Attack of the Loveys

I have a new-found obsession with making Loveys. I'd never seen one before a couple weeks ago and now I have ideas to make about a hundred different ones!

I know I said the next one I'd be posting would be a Vaporeon Lovey pattern, but I had so many cute ideas, and so I started making others before I even had the chance to pick up yarn to make a Vaporeon one.

I just finished two new designs today, but my indoor lighting is shit right now so I'll be taking pictures of them tomorrow and possibly posting the patterns in my shop later tomorrow evening. One is ocean-themed because I have an obsession with the sea (I am landlocked and the closest ocean is a 12 hour drive) and eventually when I'm ready to have kids, I want to make an ocean/beach-themed nursery. The other Lovey is actually Harry Potter themed because I'm a little bit of a huge HP nerd.

Hopefully I'll have those out tomorrow, so be sure to keep an eye out for them!

Eevee Lovey!!

I just wanted to let everyone know I have a new crochet pattern available in my Ravelry and Etsy stores!

It's an Eevee Lovey! Available for only $2.50!

Eventually, I will have the entire Eeveelution set in Loveys, but for now, Eevee's all I got.

Next up: Vaporeon! (Because it's my favourite ;D)

Finally finishing up some projects!

Seeing as I'm trying to overcome crocheters-block right now, I've decided it's time I get out some of my projects that I started forever ago and actually finish them.

So far, I've been able to complete 2 baby blankets (I am ashamed to say that one of them was started in 2011 and didn't get finished until now) though I still have 2 full sized afghans that need to be finished. Luckily, they're both more than halfway finished so it shouldn't take me more than a month or two. I also need to finish my first full sized sweater that I ever started and a cable-knit hat that I've been putting off because I lost my place in the pattern and I don't know how to continue it.

I'm going to keep working on hats and such to sell at craft sales and online but I'm going to try and hold off starting anymore big projects.

For those of you waiting for new patterns: DO NOT FRET! I'm going to have a little more free time in the next couple weeks to write up some of my patterns and get pictures for the ones already written up.

Updating Control Tower

I have had a serious lag in crochet activity over the past two months.

I started dating someone and it's been going amazing and I got a job (it's not a good job, but I get paid so I'm not complaining) so I've been a little busy.

I've only completed two hats in two months and I'm kind of going into withdrawal right now.

It actually got so bad that I started another blanket. This one is a present for Shayne (my boyfriend) for either his birthday or Christmas, whichever I get it finished by.

Hopefully I'll start having the motivation to make a few patterns by the new year and not be so lazy about it

Hunger Games Afghan COMPLETED!

I DID IT
I FINALLY DID IT
I COMPLETED AN ENTIRE AFGHAN
IT'S ACTUALLY DONE
AND IT DIDN'T TAKE ME 3 YEARS

It doesn't look huge, but it is. And it's heavy. I can't even use it right now because it's too heavy for summer. I tried last night and I ended up waking up sweating like crazy and kicking it off my bed

Now I just have to finish the other two afghans that I started . . .

Supernatural Enochian Protection Sigil Chart

For all my fellow Supernatural lovers

50 x 50

I suggest using sc throughout, and starting from the bottom left corner (I don't know if there's really a set starting point, but I've just always done it from the bottom)

Please post pictures! I'd love to see what you guys are using it for!

Avengers Insignia Chart

My best friend (Annie) and I are huge Avengers nerds so I've been wanting to make something for her with the Avengers symbol for the longest time but wasn't able to find a good, universal chart so I made my own

Chart is 50 stitches by 50 rows

Will turn out best if you use single crochet for the entire thing

Please post pictures of what you decide to use it for; I'd love to see what you all come up with!
