Ko-Fi Memberships

By Michelle -

I'm going to be ending my Ko-Fi memberships at the end of this year unless something incredible happens, and I get way more than nine subscribers before December. After almost three years I haven't ever gotten into the double-digits. Not even once. I have no idea how to promote this because these posts get buried on every platform I've tried to share them on since I started. I'm tired and I give up.

The amount of time and effort that goes into making these charts, the nice PDF patterns, and writing the posts is not worth the $28 I make per month. This isn't enough to count as a side hustle. It's just pathetic and I could spend that time doing other things that either: a) make more money or b) that I actually enjoy because this has turned into a monthly chore since I haven't been able to get people to sign up. I'm over here making patterns for the void.

I'll keep it going if anyone really wants me to. And not to be Cunticia about it, but don't tell me to keep doing it if you aren't a member and don't intend to sign up because kind words do not get back my wasted time nor do they pay my bills - I appreciate them, but they are not helpful in this context.

If you want any of the three years' worth of charts and patterns then just subscribe in December and download everything then I'll cancel your subscription when I end the whole charade on January 1. Happy New year to me. 

You can find all of the patterns to date on the member-exclusive patterns page. I'm not even going to bother linking it because no one is going to click it.

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 · ...
