#kittycouches

[buttercupyarnart]

I have (metaphorically) run face-first into a brick wall of my own creation. I have #ADHD, which basically means that my brain requires external stimulation to function normally. And it turns out that my brain has decided that solid yarn isn't stimulating enough to look at, regardless of what I'm doing with it. Which is really unhelpful, since I planned to make the next two #KittyCouches with solid yarn from my stash. I'm hoping that having really good stuff to listen to while I work (like @ordergooddeath's latest video, which you can see on my screen in the background) will help my brain Deal With It. I have SO MUCH solid yarn in my stash that needs to get used up, and multiple projects planned with solid yarn, and I really hope that my brain gets over this aversion to solid yarn soon. . . . . . . #yarn #yarnart #fiberart #fibreart #diy #crafting #blueyarn #crochet #crochetcatbed #catbed #mentalhealth #buttercupyarnart #wip #workinprogress #quarantinecrochet #quarantinecrafting #quarantinecraft #socialisolationcrochet https://www.instagram.com/p/CDEdTBpBp4U/?igshid=1e9obhqdsn80j

The base of the second of the #KittyCouches - the Blue Couch pattern - is complete! It's basically a crocheted mattress at this point, and it just would not photograph well! I couldn't use my nice light or the top and side wouldn't both be lit, but the light without it destroys the color grading! (Full disclosure, I had to shunt the "warmth" setting all the way down in Instagram's photo editor to get the color true to life.) But! I got a semi-decent picture and I'm hoping that adding the back and arms and ruffle will make it easier to photograph this blue monstrosity. I doubt it, but I hope. . . . Also, for those wondering, my brain has calmed down from "solid yarn is the worst thing ever" to "solid yarn is boring", so hopefully by the time I get to the third and final Kitty Couch, it'll get back to "solid yarn is neutral". 🤞 . . . #yarn #yarnart #blueyarn #fiberart #fibreart #crochet #crafting #diy #catbed #crochetcatbed #quarantinecrochet #quarantinecrafting #quarantinecraft #socialisolationcrochet #buttercupyarnart #wip #workinprogress #gettingthere https://www.instagram.com/p/CDOkewBBbPY/?igshid=1jt9duq53kefg

I started the first of the #KittyCouches yesterday, and I've already finished the first piece! I always forget just how lightning fast #crochet is for me, and then I do something like this and remember why I only crocheted for a few years! I'm starting with the Pink Bed pattern, which I intend to have on the end of my desk so my kitties can lounge next to me while I work. I didn't consider that it would dominate my desk so absolutely! Ah well, they'll love it, I hope! . . . . . . #yarn #yarnart #fiberart #fibreart #buttercupyarnart #catbed #quarantinecrafting #quarantinecraft #quarantinecrochet #socialisolationcrochet #redyarn #selfstripingyarn #variegatedyarn https://www.instagram.com/p/CCmyRIABSCr/?igshid=1bgs3nha0qzi1

The back is attached! Woohoo! Just the arms and the #KittyCouches Blue Couch is complete! I made the ruffle, but I'm not attaching it because it's way too long and figuring out how to fudge it so it fits is not worth the minimal aesthetic payoff. . . . . . . #catbed #crochetcatbed #crochet #yarn #yarnart #fiberart #fibreart #buttercupyarnart #crafting #diy #blueyarn #blue #quarantinecrochet #quarantinecrafting #quarantinecraft #socialisolationcrochet https://www.instagram.com/p/CDmt9fthynM/?igshid=1ki9xdaiic29i

It's 100% #finished!!! The headboard isn't perfect, but it took so long and was so fiddly to attach that I refuse to take it off! The #KittyCouches Pink Bed now dominates my desk, and gives my kitties a place to hang out with me that isn't my laptop! . . . . . . #finishedobject #crochet #catbed #crochetcatbed #yarn #yarnart #fiberart #buttercupyarnart #fibreart #pinkyarn #redyarn #selfstripingyarn #variegatedyarn #multicoloryarn https://www.instagram.com/p/CC1bx4NhgLF/?igshid=9109v0p4i59

My beloved kitty moved long enough for me to get a good picture! The base of the #KittyCouches Pink Bed pattern is complete and assembled, #ruffle and all! My kitties love it already - the catnip spray I used might have something to do with that! On to the headboard, and with luck, I'll be able to finish it this weekend! . . . . . . #crochet #crochetcatbed #yarn #yarnart #fiberart #fibreart #workinprogress #buttercupyarnart #crafting #diy #quarantinecrochet #quarantinecrafting #quarantinecraft #socialisolationcrochet #pinkyarn #redyarn #selfstripingyarn #variegatedyarn https://www.instagram.com/p/CCwO2E7h7vJ/?igshid=1exkxqsdfqkbt
