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

I DON'T KNOW WHO NEEDS THIS BUT I BET SOMEONE OUT THERE DOES. You're welcome. I have not tested this, but I'm confident in my c2c charts. I imagine it as a nice, weird pillow (and I might actually make a pillow at some point - I'm a smidge bogged down by my own arbitrary schedule at the moment). 30x30 is also a good size if you want to sc, like, a square hat? Put some pom poms on the top corners. I AM GIVING YOU FREE IDEAS.  It'll work for duplicate stitch knitting too, no doubt.  Get creative, cowards. If you make a thing and post it on the interwebs then please link back here because everyone needs to SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM! OOOOOOH YEAH! Check out my Etsy if you want to buy physical items, Ravelry or Ko-Fi for patterns! I also offer a cool membership on Ko-Fi that currently gets you Pokemon c2c stuff each month!

A second pattern update this week! Look at me go! The Hot Beverage Beanie is an old oooooold olde pattern from back when I first started knitting, so it was LONG overdue for an update, unlike the possum hat . 

  Alrighty! I'm working on updating MULTIPLE patterns this month and this one is ready to go! This is one of my original designs and it is isn't actually that old of a pattern, but I made some tweaks to it based on customer feedback. I also made the pattern itself more readable and added some additional images to the end. Nothing too crazy, but regardless, you can now buy the UPDATED version! Snag it from my Ko-Fi Shop Or Ravelry Or (if for some reason you want to pay more to make Etsy richer) Etsy   There's currently ONE possum hat available to purchase and you can get it here . It's the one pictured in the pattern images above. There will be some more possums added next month when I do my Pride Month Hat Drop...just in time for summer..........

Yesterday I posted about ChatGPT's valiant attempt to write a crochet pattern for a plushie Slenderman . The result was not very slender and also not really any sort of man. More of a weird, moderately unnerving Pokemon. You can see "Slenderman" right there in the image next to "Macho Man." I don't even really know what to say about "Macho Man." He's mostly naked, bald, and I don't think ChatGPT knows what a bandana is. I also don't know what's up with the arm and leg bands. Are those the elbows and knees? I aim to find out while also trying to help this AI become self-aware because I crave the end of humanity. That aside. If you would like to make yourself an AI-generated "Macho Man," here is the pattern as given to me. I'll mess around with this some more next week. Maybe do a little once a week AI pattern monstrosity post. Materials:      Tan yarn      Black yarn      Red yarn      3.5 mm crochet hook     

The results were...something. Unsettling? Charming? Definitely not Slenderman, but not really anything else either? Some sort of Pokemon? Here's the pattern, as it was given to me by my AI friend ChatGPT, if you'd also like to make this "Slenderman." Materials: Black yarn White yarn 3.5 mm crochet hook Fiberfill stuffing Yarn needle Scissors Abbreviations: ch = chain sc = single crochet inc = increase (two single crochets in one stitch) dec = decrease (single crochet two stitches together) Body: With black yarn, ch 2 Round 1: 6 sc in second ch from hook (6) Round 2: 2 sc in each st around (12) Round 3: [sc, inc] around (18) Round 4: [2 sc, inc] around (24) Round 5: [3 sc, inc] around (30) Round 6-10: sc around (30) Round 11: [3 sc, dec] around (24) Round 12: [2 sc, dec] around (18) Begin stuffing the body.

I finally got around to doing one of the numerous things that I had planned to do at the start of this year! I updated one of my very old patterns! The Dalek Hats! And this is just in time for the new Doctor Who! I went through and improved the pattern, tweaking the sizing, and I added more details to the written pattern and some additional images of the new version of the hats. The last section of the pattern is text-only for those people that like to print their patterns! AND I also made a few videos to go along with the pattern, which you can find on my YouTube channel , which I hope to update more frequently with more and more fun (weird, unhinged) tutorials.  Anyway, I don't want to ramble too much, so you can find links to the updated Dalek Hats pattern below:  Crochet Dalek Hats on Ko-Fi Crochet Dalek Hats on Ravelry I kept the pattern the same price, although it is much more detailed now (just $5 USD). It includes both the classic Dalek design and the newer paradigm Dalek,
