crochet and other crafts
Last year’s Black Friday, I had a good haul of this Heartland yarn by Lion Brand. This has been my on-the-go project because it’s just a big ol’ granny square!
I just made a granny square as wide as my arm span. Then slip stitched together the side into itself to form the sleeve. A single crochet edge around the openings. And there you have it!
Really, that’s it.
The top part is folded over to make it look like a collar.
Warm and comfy. But in this Hawaii summer, this sweater will have to wait.
Introducing “Finished Object” or “FO” Friday! Now I share recent projects I have completed! So here’s a quick one to start.
I’m always finding my cords all tangled up, so I made a solution!
A quick little thing to strap around cords!
A rectangle/strip with a buttonhole, add a button, and done! I didn’t use any particular pattern, I just made some half double crochet rows and single crochet around.
Want one? Order here.
Happy National Watermelon Day!!
Just writing to announce new colors! Different colors can give your Cthulhu a different personality!
Order yours here.
Get a head start on Halloween!
I’m starting to stock up on these hats. Because last year, I was crocheting at maximum capacity to keep up with demand!
The most popular item during Halloween season last year were these Edith hats. It was getting made in all sizes!
Avoid the rush and order Edith hat (or any other hat) here any time of the year!
They are done! So cute and cuddly!
These pictured have been claimed by my daughter, so they are being debuted into my shop as made to order. Order yours here.
Now to figure out which one to make next!
Introducing “Work-In-Progress” or “WIP” Wednesdays! Every Wednesday, I’ll try to share whatever it is I’m working on that week. Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram for random WIP’s as well!
With the recent release of a new app called Pokemon Go!, I finally had an excuse to make these chubby cuties. This pattern is easy to follow and quick to make!
They still need some features, but Luna’s already claimed them for her own.
I’m gonna lose track soon on what part of “Adventures in Lalylala-Land” I’m currently at, thus the title. Anyways Mici is finally here! I feel it’s been a while since my last Lalylala creation.
This one used some metallic thread, which gives it a great effect!
The main reason for this guy’s photo shoot delay was finding a location. But during the 4th of July weekend, we had a chance to drive a ways away from home and found a spot for him at the Kaka’ako Waterfront park.
It was nice to have some ships around in the background, I felt it inspires a backstory for Mici. As if he wandered off and got stranded far away from home. Perhaps he could use a water-dwelling friend.
Birthdays come around so quickly, and I finally got one of those fancy shmancy cutting machines. So, I made this cute little banner!
For this project, I used the Banner Punch Board by We R Memory Keepers. I printed out and cut the letters using a font I liked in Google Docs (sorry, I can’t find it again). Put the whole thing on jute, and done!
Easy peasy! I’m definitely making one for my shop’s next craft table!
Since you got this far, be warned! I’ll be holding an auction on my Facebook page this month. So get ready! Items may be ready to ship, they may be made to order. We’ll find out when it’s live!
I felt like knitting a hat out of a yarn I got a while back. It probably took me longer to find a pattern/design to knit than it took for me to actually make the hat. (Crocheter problems, lol!)
This pattern is super easy to follow and I just love the unique look of the finished product! This would make a great beginner project.
