Patterns are hard.

Well not hard, but tedious. I’m in the middle of working on writing out my first pattern. I started out really excited and now i just really want a nap (oh why did i decide to quit drinking coffee). Im listening to all of these tutorials for inspiration and its just suckin the fun outta me. They’re all so booorrrrriiiing. The audio is all off, the camera quality is blah. And they feel like my boring aunt.

 

I should make a crochet channel. And it will be.. hopefully… not boring. Teehee.

 

Well I’ve got to get back to work on that pattern. I think I’ll release the pattern for the baby blanket first since I feel like it is the easiest.

 

And Because I feel like it here’s a picture of me trying to crochet stitch swatches. Just because.

Making a crochet pattern..

AraeArtsLeave a comment

So as I’m progressing with this diaper bag I feel like I should absolutely make a pattern for it. I’m using pretty basic stitches but I’m wondering if anyone would even want it. There are so many patterns out there. 

I think I will. Only problem is I’m of the “just wing it” variety of crafters. I’d have to type it an uaaahhhh so much work. But maybe it would be gratifying and give me some sort of sense of accomplishment. 

I’ll do it!
And I’ll publish it ooooonnnnn…. Saturday? Seems like that would give me enough time. Hey maybe I’ll include the baby blanket pattern.
Note to self: Take better pictures of that baby blanket.

Finishing up a yarn stash

So I have this dream of living in my car. But with the size of my yarn stash there’s no way that I could fit in my car with my boyfriend in tow. And the dilemma of a fibre artist is that you just can’t get rid of your stash. You have to utilize every last bit. 

So here are some pictures of my stash as is! 

(I actually have quite a bit more yarn but am too lazy to yank it all out of my craft “tool” box)

And I’m really excited. I’ve been crocheting non stop and am thinking I might open up an etsy shop with all the things I’ve been making. 

I’ll be posting as frequently as I can with updates of the things I’m making. And hey maybe I’ll even make up some patterns to post!
Excited 🌵

If you want to see more pictures of my projects I’ll probably post more frequently on Instagram.
