Where Sarah lives, it's been quite cold recently, and her jacket hasn't been keeping all the cold air out. This one looks much better than the old one, don't you think?

Crochet Occamy
Ever since seeing Fantastic Beasts, I've seen an array of crocheted Bowtruckles and Nifflers out on the Internet, but never an Occamy. Until now, however! Isn't it adorable? I crocheted it around a pipe cleaner, which simultaneously provided a wire to make it pose-able, and the stuffing in the form of the fluff. I teased out… Continue reading Crochet Occamy
