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.

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 […]
Okay So About Making a Cat Blanket I made one of these in spring 2022 when my roommate kept complaining that her actual cat was shedding everywhere and I thought it’d be funny to make a blanket WITH cats on it. Like more cats would somehow help the situation, which obviously it didn’t but whatever. […]

okay so about making your first crochet bag So I made my first actual wearable bag in spring 2022 and honestly it was because I had all this Lion Brand Jeans yarn sitting around from another project that I never finished.
