Oh god I’ve been inactive for so long I’m not dead. I made this Animal Crossing bell bag, and it’s great for holding stones, dice, spare change, or any small trinkets that need a home!

Accidentally posted on my main blog first, but I made this thing! Check it out!

I need ideas for cute animals to crochet, go

#please i'm bored #anything that would be a simple project and looks good in odd colors would be cool #it doesn't have to be animals #thank you

Of course I want to organize ALL of my yarn when it’s nearly midnight and I’m not even living in the place where said organization would be necessary.

#i saw a fabric organization template on this site #and so i reworked it to be suitable for yarn #and now i want to print 10 million pages and spend an entire day organizing my yarn into bins #color coding and charting and making a binder #oh yeah i need a binder #why can't i be moved into my condo yet #i have motivation now damn it #crochet problems #yarn #storage #organization #the struggle is real

I made a pizza pillow! I still need to mess with the pattern but I think the first try turned out pretty well. I made it as a gift for a friend, but I'll probably make them available for sale soon too.

These bags represent my growth as an artist. They are filled with my projects over the past few years - the hats, scarves, arm warmers, pouches, etc. that I’d intended to sell. Now, they’re all being donated.

To me, choosing to clear out almost my entire inventory (save for only a few things) is a way for me to say, “I’ve improved, and I can do better now.” Everything in these bags is of fine quality, and all of it was made with care, but most of it was made in the early stages of my learning - and I’ve learned so much since my first craft show two years ago. I’ve learned my audience, my skills, and my preferences with creating.

This is why I’m starting fresh, choosing a new audience and new venues, and choosing to create whatever I want. If it’s not made to sell, it’s being either gifted or donated. I’m proud of how far I’ve come, and that’s why I’m sharing this with all of you.

#i meant to post this here #but i'm just gonna reblog it instead because i made this blog for crocheting damn it #even though i think like 2 people follow it #crochet #donations #hats #scarves #arm warmers #pouches

I swear, I need at least two of the same size crochet hooks at all times because one is always lost.

#crochet problems

Me, trying to find a particular color of yarn:

*picks up yarn*

*can’t tell if black or dark blue*

*smells yarn*

#and realizes in the next moment #that that is not how you tell the difference #or how you make the lighting in your room better #pretty sure it's black tho

There is nothing more difficult than trying to replicate something you did once without a pattern.

#crochet problems #i'm trying to make yukine's hat a second time #so far it's going well #because this is the easy part where it's just a regular hat and i don't really need to remember anything #but like two rows from now i have to start picking it apart and see what I did #because i have no idea #my style consists primarily of winging it #and only being able to do things one time #i'm pretty sure i added random increase stitched into the body of the hat where necessary too #hopefully the second finished product will not turn out like garbage #especially because this one is not for me

I really need to get one of those mannequin heads. And a real mannequin. Downsides of making clothes and having NOWHERE to put the finished products to take photos....

Even though you can’t really see it here, I’ve been making some progress on my crochet endeavors! I finished the Yukine hat fully (pictures forthcoming) and my mum’s poncho (I might see if I can get a picture of her wearing it, but that’s unlikely...). And as it is, I’m still working on the other stuff and creating various fandom things. I’m trying to get ideas for more, but it’s hard to find the patience and will to do it around work. xD;;

#crochet #wips #sort of #i feel bad for creating this blog and not updating often :P #sorry guys #i don't have that much time #but i really like sharing what I make when I do make things

An in progress picture of my Yukine hat! It's not quite finished - I still need to add the pom poms - but I think the hat itself came out quite nicely! I don't have a pattern, since the entire process consisted of winging it and I just made it up as I went along. :P

#sorry you have to see more of my face than the hat #i'll post a picture of the whole thing when it's done #hopefully without or with less of my face #also this is not my hair i took the pictures with the wig on #yukine #hat #noragami #cosplay #crochet

After about three years of being asked, I’ve finally started making the poncho my mum’s been asking for. It hasn’t been too difficult so far, and this is the first half!

Materials: Size J/10 - 6.00mm hook Aran fleck Red Heart worsted weight yarn

Pattern is here
