UPDATED Claptrap Crochet Pattern AVAILABLE NOW!

Image
FINALLY! I finally updated this thing. I knew it would be an incredibly daunting task because, come to think of it, this is the first plushie pattern I ever wrote - and oh my goodness, it was a doozy. I daresay my pattern writing has improved dramatically since 2016 so the new version is MUCH better. It's a 29-page extravaganza now! I made the pattern more readable and the descriptions more clear. So many pictures! Also videos. You all know I hate making videos, right?  I also simplified a few parts because I figured out better ways to do them than what I originally did. Yay, learning! Anyway, crochet yourself a Claptrap! Get the pattern on Ko-Fi or Ravelry ! It is on the pricier end of the pattern spectrum but it's seriously a heck of a pattern. And it was a 5-day, 8-hours/day O R D E A L to update. ORDEAL, you hear me?! Err...read me?!?! Happy crafting! XOXOX p.s. I've got some cool stuff in the works for my Etsy shop and also upcoming FREE patterns planned!

September Pattern Round-up! CROCHET RAGDOLLS

Image
If you follow me on Facebook then you might be aware of a thread about Benjamin from Little Misfortune . I queried my followers to see if I should make him as a 3D version or a more stylized "flat doll" more true to how he appears in the game. I couldn't for the life of me think of the word "ragdoll" and just kept saying "flat doll" because omg. Anyway, part of Benjamin's charm is how 2D he is and I think he would make an excellent ragdoll so that's on my to-do list after I finish up some inventory and revamping my Claptrap pattern. In the meantime, I rounded some other cool ragdoll patterns up! (all pictures belong to their respective creators btw since I haven't made any of these because there is not enough time in a day for me to do all of the things I want to do)  Unicorn by Spin A Yarn Crochet This is adorable and I intend to make one eventually. It's a FREE pattern with a paid PDF version here . Spin A Yarn Crochet has quite a f

My Friend Wilby FREE Crochet Pattern from Starfield!

Image
  UPDATE 9/21/23: Bethesda rolled out an inferior Wilby pattern the other day, if you didn't know. If you'd like to compare it to my version, which is larger (I was shooting for accurate game size) then you can get that pattern here . I have been playing a great deal of Starfield. I am constantly encumbered by toys and potted plants. It's fine. Give me some pew-pew weapons, a spaceship, and let me collect cute plushies and plants for hours on end, which I'm piling in the middle of The Frontier because my cargo hold and captain's storage are full. Everything is full. Piles are the answer. Also, organs. Oh, my God. My dilemma with how to offload organs. Not the instrument, my dudes, I'm talking internal ones, which I steal. Anywho! Free pattern! Because I am nice and also Bethesda loves the copyright police when fans of their games want to make $2. It is what it is. Just like my in-game hoarding. You can though get a pay-what-you-want PDF version from Ko-Fi if yo

Mr. Midnight Pattern Update!

Image
  I got a commission for one of these fellas so I took the opportunity to update the pattern. I fixed some typos and general readability and I added a bunch of additional step-by-step images AND I made a bunch of companion videos to help with assembly including one about ARTICULATION! Anywho, you can get the updated version of the pattern from Ko-Fi or Ravelry and you can check out the companion video playlist here . If you haven't played Fran Bow , the game that Mr. Midnight is from, then I've also got you covered and you can snag it here .

August Pattern Roundup! NOT Boring Granny Squares!

Image
I am going to try my gosh dang hardest to consistently do some sort of pattern roundup every month. It's going to be a mid-month thing, I decided. It will be somewhere between the 14th and16th to give me a little flex in case I have a lot going on. This month I'm hitting you all with...oh, no...not...GRANNY SQUARES?!?! I know, I know. There are already numerous collections of granny square patterns all over the internet. Lists and lists. So many. Endless. Grannies for days, months, eternity! I'm bummed there's not alliteration because y'all know I love alliteration. Anywho, I'm doing my own little granny collection here now. These are some of my favorite NOT BORING grannies and they are all FREE! But listen, most of them also have an ad-free paid version if you want to throw a couple dollars toward the creator, which I strongly encourage. Always.  Also be sure to check out my Etsy shop to see what I have for sale and scope out my Ko-Fi if you're interested

New Prehistoric Pals Hats and UPDATED Pattern!

Image
  I spruced up my old dinosaur hat pattern! I do believe it's my last knitting pattern that I needed to update to version2.0! It's two patterns in one! Two dinosaurs! A long-neck Brontosaurus dino and a T-Rex! The T-Rex is super cute, especially in pink, if you ask me. Anyway, the pattern is now more clear and I made some changes to resize it so the finished hats have a better fit. You can get it from Ko-Fi or Ravelry RIGHT NOW! There are also a few physical hats available on Etsy ...while supplies last! I'm not planning on stocking them unless there's interest, so what's there is what's there! The hat below is available and it's a variation of the one in the pattern! Easy variation! Just two rows of dinos! It makes a bit slouchier of a hat. Happy crafting! I'll be moving on to reworking my crochet patterns next! I'll be adding more step-by-step photos and also making some companion videos to go along with them!

Nyan Cat Colorwork Chart for C2C or whatever

Image
A special treat! I needed a little knitting break, so I made a Nyan Cat grid! I think it would make a nice c2c crochet pillow cover (I've sort of been itching to make weird pillows but I don't want to turn into my grandmother and have 96 decorative pillows swallowing all of my furniture).  Anyway, SURELY someone needs this! I didn't add diagonal lines for c2c because I don't want people to think it's c2c ONLY. For real, do what you want with it. Be free. Get creative. You can download it and edit it, if you want. Add more stars or something. I do wish I had added a few more stars.  Happy crafting! If you make a cool thing and share it online then please provide credit and link back to this page! I tediously clicked every single one of these squares to color them. For real. I did. Check out my shop if you're looking to buy something or check my commission/custom order status! If you're looking for patterns then go to Ravelry or Ko-Fi . On the latter, I
