, controlling others, shortcuts, ignoring context, replacing effort, or giving power to the yarn itself.

Tied Up Thursday - Yarn in Hoodoo 🧶

In Hoodoo, everyday objects were often used in spiritual work because that’s what people had access to. Yarn, thread, and cord became symbolic tools tied to intention, connection, and binding. Yarn represents continuity, linkage, and control over direction. A single strand may look simple, but w
