By sewing the third layer of leaves so that the leaves stand upward a little, I was able to give the pillow some more shape, and it all fits together much more nicely. There are still gaps between the leaves, which I hope won't make the whole pillow too fragile. But the changed geometry definitely reduced the gaps!

Inner leaves of the succulent pillow - done!
there are two more layers of leaves to sew together, and then add a backing. As I add the layers and it gets more three-dimensional, the work gets more complicated!

Back to the succulent pillow project - time to sew all the pieces together! I'm figuring it out as I go along, as this is my first time sewing crochet, and the pattern I'm using doesn't really have any guidance.

Working on these everlasting "blood of the maccabees" this memorial day. Helichrysum Sanguineum are to Israel what the poppy is to the UK. This year, memorial day hits especially hard. Here's to peace.

Finished!
In reality, this hat is more slouchy than I like, and the body of the hat is much wider than the brim. But A. I'm very happy that I finished it and didn't just leave it in limbo, and B. I really enjoyed learning short row crochet as a technique. The texture and stretchy ribs are so satisfying!

It's a beautiful day (to crochet)

Spicy beanie pattern by @adrianam_crochetdesigns on Instagram - highly recommend her clear, well-documented patterns.

Crochet WIP of a beanie which I'll probably only finish making when it's summer, but that's okay. Using short rows to create ribbing and give it a handmade stretch effect.
