and so it begins...
far too absorbent anal beads? just to continue the theme of course.@Celt Z
Maybe I'll look less like a butt plug to you now. Maybe. You have a surprisingly dirty mind

To let you know that *all* my friends think I'm a degenerate, not just you guys, one of my friends sent me a pattern for those
But..what I'm working on now is the wrong shape
about 40% done.
This yarn is like sport weight (size 3) so I'm having to use a smaller hook. Any time I have to make one of those narrow bits, it tires my hands out.
Got like 6 little sausages made so i took a break

Receiving blanket in "mini-v" stitch. About 10 rows in, I noticed I'd dropped a stitch about 5 rows back. I figured the baby won't notice and didn't want to frog it. But I started taking my own advice and use stitch markers at each end for the rest of the blanket.
I downloaded a pattern for crochet sushi. I didn't like the techniques or how they worked up. And i thought the shrimp looked pretty terrible. So, i said "Meh, I've been doing this like a year and a half. Surely I can design my own." Voila.
Onto the next project. Gotta make about 70 little skulls, turn them into granny squares, and then make something from those squares. It's actually going faster than I anticipated.
Sushi plating boat arrived today, so I can show off the sushi crochet as God intended. Of course, i had to make some ginger and wasabi.

I'm doing things more relevant to HFers interests these days...quick build: Dragon scale dice bag, big enough to hold a couple standard sets of dice.
Tinwhistler's new groove
to follow up on the granny square skull thing I mentioned a few posts back: I decided to make pants, and found a model for those pants. So, now that I have measurements I can move forward with that project. Here's a bunch of granny square skulls laid out kind-of pants-like.
soooo tiiired of making skull granny squares. 75% done. Taking a break with a tiny little narwhal
That's super coolNeed something to keep you busy?
I wish I was good enough to reproduce stuff from pictures without a pattern. But I'm still a noob.As it so happens, I bought an official pokemon crochet pattern book a few days ago owing to the fact that my local friends and I are getting back into pokemon go. I don't think it has all of these, though.
I also have recently gotten a book of little monsters where you flip the head/torso/legs for thousands of variants. Kind of like those flip books I used to play with as a kid, but for crochet.
I've pre-ordered a similar book that's coming in April where you can mix and match features.
Amazon product
I don't normally pre-order anything, but I've bought a number of patterns from this designer in the past, so I feel confident that I'll like what she has, and the mix and match feature is really appealing to me.

TIL about the Octo Project, crochet octopuses that preemies can cling to instead of pulling out their IV tubes. It started in Denmark but has a US group on Facebook.
I joined the FB group but had to nope out. They use 2.5mm hooks and small yarn to make super-tight stitches. Which, I totally get. But my eyes are too old for that shit 
So, it's taken about 6 weeks, but I'm almost done. I just have to weave in about 300 ends of yarn. I put most of them on the inside for the picture's sake. But right now, that shit has more fringe than 80's heavy metal kid's moccasin boots.
Pants are done, and my model has the 'rona. I guess it'll be a couple weeks before I can show you pics
On to the next project.
So far, every renaissance festival hood (with or without cloak) I've gotten has been absolutely huge. When they're pulled all the way up, the front comes way down past my nose. I can't freaking see! I can try to let them rest further back on my face, but then they invariably fall off or creep forward. I blame Lord of the Rings for this aesthetic.
What I *really* want is something close-fitting, like a gamebson hood--those quilted hoods you wear under a helmet. Something that will keep my noggin warm, won't impair my vision. and look decent. I found a "elf hood" pattern that's, you know, big and billowy. But it had the right features, including the neck/collar piece. So I figured I know enough now to make adjustments on the fly to size it how I want it.
So far, it's going well.
