Meira Creations

Hey, I'm Meira and I like to make stuff. Take a look, let me know what you think, I'm always open to feedback.

I’ve spent the last 4 hours watching @therealjacksepticeye, Pewdiepie, Markiplier, Emma and PJ raise $100k for the RED charity to combat and eradicate HIV/AIDS, which YouTube then matched dollar for dollar. Well done guys! If you read this please please please consider watching their second livestream tomorrow (6pm GMT?) as the Gates Foundation is donating $10 for every $1 raised, up to a million, so please donate.

P.s. thanks for reading out my name on the stream, I was having a rubbish day and that, along with the stream in general, made it so much better.

My Mini Marvel family has grown again! My friend wanted a Deadpool similar to Thor, Loki etc, so I went to work and adapted this free pattern again. I'm pretty chuffed with him.

Out of interest, I put him alongside the Deadpool I made a while ago from a paid pattern. I like the older one, but I much prefer my version.

[meira-creations]

I made a sheep for my friend's 18 month old daughter.

Pattern is here

Presenting the 4B: Big, Badass, Bisexual Blanket. 6 months in the making and glorious (if I do say so myself).

As a side note: do you know how hard it is to photograph something that is 8ft²? I couldn’t get the whole thing in no matter how hard I tried.

[knicromaniac]

IT’S GORGEOUS! Good job, lovely!

[sweetpea2094-deactivated2018051]

Gorgeous. @memirs-creations could you put up a link for the pattern Plz, & thank you.

[meira-creations]

Sure! The square is Victorian Lattice Square by Destany Wymore and I used this tutorial for the flat braid join

[meira-creations]

I decided to take a break from crochet after my blanket and go back to my roots with a cross stitch. I intend to record my progress with daily photos. Day 1-4: can you see what it is yet?

[meira-creations]

eeeeeeeeeeep, I immediately recognized that pattern - I made a blanket using the same one!!! Somehow this just made my day!

It's a beautiful square. I'd bookmarked it a long time ago and then rediscovered it while I was searching for the perfect square. Simple, yet pretty. I'm glad I brightened your day. The reaction to it has certainly brightened mine. I think it's possibly my most or second most popular post EVER. Have a wonderful day! xXx

[boardwalk-absurdist]

so i started watching buffy (20 years late i know) and i am enjoying it but also i find myself weirdly attracted to giles

[meira-creations]

Giles is the best. I love Anthony Stewart Head in everything ever but it all stems back to Giles.

[meira-creations]

This is what maybe 150 hours of my life looks like. 100 squares blocked and ready for joining. That, by the way, is my double bed, completely covered in overlapping squares so my Bisexual Blanket is gonna be big.

(Please excuse the messy background and hay everywhere)

Yo!

Where all the gay knitters at? Every time I go on any social media platform for fiber arts related things, I only see young moms, or older people (which is cool don’t get me wrong) but I want to know if any of you are out there, like are there any trans knitters? Gay/lesbian/bi/pan knitters? What about ace/aro? I want to follow all of you!

I feel like I’m the only gay who knits,,,,

[foultastemakerwhispers]

I knit but I don’t blog about it but I’m a lesbian=)

[redadhdventures]

I promise you, you’re not the only gay who knits. The knitting community is huge and it keeps growing. Anyone can knit, and knitters come in all forms. I’m bi and I knit, but that hardly makes me special. I’m just one in a sea of people that make string pretty.

[knicromaniac]

☝ Well said! Me, as well.

[meira-creations]

I'm bi and I crochet...do I count?

[lpanne]

as i’ve seen people trying to sell this pattern i felt like it was important to put it up for free, and not link back to them. if the pattern isn’t clear enough for you message me and i can re-do it.

I'm going to a vigil tomorrow for the victims of the shooting at Pulse in Orlando. I wanted to take something rainbow with me, so I'm making a pair of gloves. Being a member of the LGBT+ community, albeit a British one, what happened deeply shocked and upset me, especially as some people, particularly in the media and certain politicians, are trying to deny the blatant homophobia and turn it into an attack by Islamic extremists. More so, my cousin, her wife and their son were meant to be in Orlando that weekend but left early when The Kid fell ill, so while I mourn for my brothers and sisters I am also thankful for that. I'm also extremely touched by the people who have responded to this tragedy in positive ways and I say thank you. To the people who waited in line for hours to donate blood, especially the Muslim community during Ramadan, and to those who have donated money. To the world leaders who sent messages of support. To the Tony Awards for starting the silver ribbon, to James Corden for telling us that hate will not win, to Lin-Manuel Miranda for telling us that love is love is love and the entire cast of Hamilton for removing guns from their performance that night. To every celebrity, leader and everyday person who has done anything to support the victims and boost this community, I thank you for showing that we are not unimportant and that hate is not going to be accepted.

Calling All Crafters

Here’s the deal.

If you knit, crochet, draw, sew, quilt, weave, spin, embroider or do any kind of handmade crafting, and you have a blog, instagram, website, Etsy, ravelry or something like that please reblog this with links, or comment, or message, anything. I would love to know some more of you makers and shakers out there.

NOTE: I am not looking for crafting “inspiration” blogs. I am interested in actual creators. People who are making their own stuff. 

My end goal with this is to have a master list of crafty people.

[knicromaniac]

I knit and crochet, post photos of said crafts, and reblog a lot of patterns. I’m on instagram and Ravelry under the same name! 😊 This is a GREAT idea! 👍👍

[meira-creations]

I crochet and occasionally cross stitch or make cards as well as learning to spin. My ravelry is under meirasanya but is pretty empty.

Victorian Lattice Square pattern by Destany Wymore

Free crochet pattern! :)

[meira-creations]

I'm currently making a blanket out of this and couldn't recommend it more. It's so simple but so beautiful

[sarcastic-little-grizzly]

UNRAVEL

[meira-creations]

I have been playing this and it is such a good, usually calming game. I've only come across one bit that requires any sort of timing or reflexes. Plus yarn is always good. I highly recommend it.

[meira-creations]

Gift swap part 2.

I’m sure you recognise the pattern by now. It’s just so fun to adapt. I designed the bow, arrows and quiver, as well as styling the hair.

[redadhdventures]

IT’S A LITTLE CUDDLY LEGOLAS. IT IS CUTE AND I CANNOT HANDLE THE CUTE. *DIES DRAMATICALLY FROM CUTENESS OVERLOAD*

[tntwme]

Omg can I have the pattern?!?❤️❤️❤️

[meira-creations]

Of course! It’s based on http://overthebifrost.tumblr.com/thorpattern. If you want the little extras I designed feel free to drop me a line and I’ll try to remember how I did them

[tntwme]

Thank you so much!

[dragoncrochet]

Haha, even more people adapting the Pocket Loki pattern!! I’m not the only one!

[meira-creations]

Check out my Daredevil too :) and I have a few more planned
