Rubik’s Blanket!

I’m excited to share this one! I’ve been working on this for months as a custom order, and I was thrilled when I was finally done with it!

It’s meant to look like a 3D Rubik’s Cube, and I think I did the job well! It’s a queen size – my biggest blanket yet – so I have plenty of pictures of it. Including works-in-progress:

And it was a mess to tie in all the loose ends; there were so many color changes!

Overall, I was pretty pleased with the result. And it’s so soft! This was one order I was proud to deliver.

Happy Friday, Everyone!

Mermaid

I actually made this one ages ago – back when I was doing Simbi. It was made as an order that never responded, so I gave it to my niece. I only recently was able to get a good picture of it when I visited.

 

Doesn’t she look so chill?

Happy Friday, Everyone!

Black Panther

Black Panther is officially out of theaters, so I guess I waited too long to post this for it to be too relevant, but better late than never!

 

 

Alas, this is another one of those times where the lighting has gone astray. I guess it’s time to re-dedicate myself to taking proper pictures and not be so hasty to send the works out. It actually looks the most decent in my “clutter photo” of him. (The photos I take quickly to send to family and friends, but don’t usually post on the blog because my house is in the background):

Happy Friday, Everyone!

A Couple of Smalls

Here are a few small projects I’ve finished recently:

 

My Brother-in-Law is close to finishing his second book, and the cover has been revealed (above) so I made him a bookmark to match!

Although, honestly, I never really got the point of crocheted bookmarks. They’re pretty thick, so your book won’t close flat. So I guess I don’t really expect him to use it, haha.

 

Tails from the Sonic series. I wish I’d gotten a better picture of this one (the lighting is bad and his face looks squished in it) but I was in a rush to send it.

And this scarf! Which I actually made ages ago, but forgot to share. I guess I make a lot of little things like this without getting them to the website.

Happy Saturday, Everyone!

Pikmin!

When my husband and I first moved in with each other, I made him a treasure trail leading him around the house. It featured a pikmin I sewed him myself, because the prize at the end was Pikmin 2, since we both loved the original Pikmin.

Of course, it was horrendous. I’ve proven to myself time and time again that sewing is not my thing. But my husband refused to allow me to get rid of it because of sentimental value, and it has been a permanent addition to our home.

Fast forward a few years later, and I tried to convince him to replace it wiiiiith:

 So was it a success?

…No.

No it wasn’t.

Now we have two Pikmin.

Happy Friday, Everyone!

Octopus Hat!

I’m particularly proud of this one.

But it took me so long to make! I decided I wanted to start selling my patterns, because almost everything I make was made by my own imagination. What I didn’t expect, however, is that writing down the pattern as you go makes a project take forever! There’s sort of a groove you get into when you crochet, and patterning ruins that.

But I finished it, and I’m super happy I did it! I am one step closer to making a sustainable income doing what I love. I’ll start releasing them when I have more made, so expect to see patterns sometime in the etsy shop!

Happy Friday, Everyone!

Deadpool

Someone at work wanted a Deadpool! So here’s a Deadpool.


I regret not getting more plentiful and more quality pictures of this one, but I was rushed for time on that day.

At least my cat liked it!

Finky seal of approval. (Mostly because she’s nosy.)

Happy Friday, Everyone!

Clingy Sloth!

This order came from a picture (that I don’t want to share due to possible copyrights, but it looks pretty similar to the one I’m about to show you, anyway.)


This is my first effort using a different type of yarn. It’s a higher quality and a little more expensive, but I think it made the little guy look nice.

Plus, there’s wire in his arms, so they’re pose-able!

 

After I shared some photos on my facebook page, this sloth quickly became my most ordered of items. And who can blame him? He’s so cute! Of everything I’ve made, I think this little guy is the one I’d most want for myself.

Happy Friday, Everyone!
