I love this silly kitty.

I finally finished crocheting this amigurumi terrier for my coworker - I hope she likes him! The pattern is by Little Owl's Hut/Chirkova Tatiana.

A crocheted plush white dog with an oversized red bow collar sits against a crocheted blanket background in pride flag colours. He is some sort of terrier, with floppy pointy ears and an overbite.

First Terranigma, now Lufia... it's nice to have old favourites revived like this. Looking forward to 2027!

After painstakingly threading yarn hairs into a crocheted wig cap, I had so much fun brushing, straightening and trimming it within a literal inch of its figurative life.

A crocheted doll without a face (yet!) wears a brown yarn wig with a high density of wavy, almost crimped looking yarn hair.

The crocheted doll has had the yarn hair brushed and straightened, sitting just below the shoulders.

The yarn wig is now barely chin length and has bangs. How much yarn was chopped off?!

Diana was very helpful as a wig model for my amigurumi WIP. (This was before the styling portion.)

A black and white cat with white markings on the lower portion of her face wears a wavy yarn wig and is tolerating it surprisingly well.

This was fun, but I feel like I might have overlooked some.

A selection of nine video games which helped shape the poster as a person. They include Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals, Golden Sun, Animal Crossing: Wild World, Dragon Quest IX, The Legend of the Mystical Starring Goemon, Chrono Trigger, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, EarthBound and The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.

I think needle felting facial features onto amigurumi is my favourite part. I'm working on the toy terrier pattern by Chirkova Tatiana. Included - landmarking pins for that 'make a contract with me' kinda look.

A crocheted white dog head which honestly looks more like a goblin. The spaces for eyes and nose are marked with red pins.

The same crocheted dog head, still kinda goblin-y, but less menacing. He has brown eyes and nose, and little visible teeth in a grin.

Daniel retired from the adventuring life, hanging up his trusty blade and opening a shop to sell magical items found during his travels. It was then that 'Sword Dan's Sorceries' was established.

For black cat appreciation day, my two (and a half) black cats! I thank them every day for the good they bring into my life. 💕

Three cats looking at the camera - two fully black with yellow-green eyes and one black with white markings resembling a bushy mustache. They clearly anticipate food in the very near future.

I started working in a dialysis unit recently. I crocheted plush kidneys for two staff members who provided me with valuable guidance during my orientation. Vaguely inappropriate? ...Maybe. The pattern is from Grace Grommes on Ravelry - it's free! 🫘

Two crocheted kidneys sit atop a crocheted throw blanket. One kidney has purple glasses and a shy smile, the other has sunglasses and a bright toothy grin. Yes, they're kidneys with faces.

Bobbi-Lou is happy to meet you. They're a friendly creature(?) who just wanted to fit in with the hottest Earth trends, but was a little late to that particular party. 'Labubu Have a Seat' Crochet pattern by Annicraft! (Improvisations were of my own questionable choosing.)

A crocheted, fuzzy brown creature with two rabbit-like ears and a single green eye with voluminous lashes sits against a yellow cushion. Definitely not a Labubu.

New workplace! New lunchbag. Lunchbag kinda plain. It needed a creature attached to it to distinguish from others like it. So... I crocheted a little slime from Dragon Quest! (I didn't have the right blue yarn, but I still think they're cute.)

The cats have mostly turned the exercise wheel into a bed and a place to request treats.

My crocheted 'fanart' of a #Novympia special guest who hails from South Africa, Dita Janx! It was so much fun seeing them unbox her in a PO Box video. I might seriously become that person who sends unnerving talking dolls to people as fan gifts. #crochet #amigurumi

A crocheted doll of a brazen South African con artist and woman, with long black hair, circular glasses, and varying red and black checked apparel.

Full view of the aforementioned doll - She stands against the arm of a sofa.

The same doll again, leaning back and probably yelling her catch phrase, "HOW'S IT?"

If Darcy can teach us anything, it's adaptability - even if that means turning your cozy cube house into a loveseat. #cat #blackcat

I nearly forgot to post the finished result of the besequined fish! It's a wall hanging I made for my mom's birthday. She likes nautical decor, and I like making kitsch. :) #crochet

A circular wall hanging consisting of three crocheted critters - a yellow starfish, a pink jellyfish and a blue fish of indeterminate species - are displayed on an off-white, net-like background which is meant to give the illusion of being pulled in from the sea. There are bits of shell, pearl and frosted glass scattered about the net and the circular frame.

Now that my holiday gifts have reached their recipients, it's safe to post them! Here's a hedgehog that was initially meant to be a pincushion, but I felt bad about that so now they're holding pincushion instead. This was for my partner's Gran! Pattern purchased from CrochetHobbyArt on Etsy.

I freehand crocheted these little ghosts last year and they still make me smile. They're made with Lion Brand DIY Glow, which has some impressive glow staying power! I kind of want to make a spiderweb out of it for my window.

One unanticipated risk of having multiple crochet WIPs going at once? Accidental symbiotic fusions.

I finished my pineapple parasol just in time for the local pride parade! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 It involved a good deal of time and effort (and undoing my mistakes after stowing it away in a closet last year). Pattern by IraRott - the pattern is great, any mistakes were user error or full inattention on my part. 🧶

An open parasol in white, pink and blue concentric stripes sits on the floor facing the camera. It features a repeating pineapple style pattern of teardrop shapes. There is a mistake in the final five rounds which the crocheter thinks they have hidden well enough - who knows?

It's always a bonus to catch two or more cats in one photo. 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

Two cats, one larger and black on the left, and one smaller and black and white on the right, are looking at the viewer from a bench covered with a green and yellow chunky crocheted blanket.

The cat on the left looks a little surprised, with his mouth slightly open.

It's rare to see all three cats so close together - rarer still to have them all look at the camera! 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

Earlier this week, upon remembering that Mothers' Day was approaching, I decided to spend $100 at Michaels and work against time to make some floral embroidery for my Mom. I think it worked out okay! Except maybe from a botany standpoint - I did a lot of improvising with the flowers.🌻

Embroidery on linen in a grey wood-look frame - it consists of a sunflower, various other nondescript blooms, a monarch butterfly and a pudgy bee.

Embroidery in progress. Currently a pink woven rose is being stitched.

A very rare moment - never before witnessed, in fact! All three cats coexisting on the same bench. ... They were warily watching their mortal foe, the garbage truck.

Three cats sit on a bench by a window, all looking outside, facing away from the camera. There are crocheted blankets on the bench and plants in the window. The cats are looking at a large and noisy vehicle outside as it prepares to move a dumpster.

After completing some other projects, I finally got around to finishing my little pride flag! It's rather uneven and I'm definitely still getting used to embroidery, but it was a lot of fun! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

I've been bitten by the embroidery bug - more likely contracted the obsession from accidentally poking myself. Given so many awful world events, it felt appropriate to try a pride flag - it won't really *do* anything, but it keeps my mind occupied. Just a WIP for now. Take care of yourselves.

I've finished the beginner embroidery kit I bought at Michaels - it's not perfect, but it was a lot of fun! New hobby unlocked! (I couldn't get the needle through the beads, so I got some much needed French knot practice instead. And added woven roses. And sparkly thread on the wings. Oops.)
