You guys remember I got a good deal on that lot of Transformers toys on eBay? You probably don't remember, actually, since I barely remember mentioning it-- it happened, though! One of them was a toy that's difficult to come across and expensive when she is available but she was broken. There's some translucent plastic right at a hinge and, well, y ( Read more... )

I had a big yarn package arrive today~ About half of it is the special order I made a little while back. I'm really excited to continue the project I started with a couple of my June mini-skeins. I'll need to do another special order to finish-- there was some confusion about what colorway I wanted and I mistakenly thought it would be available for ( Read more... )

So, I didn't get my other crochet thing done but I cannot be bothered to worry about because I just took my new top off the board and I'm so happy with it! I do wish I'd had enough yarn for a few more rounds, tbh. Maybe if I had real blocking boards/pins I could've gotten more length out of it. And I think if I do this kind of yoke again, I'll make ( Read more... )

My monthly yarn package came so much later than usual this month that I was almost convinced that I'd already received it and had just forgotten where I put it. Glad I hadn't started looking for it, lol. It's just as pretty and vibrant in person as in the product photos and having it in hand made me completely change my mind about what to do with a ( Read more... )

So, I did end up frogging most of the way back. And now I'm regretting it, lol. I mean, I had to frog and try something else anyway since I ended up not having enough for the stitch pattern I was doing but I don't think I should've frogged all but my foundation round. Now that I'm all the way back here, though, Idk, maybe I'll take advantage and ( Read more... )

Oh, hey, do you guys remember I was rethinking crocheting that basket with my yarn club shipment? Well, I did go ahead and frog it. Instead of a scarf for my little niece, I decided to try something different-- a circle vest! I looked at a couple patterns for toddler sizes but ultimately free-handed it. I also completely forgot to take any notes, ( Read more... )

I think I've caught a cold from my nibblings. I've been pretty careful about masking around them but I got lax with it because it's been so hot and it was so uncomfortable aaand this is what I get, lol. The symptoms are annoying but really mild, it hardly feels like more than allergies. I stayed home from work today anyhow to avoid spreading it and ( Read more... )

Made a quick run to the craft store today in hopes of getting a yarn swift and winder. No dice, alas. I think I'll have to order online if I want them. I did find some zippers and some fabric for some crochet pouches I want to line. I need one more zipper to finish them all-- the color I wanted wasn't available in the size I need-- but I'm glad to ( Read more... )

Well, getting the problem fixed ended up taking a call to support, apparently, but I managed to get my yarn order through! It seems the ongoing problem was caused when someone else tried to the buy the yarn and the website got stuck in some kind of processing loop due to a glitch. Everything seems to be clear now, though, and I'll probably be ( Read more... )

You guys remember I said my coworker wanted to commission a Raichu plush from me and I was thinking about it? Well, I thought about it-- and I did it!
