Helping Chili Pepper

Hello everyone! A friend of mine found out yesterday that her sweet senior kitty, Chili Pepper, has a mass in his chest. He had been coughing for a couple days, and X-rays at the vet revealed a mediastinal mass, as well as indications of feline asthma and pneumonia. She is pursuing treatment with a specialist, which unfortunately does cost a good bit of money. If you are in a position to donate, even a little bit, it would be much appreciated! If you could share this post, that would also be a big help. Thank you for your time!

When you learn how to crochet/ knit or really any type of fiber arts, there will be a voice in your head that tells you that you should make something for everyone for the holidays.

Do not listen to that voice, for it is the devil.

at this time of year you might be tempted to create new rules for yourself, if you do, make sure that they are designed to serve you, not to punish yourself for imperfection.

I managed to finish 4 paw print scarves, 2 pink and 2 green, for my coworkers at the vet clinic before Christmas! 🐾

I’ll post some more crochet projects soon, but in the meantime, here are some products of two other recently-picked-up hobbies: a small, quick gouache painting of my dog and a few magnets I made for my fridge using polymer clay.

And finally, more crochet! After I finished the rocky horror lips, I felt this vague urge to clear out patterns I'd acquired and never made, and when I looked at my ravelry stash, obviously shuttle the shongololo was the first thing to catch my eye. Yes, it was a free pattern, not money I'd spent going to waste, but come on. IRRESISTIBLE.

I did do some modifications on the fly, because it's written for dk yarn (and a lot of it), and i have very little dk, but SO much worsted, including the variegated stripe yarn I was absolutely determined to use for the body. I think I multiplied recommended hook size by 1.5 all over and just went for it! Checking the gauge? In THIS economy?? But it was a huge success, even though I VASTLY underestimated how much material it would take and despite intending to use up my stash, I had to re-up on supplies multiple times (between yarn, stuffing, and breaking my hook, it was like. seven trips). I must inform you that there's so much material in this thing that when I tossed it onto this bed, it rolled off the other side and sounded like a body hitting the floor. It's huge, and it's HEAVY.

But the results are undeniable! Holding two stands of multicolor yarn with the same gradient pattern and just making sure they never sync was SO cool. And the underbelly is a velvet yarn that's sooooo so soft, I love it so much. However, 132 legs. That was... unfortunate. But I'm a creature of fleeting memory! And when I recovered a little, I started thinking about the short pillbug version of the millipede, and I started thinking about my yarn leftovers, and, well, here we are. I used one strand of a different gradient yarn to mix it up a little, and also, to avoid even more shopping trips, but oh man. OH MAN. This pattern is something I probably won't do again, but it is very, VERY fantastic
