Personally, I think they *totally* work!! You get the slight variation in texture by using slight variation in size instead of shape. Truly gorgeous combo!

My art for today's #NerdfArters prompt may be delayed a bit. Never fear, though - I have waaaaay too many crafting supplies, and I ain't afraid to use 'em!

She did say that odd mms are more difficult to find in general, as is a nice medium pink. Opaque just adds another layer to this unicorn. Anyhoosie, I'll let you know if she finds anything

Ok, so... I called my local bead place. (They've been around 21 years.) The fabulous gal there couldn't immediately find anything meeting your spec, but she's going to keep looking and will also see if something can be ordered. She'll call me back later today.

Groovy, man... (Might do a different version later, if I have the energy) #NerdfArters
Crocheted slice of pizza with tan crust and red sauce, point down. Atop this is a non-traditional "granny" square crocheted in 4 colors. From the center they are a seafoam green, golden brown, ivory, and black. The overall effect is somewhat kaleidoscopic, yet muted. On the top right corner, the typical "Pizza John" face (this being an image suggestive of a bespectacled man sporting a mustache) is rendered in a bright pinkish purple on white felt, angled with the head tipped toward the viewer's right, chin overlapping the edge of the granny square and top of the head extending just past the top and right edge of the pizza, obscuring that corner.

Much effort, None wasted #NerdfArters

Crocheted "pizza" slice with tan "crust" and red "sauce", point down, displayed upon a black background and a "vignette" effect where the edges fade into shadow. Atop this pizza is a two-toned grayish-blue mola mola nose down eyeing the word "cult" (in cursive, created with a light blue chenille stem) as it pops off the tip of the pizza

@ismildlypoetic.bsky.social Special version of today's prompt, just for you #NerdfArters
Comma, comma, comma, comma, comma chameleon

Picture of a laptop screen showing a chameleon from the side, with his head on the right side of the screen, giving the most phenomenal side-eye. Affixed to the screen, arranged along the back of the critter are five black commas one white squares

Made this one during the pizza party! It was a group effort! #NerdfArters
Crocheted slice of pizza with tan crust and red "sauce" with green felt "basil leaves" and white felt "mozzarella" slices, upon which 3 brown crocheted commas. We can pretend maybe they're sausage bits or mushrooms?

I'm never sure if it's really an emotional attachment or just the annoyance of having to get used to all new everything.

Connor's Mom @cmhay.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Besides, I know that realistically I wouldn't likely wear it. BUT IT'S SO PRETTY AND AMAZING!!! I want them all to go to homes where they'll be loved and used!

Mortgage money *always* goes to the mortgage! In addition to not having my size, having just paid the mortgage means even less money pretending I could spend it - ha! - so one more level of temptation reduced.

Connor's Mom @cmhay.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I have to admit, I was kind of relieved my size sold out. It's way easier to resist the temptation to spend the mortgage money that way!🤣

"You're my favorite DFTBA!" (I spent waaayyyy too much time on that hat!!) #NerdfArters
A crocheted slice of "pizza" (with the wide end at the top and point at the bottom) tan "crust" peeking out from a sea of red "sauce", atop which sits a likeness of "Pizza John" on white felt with red marker details. He is dressed in a "Western" fashion, and the outfit bears a striking resemblance to Woody from "Toy Story". He wears a yellow shirt checkered with red stripes, with the collar folded down and two "mother of pearl" buttons with "silver" edgings appear in the middle; a white vest with black spots that resemble the markings on a cow and black and white edging; a gold-colored Sherrif's badge on his left (viewer's right) chest; a red, white and black "bandana" tied around his neck with the knot and tail showing at his right (viewer's left) shoulder. His head touches the top edge of the tan "crust", and in fact protrudes just slightly above it. There is a crocheted brown cowboy hat on his head, with a darker brown hatband. The brim of the hat is angled so that a portion of the hatband is visible.

Connor's Mom @cmhay.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Yup! I didn't have time to crochet all the bits, so I had to improvise 🤣

I was kinda in a rush, and I lack the proper display surface, but I think this is giving "Pizza Friends", no? ##NerdfArters Day 1, 2027
Two crocheted "pizza pals". Each ever-so-slightly anthropomorphic slice of pizza with tan yarn "crust" and red sauce (ted yarn) "base", "slices" of white mozzarella (felt) which could be seen as mouth and eyebrows(?), a single "slice" of tan and brown "mushroom" (felt and marker) indicating a nose, and black and white google eyes. There are small bits of green felt scattered about that are intended to represent chopped basil, a few of which have landed on the "mouth mozzarella" in a way that hints at a smile. 

They have red crocheted arms and legs, posed to look like they are holding hands and skipping together. They are displayed on a black computer monitor.

When you blow your entire #Pizzamas budget just filling up the minivan
Photo of the gas pump after filling the tank of a minivan. The (discounted) price per gallon for each of 3 grades is displayed across the top in red:
Regular unleaded $4.09
Plus $4.69
Super $5.04

The gray sale screen shows the total purchase cost of $73.00 on the top line, then the number of gallons is 17.810

I got Regular 

A portion of a green label from the Dept of Weights and Measures attesting to the accuracy of the pump can be seen on the left side of the photo

Now that it's time, I have to figure out what I want to make! Yarn? Fabric? Fiber-du-jour? I still have 30+ pizza slices that I started last year. Do I package them with felt cutouts so you can "build your own pizza"? Do I just keep thinking and come up with something else? #P4A2027 #NerdfArters
