Mood Blanket Challenge 2015: Day 103 or Thereabouts

By -

UPDATE 2/6/23: Lord have mercy! Where are the links?! Please, visit my Etsy to see what I have available and check my commission status! If you're looking patterns then I recommend my Ko-Fi, where I also offer a cool monthly subscription!

I managed to not fall behind on my mood blanket despite my extreme video game binge. The binge is now over, more or less. I'm going to replay Dragon Age II for my missing achieves and then blunder through Inquisition again to get some different outcomes. I will do this at a leisurely pace that doesn't interfere with my making stuff. Video game chatter is not for a craft blog! Moving on...

So here are seven new squares and this row will be finished up this week! Finishing rows is my favorite. Also, look at my scrap yarn bin, which is now a basket! It was a tangled mess that took up a bin about three times the size of the current basket before I got started.

I'm hoping to get through all of the little balls of yarn and get rid of all of my "mystery yarn." I know other yarncrafters surely have their own mystery yarn. It is yarn of unknown origin that is a hideous color and possibly unknown fiber.

I'm planning to get some more Game of Thrones colorwork charts out this week as well as do work on my Sailor Saturn costume. I'm also hoping to get all of the sewing done for my Nisha costume and then I'd really like to make some Dragon Age goodies. I don't know what yet, but I must pay homage to the intricate lore that has completely engulfed my existed over the past week. I have something in mind. Sort of. It isn't a solid idea yet, so I'm not going to share. Shhh.

FREE Crochet Pattern - The Fox Plush from The Little Prince

UPDATE 2/8/23: Formatting got weird when I change my blog theme and I have now fixed it!     UPDATED: 10/3/22, for clarity!   You can now get a printable PDF version of this as a PAY WHAT YOU WANT pattern on my Ko-Fi here .     The finished Fox is about 23" from nose to tail. My gauge was approx. 4 sts/inch and 4 rows/inch and I chose to stuff the body and tail rather loosely, legs a bit more firm, but it's up to you. I like a floppy Fox. In The Little Prince (the Netflix movie version), Plushy Fox has orange ears with white inside and the black just around the edge. I chose to make my original Foxes (pictured to the right) with just black ears for silly aesthetic reasons, but you can easily sub in your orange for the backs of your Fox's ears. The new Fox I made had movie-accurate ears (below).   If you're not a crafty-type person, you stumbled across this pattern, and you want a Fox, don't hesitate to message me via Facebook . I'm pretty frie...

This is mostly a joke pattern…or is it??? I whipped it up pretty quick because I thought it was funny, so if you want to expand upon or improve the pattern then by all means do so! Then share it with me because it will make me lol. You can tag my Facebook page or Instagram @michiarr ! I love seeing stuff people make with my dumb patterns! IMPORTANT: This cup will not keep your drinks hot nor cold. In fact, I strongly suggest that you do not put any liquids in this tumbler. The straw doesn’t work, and the lid doesn’t even come off. I mean, you could make the lid so it does come off if you want to, but still don’t put any liquids in this, please. Materials and Supplies ·          Worsted weight yarn in desired cup color, plus some gray, and some white      o    YARDAGE: less than 300 yards of each, way less than 300 of the gray and white ·          Stuffing material · ...
