Sweet Dreams Emotional Support Snails to make with a Lucet

Days 44 to Day 59 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms-

It has taken me ages to get it done, but I have finally uploaded a pdf pattern with step by step instructions and photos on how to use a Lucet to make ‘Sweet Dreams/Emotional Support/Comfort Snails.

(The Pattern for them is available at: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4492525912/pdf-pattern-for-lucet-cord-sweet-dreams)

Snails? Yes!

Adorable, cuddly little Snails!

For weeks, I dreamt about these charming little ‘Emotional Support’, ‘Comfort’ Snails and they really did make Sweet Dreams!

They showed up in liminal dappled and speckled spaces.

They offered me comfort and guidance and spoke of the shadows that flicker in the places that are growing-when the breezes flit through the sunshine, whispering of greening new hope, love and light.

They delight me- I hope that they will offer you sweet dreams, and emotional support and comfort, too!

Throughout the amazing Artemis 2 Moon Mission, I worked away with my Lucet, experimenting to find ways of refining these snuggly Snails.

In one of the dreams that I had about these little Lucet Snails, they said that the Artemis Astronauts took us to the moon and back and showed us that we are all really made of stardust and love….

So the Sweet Dreams/Emotional Support /Comfort Snails have both hearts and stars on them so we will remember that lovely thought!

They also have Lucky Pennies inside them so they will always carry good luck and best wishes with them.

There is a link in the pattern for a how to video that has step by step instructions on how to make an upcycled chopstick Lucet.

Days 36- 39 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms- Lots Going on- just not posting

This photo looks chaotic, right? Well that’s because it is an almost accurate picture of some of the ‘lots going on’ in my life right now.

I’m still doing the 100 day project, but I have to adapt and adjust to HOW I do it.

So, while I am dealing with all kinds of things, I don’t have the energy to make videos or complete the pattern for several projects that I am excited about.

C’est la vie and Que sera sera….. so I will continue to design and when I have more ‘spoons’ (energy) available, I will catch up with myself and get those videos and patterns done.

And, until then, it’s slowly, gently, slowly…. but sending big hugs all round ❤

Until then, please go to my Etsy shop to buy pdf patterns for fun spool knitted projects:
