This is a reminder for those who handmake Christmas presents that now is not too early to start. It may in fact be a good time to start if you have a lot to make/your craft takes a long time. You should maybe start it now, whether that's brainstorming or actually doing the crafts!

Translating this into tumblr's preferred public service announcement format for this kind of alert:

btw I’ve found these stretches from the WAK blog very helpful when knitting a lot:

Plus make sure to take breaks regularly - and stop if anything starts to hurt!

especially with gift knitting I know it can be tempting to push through it for a deadline, but it’s really not worth causing long term injury. (And anyone knit-worthy should be understanding of that, imho.) Stay well :)

Also good for artists drawing with pencils/on a tablet/with a pen!

[not-poignant]

Also good for writers

Movement nudge! More hands!

[fenrir-kin]

With the Namaste movement, because I climb as well, I like to rotate my hands away from my body, so the steepled fingers are pointing outwards, rotate as far as I can until I feel a gentle stretch down the insides of my forearms. Give it a try!

Another mushroom sprite for a friend.

First attempt at color-switching! It was a bit troublesome, but at least the inside isn't visible 😅

I love making these Granny Stitch Bandanas lately! They're super simple once you get the hang of it and are the perfect project to crochet while watching TV.

They look super cute on my wife 🥰🥰🥰

Free pattern on ravelry!

I was not able to finish this in time to submit it for Frost Fatales, but I am still working on adapting this pattern to make Faith, the mascot of Flame Fatales!

Flame Fatales is Games Done Quick's all women & femmes speedrunning community! Frost Fatales 2025 starts this weekend!!

Shoutout to the lovely person in the Frame Fatales Discord helping me adapt the pattern :D

Pattern is Oscar the Saber-Toothed Tiger by Mariska Vos-Bolman.

GAY mushroom sprites for my friend and his husband!! They hold hands with magnets 🥺

Protip: you need REALLY strong magnets for this to work well. Their hands barely hold on :/

Mushroom Sprites 1 & 2 patterns by Crafty Intentions

[themagiccirclecrochet]

RIP to my first mushroom sprite! I harvested his guts because I needed the weighted beads...

I've improved so much since I made this little guy 😊 Thank you for your service, little dude 🫡

Same pattern with different yarn weights!

(Pattern is No-Sew Crochet Cat from Stitch by Fay)

LOVE this eyeball monster I made for my barber-friend's birthday! I wanted to make something creepy-cute and this really fit the bill. It was hard to give it away! Definitely making another of these for myself, but I'd love to figure out a way to make it stand up 🤔

(Pattern from Crochet Monsters by Crafty Intentions)

[themagiccirclecrochet]

Bubbalub and Babylub family made for my niece! She chose the colors :)

I definitely needed a break from blanket yarn after this...
