I'm working on various crochet projects. still have the stinkhorn hat on the hook, but set it aside for other projects, including getting ready to move.

ooh good luck with the move, Den!

Gonna make some fabric pouches to put up for sale this week. :D Have lots of cute printed fabric to use, though I should at some point stock up on more zippers. ;w;

[Night Fury]

I don't sew often but last thing I made was a small purse for my mom. I found some patterned material I thought she'd like at a yardsale and she loved it, it is like big enough to hold a normal sized book. She loved that I added a zipper on it.

In the past:
I've made two plushies, a quilted baby blanket, one was a pink baby blanket and a dragon out of the extra material. A plush of Gir from invader zim, sister requested that one. A light laced cover with sleeves for a wedding dress. A lot of face masks and some cat toys.

I mostly mend things though or hem pants... mom was working on some for an outfit and I helped her measure it...

Once also made a costume with grandma but I mainly was the model but I made suggestions or slight edits to make the costume work since she didn't want to sew it to the exact design. I learned a fair bit watching her make it though.

Multicraft a lot though, so mostly other materials. No clue if I've posted here before, I forget. I haven't been on in years.

Ay, welcome back!

Finally getting back to my charmander inlay. Yesterday discovered that I can't count/hadn't been counting the jumprings at the start of the rows properly and had somehow increased twice. Once just a few rows back from where I'm currently at, but the other was like halfway back. Thankfully it was pretty easy to fix, but super annoying to discover.

Work is doing a staff art show in October, so I really hope I can finish the gen 1 starters for it. Or at least just charmander and a couple other chainmail things.

[Night Fury]

good luck hope you can complete it in time =) the start of it looked good!

[Den]

had enough time before I came down to Florida on the 17th to finish the Stinkhorn hat, but it's up in Iowa because I didn't wanna deal with it on top of everything else. working on a top now.

[Kaderin Triste]

Night Fury: Thanks! I think if I keep my current momentum going, I should finish the charmander by end of Feb...maybe March. Especially if I can get going a little earlier on my weekends. I kinda discovered it's easier for me to focus on it if I get out of the house, so I walk over to one of the coffee shops near me, get a little treat, and spend a few hours working.

Den: Ooh a top? Can we see when it's done?


Anyway, it's been a while, so charmander update photo:

[Den]

Yeah, once I get it done!

[Night Fury]

Kaderin Triste, looking forward to seeing it when you finish =)

back in Iowa because the job turned out to be a thinly veiled Ponzi scheme. working on a draft blocker for the basement door, because every little bit helps. January is historically our most brutal winter month. Top work will resume once the draft blocker is in place.

Oh jeez.

I’m currently over in Seattle, just a biiiiiiit of a weather difference from Arizona (I keep moving to places during the worst months). New job. Hopefully much better than the old one. That was… not healthy.

we moved in october of 2022 from the Philly side of PA (45 minutes NE of Philly) to the Pittsburgh side of PA (45 minutes NW of Pgh).... the only weather changes really are the summers aren't quite as humid, and Pittsburgh is the #2 Cloudiest Cities in the US. Sorry Espy, Seattle was #1 on that list XD

i'm making a few crochet things for the Ravellenic Games over on Ravelry. first up is one of those red tassel hats that were banned in Norway during WWII :)

[Night Fury]

So we had a winter hat that was too small for everyone's head and it was falling apart because someone tried it on and it ripped. So, a couple days ago I turned it into a headband. It works perfectly now!
