Something about this slanted cluster is so calming. It's one of my favorite blocks in the Sunshine Sampler blanket so far.

It's a simple two row repeat. One row of sc, one row of slanted clusters. To work the cluster, start with one dc. Then working around the post, yarn over and pick up a loop three times. With 7 loops on the hook, pull through 6, then pull through the last 2. Skip one stitch between each cluster.

Hope you're finding time for slow moments this week ๐Ÿ’›

The lessons just keep coming.

I couldn't stop making dish towels What I bought, I couldn't stop making dish towels

What I bought, what I recorded, and what I actually made are three very different things. I recorded so little because honestly I just wanted to get back to crocheting. The noise of social media and the pressure to always make something newer and better gets heavy.

So I let my hobby be for me for a little while. That's what this wave of life needed.
