Yup

I decided to take an online quiz to find out what sort of crochet personality I have, and the results were not really a big surprise:

The Chill Stitcher

You're the cozy vibe we all want in our lives. You treat crochet like meditation—slow, steady, and deeply satisfying. Your favorite projects involve soft yarn, simple repeats, and zero stress. You’re not in a race to finish; your hook moves at the speed of serenity.

Your motto: “It’ll be done when it’s done.”
Signature move: Falling asleep mid-row and picking up exactly where you left off the next day.
Weakness: Gauge swatches. You’ll get to it… eventually.
Strength: Unbothered. Untangled. Unstoppable (in your own time).

I've never fallen asleep while crocheting, and my weakness is more like I skip doing the gauge swatches and just wing it, but the rest is definitely me.

I think the main issue I have is a lack of ambition. I'd rather make something I know well in a pattern I've made several times at a steady pace versus learning new stitches, techniques and patterns as quickly as possible. Then again, crochet is meditative and relaxing for me, so adding all that stress is something I'm not interested in doing. I'm fortunate in that I already know a lot of stitches and patterns, and the techniques I pick up from the tutorials I watch generally work themselves into my crochet.

On the Beach

Last week my guy and I went to walk Daytona Beach, which was mostly (and eerily) deserted. This is what our beaches used to look like when I was a kid. It was a beautiful day, cold and breezy but calm. It feels like 2026 is getting off to the right start.

Eight Plus Numbers

When I was looking up the retail on the small lot of yarn plus a tapestry kit I got a lot of surprises. This Red Heart Roll with It Sparkle skein in "Diamonds" was actually a cake that sells $10.99 on Yarnspirations. The lot included two Red Heart Super Saver Jumbo skeins, which retail for $8.99 each, and stuck in the center of the buff color I found a 5.5 mm crochet hook. This is a skein of 100% Icelandic wool, which can be really expensive. It's marked with a price tag of $7.00, and I found it selling for $8.00 online. The needlepoint kit is the biggest surprise of all. It makes a pillow, and hails from the UK, where it sells for £45.00 ($60.76 US). Since it's flamingos I definitely have to finish it if I can. Altogether my eight plus lot retails for $125.04; I paid $21.30 total for the lot with the buy-it-now option and one penny shipping. I indeed got a very nice bargain.

Not So Cheerful

Since I finished the January crazy-quilted tote for my calendar project I jumped back on making the Iris throw, working this time with Bernat Giggles in Cheerful Blue. From the start this skein seemed determined to give me trouble, not anything cheerful, as I had to contend with a big knot of yarn I tugged out along with the center pull strand (I didn't take a pic of that.) This yarn is 90% acrylic and 10% nylon, and come in a 3.5 oz. skein. Not sure why they added nylon to the acrylic, perhaps to make it softer. The color is nice, and it's fairly smooth, but it also splits easily and wants to pucker, pop and untwist, especially when you tear out stitches. Naturally I had to tear out two and a half rows to correct two mistakes, which aggravated me because the yarn was untwisting when I went to crochet it again. To add icing to this terrible cake, I ran out of the yarn on the final row. To keep the symmetry with the other sections I had to pull a compatible color fro...
