Awesome Etsy Shop Roundup Time! 3 Awesome Etsy Shops To Buy Things From Right Now!

Image
UPDATE 2/11/23: All of the below shops are now defunct. Adults Are Kids Too may one day rebrand and reopen. I want to start doing monthly posts like these again. And if you have an Etsy or shopify or you're a streamer, I don't care, just contact me on Facebook and I'll do a little feature! It may not help a ton, but it IS definitely good for your page to have other pages linking to it on the internet! Everything little bit helps, for real, and I am glad to help out other crafters and creators.  I usually do this around Christmas time, but these shops all have awesome year-round items (unlike me, although I am leaning more toward plushies and patterns lately, which are totally rad all the time). I've also been painfully bad at blogging the last several months, and this gives me a nice reason to make a post, right? lulz ;-) So here goes...check out these freakin' cool Etsy sellers and buy stuff from them because they're cool people selling cool stuff. Get some...

One of Jimmy Gibbler's Hats - Free Fuller House Colorwork Chart for Knit Hat

Image
UPDATE 2/11/23: This is a very nice basic Christmas hat. I promised to chart this hat many months ago after I watched the second season of this corny show, but it was right in the midst of the holiday hat rush. I just now had time to sit down and do it. Whew! Jimmy wears a lot of hats in Fuller House (and I'm a big sucker for nostalgic shows, if you didn't know - also a sucker for hats that look fun to chart). I'd like to pattern all of his hats eventually, but this one seemed like a good place to start with a pretty simple colorwork grid. This is classy hat that would be great for pretty much anyone. This chart should work for a CO 96 hat on 6s or 7s. You can feel free to experiment with it, change the colors, whatevs, etc. Jimmy's hat is a dark red/mauve/burgundy sort of color on white with a fold up brim. I think it would look cool with a pom-pom and any two contrasting colors, honestly. If you'd like me to pattern the entire hat, just let me know. I...

Dragon Age Heraldry Colorwork Charts Part 3: Templars, Qunari and Tevinter

Image
UPDATE 2/18/23: Cleaned up the Qunari emblem. UPDATE 2/11/23: I'm going to to touch these up a bit and make smaller versions. It's on the 2023 to-do! Make sure you're following me on Facebook to see when I make these updates! Also, with Dreadwolf coming out soon (eventually), you can absolutely expect some new Dragon Age patterns!   Part 1: Antivan Crows, Circle of Magi, Dalish, Inquisition Part 2: Kirkwall, Legion of the Dead, Seekers of Truth Alright, friends! Long time, no post. I'm slacking on this blog big time. Feel free to shame me. I deserve it. I was asked to procure some Qunari and Tevinter heraldry charts, and I also found an unfinished Templar chart, which is now finished. The Qunari chart was totally done, but I clearly forgot to include it in my two previous Dragon Age posts. I haven't tested any of these charts, but they should be good for tapestry crochet, duplicate stitch, cross stitch or whatever is your fancy. The Tevinter chart doesn't ...

Mr. Meeseeks - Rick and Morty Plush - Free Crochet Pattern

Image
UPDATE 2/11/23: Added a lil note about BLO, otherwise this pattern is still good!     He's Mr. Meeseeks! LOOK AT HIM! I know this took me a while, but he actually shouldn't take long to make if you work on him continuously, which is what I did not do. This is the perfect pattern to share on Valentine's Day though, amirite? EXISTENCE IS PAIN! Focusing now... My finished Meeseeks is about 11" tall. Gauge = 4.5 sts/inch; 3 rows/inch   I worked in BACK LOOPS ONLY. This is not important unless you want the same texture. Just double-check your gauge, but from what I can tell, tight BLO seems to run the same as most peoples' regular ol' sc.  Whatcha Need: Size F crochet hook (or whatever really, depends on what size you want him to be) Worsted weight yarn in turquoise or similar color, a little black, a little white, a little orange if you want hair - I used Red Heart Supa Sava in Turqua, Black, White, and Pumpkin yarn needle stitch marker your ...

FREE Colorwork Chart for Knit and Crochet - The Punisher Skull Emblem

Image
UPDATE 2/11/23: You could c2c this but you might want to add two columns of background on the left and right sides.  I've used this chart for tapestry crochet as well as for duplicate stitch on knitting. It will also work for your preferred colorwork knitting technique or other needly crafts. Like this chart? Like my other charts? Give my Facebook page a like. Share this post to spread the free chart and Punisher love. If you make something rad you can also feel free to share it with me...again, on my Facebook page. Buy things from my Etsy shop too. Happy crafting! XOXOX

UPDATE 9/9/24: There is an UPDATED version of this pattern here . Go check it out for version 2.0 of your long-time family friend. UPDATE 2/11/23: Made a lil note about BLO and also you should pop over to my Etsy and go to Ko-Fi if you're looking for patterns! Make yourself a long-time family friend! I'm not totally pleased with the hat I made for mine, so do as I say in this pattern not as I have done in the photos, kids. Your finished Mr. Poopybutthole will be about 14" from the top of his hat to his feet. Materials and Stuff size J crochet hook worsted weight yarn in yellow, black, cyan (or some light blue), brown, and a little white - I actually used sport weight yarn for his yellow parts because it was a nicer yellow, but worsted should be fine yarn needle stitch marker some sort of stuffing material Abbreviations ch: chain sc: single crochet rnd/rnds: round/rounds st/sts: stitch/stitches inc: increase (2 sc in same stitch) dec or sc2tog: si...

Easy Crochet Fingerless Bag Lady Mitts - FREE PATTERN

Image
UPDATE 2/11/23: I had to admit this but I scrapped this project, and I did it pretty recently. This pattern is still good though for some fingerless mitts or a base for any sort of crochet cosplay gauntlets. Visit Etsy to see my current ready-to-ship inventory as well as check my commission status. There are a lot of patterns out there for fingerless mitts. I wanted a pair of solid, sturdy ones for my Ranger-General Sylvanas gauntlets. If you keep up with my Facebook , you know that I've gone insane and I'm crocheting a Sylavanas cosplay based on her Ranger-General skin in Heroes of the Storm. NB: This is NOT a pattern for the completed gauntlets, this is just the mitts they're attached to. Finished mitts measure approximately 11" in length and 4" across at the widest part, so they're small adult or kid-sized. Because I am a waif of a human. For larger mitts you can either use a larger hook size or add length or girth in the form of more rows or stit...
