Crochet Stickers? Stick-On Patches? What Are These?!

Image
UPDATE 1/26/23: These were an absolute bust! I love them and ended up with two on my old backpack. I gave the others away as free surprises with other orders. Womp womp! If you stumbled across this post and you want one, you're welcome to request I make one. I'm not sure I have any of the adhesive backing left. I handsewed mine onto my backpack like they were patches.  Check out my Etsy to see what I have available now! Check my Ravelry for patterns! I also have a Ko-Fi ! Wtf Are Crochet Stickers?! Well, a lot of people make embroidered patches. I've accepted the fact that I don't find sewing particularly enjoyable in any form. I do, on the other hand, find crocheting to be quite enjoyable. I'm sure someone else out there in the world has made crochet patches before. I know everyone makes crochet appliqués. I'm not sure if anyone has given them adhesive backing to make application effortless for the laziest of humans. Again, I don't find sewing very enj...

Bigfeet, Double Knitting and the Quest for the Dark Tower

Image
UPDATE 2/4/23: None of these hats are available anymore because this was many years ago. I am thinking about making some double-knit bigfoot hats for this fall though. Get the FREE bigfoot hat knitting pattern here .  Absolutely go check out my current inventory on Etsy ! You can also find my commission status there! If you're interested in patterns, then go to my Ko-Fi page ! There are a lot of patterns there that I don't have on Etsy or even on Ravelry and I even offer monthly subscriptions for goodies!   1. Bigfeet I promised the internet a pattern for the bigfoot hat . I've made two as custom orders (one without a pom pom and one with a pom pom) using worsted weight yarn, but the original hat is most certainly double knitted using DK. I'll post the pattern for the one-sided knit version this Friday for...Free Pattern Friday! I need to take a stab at making the double knitted version. Mentioning this transitions nicely into my next topic of discussion. 2. Dou...

Turtle and Bear Beam Guardian Scarf AKA This Scarf Took Forever

Image
UPDATE 2/1/23: This is of course no longer available, I also priced it horrendously low and looking over these posts has made me painfully aware of how stupid I was. I even acknowledge how long this took and yet...and yet! Lesson learned, but anywho. Check out my current Etsy inventory. At the moment, I have no Dark Tower stuff, but I am seriously considering doing some more, and I will absolutely be making the Beam Guardian animal patterns available, hopefully this month! Follow me on Facebook for the latest updates!  If the Crimson King has been sitting on the balcony of the Dark Tower knitting Beam Guardian scarves it's absolutely no wonder that he wanted to tear the Beams down. I too, at this point, totally want to to cause time and space to crumble. This scarf is awesome. Making it was less awesome. What a drag knitting big ass scarves is. Big ass scarves take much time and much yarn. It was really dismaying when I kept running out of yarn and having to go get ONE MORE SK...

Eye of the Crimson King Colorwork Chart

Image
UPDATE 1/23/23: Whoa nelly, this is one of the first charts that I ever made! It was before I started using Stitchboard , which I swear by to this day! I made a little Stitchboard tutorial here . Anywho, here I am, and I have several other versions of this chart that I never shared! I also knew where I had them saved so I didn't have to rummage for them and I'm going to put them right here! You can't sell anything made with these charts, not because of me! But my Crimson King hats with this pattern got flagged on Etsy for InFrInGeMeNt. It was from the graphic novel artist, so I'm not actually salty about it - just heads up! Personal use only! Respect artists, not million dollar companies (ahem, ahem, Disney...Fox...CBS). Ok, ok, enough of that! trololol   Here are two smaller Eye of the Crimson King charts. I think I've used them both for duplicate stitch?  Right-click and save to resize them! Looking for more patterns? Ravelry ! Looking for other stuff? Etsy ! T...

Dark Tower Yarnbending

Image
UPDATE 1/23/23: Should I make some more Dark Tower stuff? It was always pretty popular. I got hit by the copyright police for the Eye of the Crimson King because I did rip the eye logo straight out of the graphic novels. I ain't mad. A comic artist isn't a billion dollar company (I'm looking at you Disney and Fox and CBS). In a somewhat surprising turn of events both of my Dark Tower hats have sold from my Etsy shop. I suppose there aren't a lot of other Dark Tower-inspired crafts floating around. I'll be making another Crimson King slouch beanie and I'd like to make another Unfound beanie, but in a deeper brown or tweed. I want to tweak both designs and make them smaller too. Along with that I was also thinking about Beam Guardian scarves. It's not scarf season, but they would all be ready for purchase by scarf season. I'm unsure about colors. I was thinking I want to keep them neutral and all in similar shades. At either end of the scarves would b...
