Okay so I made this blue Barbie dress last July when it was like stupidly hot outside and my AC was broken, which honestly made crocheting tiny things kind of annoying because your hands get sweaty but whatever. The thing about doll dresses is they seem like they should be quick projects but they’re actually […]
Getting Started With The Actual Pattern So basically you’re gonna need cotton yarn for this, not acrylic because acrylic melts when it gets hot and also doesn’t absorb water which is like the whole point of a dish towel. I made my first batch in spring 2022 when I was staying at my sister’s place […]
Making the Actual Candy Corn Shape So basically you’re gonna start with the white tip because that’s the easiest way to get the cone shape right. I made like fifteen of these last July 2024 when my sister asked me to help with her kid’s birthday party and honestly the first three looked pretty rough […]
Making the Actual Candy Cane Thing So I made these candy cane decorations back in summer 2023 which was weird timing honestly because who thinks about Christmas in July but I was trying to get ahead for once. Used Red Heart Super Saver in white and this really bright red that I think was called […]
Starting With The Actual Pattern So I made my first real dishcloth in spring 2022 when I was trying to stop buying those scratchy sponges from the grocery store. Used Lily Sugar’n Cream cotton yarn in that basic white color because honestly I didn’t care about aesthetics yet, just wanted something that worked. The whole […]
okay so candy corn amigurumi I made like five of these last October 2023 while binging some true crime thing on Netflix, can’t remember which one but it was really distracting which actually helped because making tiny candy corns is kinda tedious? anyway you’re gonna want worsted weight yarn in white, orange, and yellow. I […]
Basic Supplies You Actually Need So the first time I really sat down and made a proper bracelet was spring 2022 when I was stuck at home with covid and needed something to do with my hands besides doom-scrolling. You need thread weight yarn or thin cotton—I used Aunt Lydia’s crochet thread size 10 in […]
Getting Started With Bulky Yarn Beanies So last February I was sitting there watching this terrible reality show about people flipping houses and I decided I needed a chunky hat because mine from Target was falling apart. The thing about bulky yarn hats is they work up SO fast compared to regular weight yarn, like […]
okay so sleeves are actually way easier than they look I made this whole cardigan last summer, like july 2024 when it was way too hot to be working with yarn but I was stubborn about it. The sleeves were honestly the part I kept putting off because I thought they’d be complicated but then […]
okay so prayer shawls I made my first one in spring 2022 when my aunt was going through chemo and honestly I didn’t really know what I was doing but it turned out fine. The whole idea is you’re making something someone can wrap around themselves when they need comfort or whatever, so the pattern […]
