Much like many people around March/April, I read Project Hail Mary, saw images and trailers for the movie, and became obsessed. This is the result of that obsession, four months later – I’ve crocheted myself a huggable Rocky. I combined the book and movie designs for him, for a few reasons – book Rocky’s body…… Continue reading No Flowers on Erid

Project Roundup
I need a break from Large Projects after those work pants, hoooooh boy. A small cross-stitching project should do the trick – I started this one not long ago, and as I type this, it’s nearly ready to come off the hoop. I have also cast on (a gauge swatch of) another knitted scarf, this…… Continue reading Project Roundup

There’s a few things on the go behind-the-scenes, starting with this turquoise sewing project: It is a fairly small project, and it’s coming together nice and quickly. The next crochet stuffed toy pattern is coming along well, too – and I have made progress on formatting the Lewt document too! Not much, mind you, but…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Baby Jellyfish
Do you ever want to test your pattern-adapting skills and want it to be a quick and easy project? Well, that’s how this little jellyfish came about. I used the same Galaxy Jellyfish pattern by Sweet Softies that I used to make my first jellyfish (which I talk about here!). I modified this jellyfish by…… Continue reading Baby Jellyfish

Winter solstice is coming up in my hemisphere, so naturally, I am making some embroidered sun decorations. *shrugs* Hopefully, these will be done by next week, so stay tuned for the sunshine! In other news, I have spent today cutting out a new pant pattern, which has 26 pattern pieces (!). I am not using…… Continue reading Project Roundup

I have another shirt I’ve been working on for a few weeks now, and it’s nearly finished as I type this. Just needs a hem, and then I need to order buttons! I, like many people who like stories, have been obsessed with Project Hail Mary for the past month or thereabouts – so much…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Lewt the Mouseling Adventurer
One of the Dungeons and Dragons podcasts I listen to is called Girls Who Don’t DND; I may have mentioned it on here before. They had a fundraiser about a year ago for a plushie of one of the characters from their first campaign, Lewt, who is played by the Game Master’s son. [link to…… Continue reading Lewt the Mouseling Adventurer
New Colour Combinations
That blanket of Tiffany’s I mentioned last post is complete! I ended up making the border purple because that was the colour I had the most left of. I think I like it – the copper is quite striking against the pink and purple. Most importantly, Tiff loves it. I did also make it a…… Continue reading New Colour Combinations
Blanket the Second
Guess what I finished last week? Ta-daaa! My second crocheted blanket, definitely ready for use when it gets cold. The pattern I used is from Simply Crochet #146, and is the “Sleeping Beauty” blanket by Marianne Rawlins. The example blanket only uses 36 squares, but I ended up making 108. I used cotton yarn, like…… Continue reading Blanket the Second
Project Roundup
I completed all the squares for my peach/purple/grey blanket recently, so it is three-quarters complete! I have begun the process of crocheting all the squares together, which is not taking as long as I thought. I am working on it daily, which is probably why it’s coming together quickly. The plan is to make three…… Continue reading Project Roundup
