Happy Valentine's Day from Bear Hart!

How to tell if your tapestry crochet friends are doing okay:

1-5 bobbins: doing fine, having fun

6-10 bobbins: feeling dangerous, keep an eye on them

11-15 bobbins: not doing good, bring them tea

16-20 bobbins: suggest therapy as an alternative

21+ bobbins: this is the equivalent of alcoholism. Sign them up for a support group

#currently doing a blanket with technically more than 26 bobbins #but i ran out of bobbins so some are doubled up #some are just the balls #and some is loose yarn #crochet

After a number of experiments in stitching, appliqué, hair, fuzz, hook sizes, yarn sizes, yarns in general, I would like to present Fluffy Phantasmo (to give @pepperstreak some new content)

#elp #El Phantasmo #god i hope he doesn’t look stupid #i know he kinda does but goddamn this boy has weird hair to crochet

Balloon doggy but make him yarn (eternal)

#coolest thing ive made with mostly sc since Elton #also I know this blog is mostly dead #and it'll probably stay that way cause it's whatever my man #but I might post some projects i make #or i might give the whole blog an overhaul i don't know #crochet #not a pattern

I thought I peaked last January when I spent 100+ hours making a blanket of David Bowie. I was a fool, a coward at what I could do.

The current limit of my abilities is a life-sized, proportionally accurate doll of Elton John.

I measured a friend with the same body type and crocheted according to those specifications.

Details include:

Bell bottoms

Buttons

Lapels

Feathered shoulder pads

Shoulder cords

Bedazzled original design hat

Bedazzled sunglasses (done by gluing over 200 sequins) that include cutouts of eyes

Based on this photo:

(pardon my basement but I live with three other teens/preteens)

Consider yourself crocheted

Elton has most of a body done. Calves will be covered by bell bottoms and many more details will be added once I have the main body done. Next is the head. Wish me luck!

In honor of Taron's Golden Globe, I think it's time I share my next major project.

A life-sized, nearly exactly accurate crocheted replica of Elton John.

Things may look skewed now, but when the stuffing and details are added, the legs will be almost exactly the same size as Elton's in every way (I got a friend with the same body type and height to be measured). Just hoping everything gets done for my March 1st deadline.

Thinking of opening an online shop to sell my little birds in (I keep making them and as much as I love them, there's getting to be too many).

This one is named Larry

My finished boi Jim

It’s been nearly two months since I started on him, but my boi Jim is complete.

My boy Jimmy, live from the high school art room. (127 rows done, 63 left to go)

#crochet #yarn #not a pattern #jim morrison

100 rows into blanket #2, and I’m regretting not splurging on the high-quality yellow yarn.

A tiny little fanart piece for @biggest-gaudiest-patronuses

I had a scrap of pink yarn leftover from my newest project and it reminded me of Gaud.

De-Stress Kitty

This kitty was made when I was just feeling kind of glum and blah and like I wanted an actual cat to spend some time with (can’t get one because I’m deathly allergic and all that jazz). I named mine Mrs. Bigglesworth. The right ear has a bow, which is explained in the pattern, but the left ear has a fake flower that was given to me at my first semi-professional art show that I thought would be an added bonus.

Difficulty: Beginner

Yarn: Neutral colour (I used black), Exciting colour (I used a variegated pink-white-purple), gray

Hook Size: 3.5mm

Crochet Stitches Used: chain, single crochet, half double crochet, slip stitch

Extra supplies: Two safety eyes (I recommend ones that aren’t black, or have colours on the outer edges), plastic bag, small amount of rice or small beans (approx. 2g)

Thinking of making another blanket like the Bowie Blanket.

Anyone have a classic rock icon they’d like to see in blanket form?

John Beelushi

In honour of the late, great John Belushi, I made a small doll of him in the classic SNL Bee suit. The eyebrow is what really sets this doll apart from all other bee dolls. Springs can be used for the antennae to make them more similar to the source material, but yarn keeps him cuddly.

Difficulty: Beginner

Yarn: Yellow, Black, Skin, Brown

Hook Size: 3.5mm

Crochet Stitches Used: chain, single crochet, slip stitch
