Massive cat mohair coat is finished! There may be a little bit of embroidery added to her face at a later point but for now she is done!

The pattern is titled "Priscilla" from a book from 1988 called Cat Knits by Melinda Coss. It is full of amazingly daggy cat themed patterns with a goodly amount of mohair and is available to borrow on archive.org.

The entire thing is knitted using intarsia and there were so so many ends. Mohair has permeated my entire house. I am planning to wear it into the city for the knitting guild meeting in May.

I bought the yarn and pattern together as a kit from a lady who was destashing it. She had started it for a 21st project for her daughter in the early nineties and then 30 years later I bought it.

I love this motif. It is the Hexagon Rose from 100 Micro Motifs by Steffi Glaves. I asked my bf Em to pick out a set of 5 colors and these are the ones he picked. I arranged them (and added one more for a nice finishing touch).

Here's the detail for the center dangle. Glass, shell, and amethyst beads with plated alloy findings! Suspended on a steel ring. I gifted it to Em when it was done!

This was my first version of this design. I enjoyed this so much that I want to do lots more!

I donated the bottom one to the local Empty Bowls event that is coming up in a couple of weeks! They're doing a silent auction to support the local food bank.

I offer customs for these! I have an order form in my bio.

Kickstarter for the Amigurumi Makers!

Hi everyone! Sorry for the absence of posts on this blog again 😅 I was laid off mid-Feb and all of my brain space has been reserved for refreshing my skills and job-searching, but hopefully I'll be back to work soon and then I can queue up some more posts here! (It takes me hours... I also need to find a better way to do that...)

ANYWAY

I wanted to make this post about a Kickstarter that I am incredibly excited about!!!

These Safety Eye Snappers that can be used to easily add safety eyes to your amigurumi without all the hand and finger pain!!!

As a chronic pain girlie myself, I started following this product the second I heard about it's existence lol

The kickstarter just went up so I wanted to mention it here for anyone who might be interested!

If you've never used Kickstarter before, please make sure you're informed about how it works! Research to your heart's content to make sure you're comfortable. The gist is that projects are all-or-nothing based on whether they reach their funding goal, so if you back a project that doesn't end up reaching it's goal, you don't receive any rewards you pledged for, but you also aren't charged anything.

As of writing this post, though, this Kickstarter looks to be fully funded!!!!

Note: I am not at all affiliated with this product or the team behind it, they have no idea of my existence, and I get nothing from any pledges anyone makes. I have not tried the product in-person myself at all. They don't know I exist. I'm just a girl who's incredibly excited about the existence of this product. Like I kinda wanted to cry when I found out about this because getting safety eyes on amigurumi is so hard and hurts so much :')

Here's the Kickstarter link again if you're interested, and I hope to get back to posting crochet patterns here soon! Hope you all are doing well! 💕💕💕🧶

Three Little Pigs Story Crochet Pillow for Kids

A story time includes a custom crochet pillow sharing the story of the friendly three little pigs in their houses. Each panel is part of the story, such as the house of bricks, house of sticks and house of straw. This is the Three Little Pigs Crochet Story Pillow. The wolf is depicted as a happy-go-lucky wolf so as not to be frightening to children. The back panel is a solid panel, so the work…

Reblogging this 2017 solar eclipse flashback for folks currently working on temperature projects. Representing the event in my project back then remains a good thing through the years.

Happy 2024 solar eclipse, y'all 😎

🌡 temperature scarf 2017: January - December.

🌫🌩🌧☀️⛅🌎🌬⛈☀️⛅🌨COMPLETE! DONE! FINISHED! THE END!! 🤗

I decided last minute to add a small temp scale at the end… like it was not already ridiculous long! 🙄 And - luck smiling on me - we have an arctic blast hitting us so I am justified to wear this massive thing tomorrow! 😁🌨🌬

so, I've been doing that little tapestry quilting project, and I just cut them down to size (as best as I could)

I wanted to make em reversible, which ended up better than I hoped for

All they need now is a border 😅

Once upon a time, half way through 2021, a young human of my acquaintance suggested that I use my amigurumi skills to make Humphrey, complete with detachable head.

"Oh no, I could not!" said I. "For having made one, surely I would have to go on to make all the rest of those who reside at Button House, and there are, of course, too many for that!"

Oh how we laughed.

... Then the worm in my brain thought about magnets and stuff, and even though we'd got to the end of season 2 with barely five minutes* of on-screen Humphrey to refer to, I had no choice but to make him (add this to ongoing lockdowns that year and eventually we find ourselves where we are now #NoRegrets)

Anyway, all that to say that now, with more references and resources, the worm in my brain once again started talking and told me I could do better for Humphrey, so off I went (if nothing else the poor lad deserved a fluffier coat and a better book background, bless him). Please say hi to Humphrey 2.0!

*this is not a guess, I have scientific proof in the Bone Density Report, poor neglected Humphrey 😞👻🤍
