In a valiant attempt to compete with the insane amount of AI/stolen pattern bundles on Etsy, I am rolling out some pattern bundles myself. Of actual patterns. That I made. Myself. Without AI. It isn't 250 patterns or anything like that because I am one human being and I haven't made that many patterns in my life, WHICH SHOULD BE A CLUE THAT SOMETHING IS UP WHEN YOU SEE THESE PATTERN BUNDLES OF INSANE AMOUNTS OF PATTERNS, PEOPLE. OH MY GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU THAT ARE FALLING FOR THESE UNETHICAL LAZY SCAMS. Anyway.  I have two bundles available so far and more on the way. On Etsy. Etsy has become the go-to for patterns AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. IT IS AWFUL. This whole thing is sort of experimental. I'm trying to figure out how to start making money with my patterns again, so I don't have to get a job working for some slimy, greedy ass or another. If this ends up working out then I'll be pulling the individual versions of these patterns from their other locati...

UPDATE 2/12/23: Made some slight edits to make the pattern more readable! If you haven't made mittens or gloves with at thumb gusset before I don't recommend this pattern to you just yet. You're welcome to go for it, but it might get a little confusing. Jerry's mitts in the show are fingerless, but with individual finger holes. I'm not gonna lie, I absolutely hate making individual finger holes. I made these mitts in the good ol' bag lady style, which is less time and also doesn't make me irrationally angry. If you want to make fingers, please, feel free if you have the skillz and patience. I am an ill-tempered knitter. What You Need Size 2 DPNs (set of 4) - use larger needles for larger mitts, you may need to experiment a bit with needle size and gauge 2 stitch markers Stitch holder Fingering weight yarn in red, black, and blue Gauge: 7 sts/inch, 9 rows/inch My finished mitts measure about 3.25" at the wrist cuff and are about 5.5" in l...

UPDATE 1/27/23: I will be making the Drama Llama hat pattern available! If you're interested in this, you should probably follow me on Facebook , which is where I do my regular updates! The pattern will be put on my Ko-Fi page, so you should follow me there too! I formatted this post terribly. We don't talk about it and I'm going to leave it because lol  In the midst of working on a number of personal projects for Dragon*Con and the Katniss cosplay commission, I've managed to church out two new knit hats as well as two new crochet ones. The first knit hat is an argyle hat using the same pattern as my Hogwarts argyle hats and the other is a new DRAMA LLAMA design. There are now THREE awesome DRAMA LLAMA designs - the All Drama DRAMA LLAMA (only exclamation points), the Chevron DRAMA LLAMA (with the chevron stripe obviously) and the new Argyle DRAMA LLAMA. The argyle is really basic and actually resembles a traditional fair isle pattern (rather than just referring to al...

UPDATE 1/27/23: Ok, listen. I'm going to make the Drama Llama hat pattern available. I have another llama pattern, but for whatever reason...my original pattern was more popular? Who knows? I don't know. I have no idea what people want. Different llama pattern for FREE . Anyone want that basic argyle pattern? It would be relatively effortless for me to chart it. I'll put it on THE LIST. Neither of the hats in this post are available anymore. Obviously. It's been years. For my current inventory, head to my Etsy shop ! I have patterns there, but I'm not going to lie to you, get my patterns from Ravelry instead (they're cheaper there because Ravelry's fees are not an apeshit load of trash - I have to charge more on Etsy to offset the fucking fees). I also now have a pretty rockin' Ko-Fi page , which I'll be growing in the coming months! DRAMA LLAMA Chevron - Purple Fizz on Black $20 USD + shipping I gotta confess, pals - this is my favorite llama h...

UPDATE 1/27/23: I love staghorn cabling. That first Beam Guardian scarf was like 60 hours of work. My charts weren't that great either, but it was still a lot. I was also working on so many things at one time! Which is, like, the same as today. Follow me on Facebook for the latest updates!  Beam Guardian Scarf It now measures about 35" long and I'm halfway done with the Tower in the middle. I changed my mind about a couple things since my last major post about it. After I finished the cabling up the turtle side I went straight into work on the Tower. For the Tower I went with a more abstract swirling flower shape. After I finish that I will be starting down at the bear end of the beam and I'll do Shardik, following by a bunch of cabling and attach the pieces. The back is still going to be a solid piece and I'm going to slip stitch the two sides together and finish with tassels. Whew! New Hats I've been working on two hats. One is an Argyle Slytherin ha...

Update 1/23/23: Long posts are good wtf was old me talking about? lol Blogs are for the search robots, not for actual people to read! I mean, you totally can read them. I try to still make them readable for human beings and such. I know a lot more about SEO now than I did back in the day. If you found your way here for llamas, check this out: Jerry Horne's Llama Mitts I reverse-engineered Jerry's mitts and also included the llama chart. I made some hats with it. It's free! Also, while you're here, you should take a look around my Etsy ! If you want free stuff then I have to sell stuff, such is life. You can also see if my commissions are open. For patterns, head to Ravelry ! I'm now offering a cool monthly subscription service on Ko-Fi too!  ~~~~ Beware: Long Post Because I Don't Feel Like Making Multiple Posts. I'm working on a lot of things right now, including some personal projects and I'm about to start a pretty big commission as well. New Hats ...

UPDATE 1/23/23: I should find this pattern and share it, shouldn't I? I'll put it on the list. Look for another update soon! And this is yet another horrifying example of bad pricing and how little I valued my time and effort when I first started this endeavor! I am a new woman in 2023! UNHINGED. BANANAS. WITH PRIDE IN MY WORK. In the meantime, here are my pertinent links! Etsy Ravelry Ko-Fi    Meet the brand new, ultra sexy DRAMA LLAMA - Pastels on Royal Blue with CHEVRONOMG. So listen, chevron is like the coolest thing since sliced bread whether you are knitting or crocheting. It is even cooler than Moroccan tile crochet (I have no idea how). If you're not making something chevron right now you're pretty much a huge, lame loserface. Chevron has been around for like 800 years, but apparently it is just now cool. It just makes me think of gas stations and then I start thinking about cars and then I just want to get a Maserati and my day is ruined. Everyone and thei...

UPDATE 1/23/23: Hot damn! I low-balled the ever-loving shit out of my work back when I first started! $20 for a handmade hat is BaNaNaS! BANANAS! B A N A N A S!   Do you only know how to spell "bananas" because of "Holler Back Girl?" Me too, my dudes. Me too.    But I digress...lord have mercy! These prices SHAME me. I'm not deleting this post though because I believe in transparency or something and like...integrity. Like a ye olde fashioned journalist. Chronicling my own life and progress as a fiber artist or some shit like that.   These prices are a joke and if you think they're not then you can eat a dick smoothie, bruh. If you are also pricing your work this low, FUCKING STOP. QUIT IT. DO NOT. You're not helping anyone and you're railing yourself (not in a good way).   If you want to pay (still pretty cheap) but less insanely STUPID prices for handmade items, please, see yourself to my Etsy shop . Get my patterns from Ravelry or from Ko-Fi ! ...
