I made 99 masks for my boyfriend's mom's company awhile back, and I've made a few for friends and myself... debating about offering knitted plushies to my shop as well.
I use She/Her and They/Them pronouns.

Of course idk if I actually want to get into making those because it's not really my kind of project and if I make a few, she's gonna want me to make more and I don't really want to be treated like a toy factory and forced to churn out whatever she wants just because she thinks it'll sell.
🙄

Like...just because I've got a few plushies in the gift shop, doesn't mean I want to make only kids stuff. I also make some beautiful shawls and blankets....
it's a thing non-crafters say when they really like your work, but are clueless about the rest of it. like: as a rule, i only make one thing from a pattern. after that i'm done with it.

when i first started crocheting, a few people wanted me to make them a dragon from a pattern that i'd made. it was cute and all, but by the 4th one i was so done with it. if it's not fun, i'm not doing it.

Supposedly she crochets (though I have yet to see any of her work), but I suspect she jist doesn't want to make it so she's trying to get me to make one instead.
I'll probably just make it and sell it on Etsy instead.

Ngl, I still want one of those dragons...
>.>
But if someone else make one similar/the same as it, I can always get one from them.

But I can understand pattern/project burnout. For me, I've discovered that I can to a pattern any number of times, but as soon as it becomes a commission order, I will drag my feet on it and it's not fun anymore. I can still make the pattern again, but commissions take me way longer than just making a normal pattern would because that particular one isn't fun.

maybe suggest to your supervisor about having an etsy shop together and see what she says to that XD

Ohhhh.. I mean, I probably want the smaller one too. I want all the dragons.

And fuck that. She can have her own etsy shop. She can collaborate for gift shop items if she wants, but my items are for my etsy and mine alone.
XD
Technically my Etsies, plural. I'll eventually have Derpy & Co for adventuring companions (plushies) and Shade Creations for jewelry, shawls, and everything else.

I got a new row counter today! it's a digital one (I have a manual one, but it's with another project) that is meant to be worn as a ring on the index finger.

Ah, I bought one of those a while ago! They're nice, but I keep forgetting to use mine. I also generally just tally on paper if I need to keep track of rows/repeats.

It's been dead useful for plushie knitting for me. Especially ones where I have a bunch of parts to knit up. And I even managed to get a blue one :3

I do enough charted patterns and patterns where I have to pay attention to the row number to justify spending the $5 I spent on it. I doubt I'd need it for anything that I have fully memorized, but most of my stuff that I knit? I don't have fully memorized. Plushies are one of those things where I need to follow the pattern at this point, but hopefully after I finish the Mighty Nein plushies, I'll have the base body pattern down pat.

Hey guys? I started a webcomic. Based on Stardew Valley. Even if you aren't a fan of the game, maybe read it? Is just the first page >.<"

Nice! I know very little about Stardew Valley (it's a game and from the couple short gameplay clips I saw years ago, the style of it reminds me of Harvest Moon and Rune Factory. That's it. That's what I know about it), so idk how much I'll actually keep up with the comic, but

I do intend on taking some artistic liberties with some things, if only to translate gameplay into comic format a but more easily

But I'm hoping that even those who don't play Stardew can enjoy it

I will say though, Stardew is not at all hesitant to show off darker moments fully. Some of the most recent HM/SoS ones will take the darker moments and lighten them up so they aren't really, uh, bad. Or have a permanent effect on the NPCs

I can only speak for me, but the main reason I generally don't read comics based on a specific series/game is because often there are specific references or subplots that rely heavily on said series/game and so I generally miss out on a lot of references or have those "I don't get it" moments. *shrug*

However, I don't want to make it sound like making the comic is a bad thing. If you share more of it later on, I'd probably still check it out, I just wouldn't probably actively seek it out on my own.

I'm hoping I don't cause that problem
Like Star's stamina will probably increase over time, rather than any time she gets a stardrop like in the game
And anything that has potential to be confusing I'll try and remember to mention in the commentary
