I made a jolteon! My dad suggested I name him Al JOLT-son so say hello to Al everyone! The pattern is by @53stitches and can be found here!

here's the hal jordan i was crocheting

the pattern I used was this by 53stitches, but I changed the colours and body length cause I wanted him to be taller

I should make him a bf

[thoughtsfromthegrandline]

I crocheted myself a tiny reindeer doctor and I'm so pleased with how he turned out!! Thanks to @53stitches for the free Chopper pattern!

[trialbystory]

Donations are open and all prizes are now visible, including the above-linked crocheted pokemon you may have seen me posting about earlier this year. I have additional good news about them: They're not a silent auction! This means if you'd like to get my lovingly-made creations you don't have to drop $1200+ to do it. Instead it'll be a raffle-style giveaway where sometime during the specified shift (3am-9am eastern on November 12th, a little rough for us North/South America folks) they'll announce the giveaway, pick a number greater than $5 but typically less than $12, and for the next hour anyone who donates a multiple of the chosen number gets that many entries into the drawing for the prize, so long as you've signed up for a donor account. Oh, and check out all the other giveaways and auctions, because there is so much cool stuff. Seriously I wish I had anything resembling a warchest this year because there are at least 5 prizes I'd love to get my hands on. Maybe if I'm nice in chat I can ask the other crochet folks who participated where they found the patterns they used. (My Kanto Starter Trio were made with the patterns from 53stitches, if you're curious. They have some other free pokemon patterns as well if you also forge constructs from yarn.)

grant emerson weekend, day 3: Safe

[ID: Picture 1 is of a crochet doll of Grant Emerson (Damage) from DC lying down against a red background. He is wearing his blue JSA costume with the hood on, and orange boots. Picture 2 has the Grant Emerson doll held standing up. He is about the size of the hand in the picture. END ID]

my submission for grant emerson weekend :> i'm going to say it's for "safe" because i made him with the idea of sending him to a good home.

here he is contemplating a garden:

[ID: The Grant Emerson doll is held in a 3/4ths view in front of a window. In picture 1, he is in focus and the garden outside the window is out of focus. In picture 2, he is out of focus and the garden is in focus. END ID]

costume reference pics, process talk, and links to the patterns i referenced under the cut!

i didn't really have a plan when i went into this... i referenced these two crochet patterns: Batman from @vesnianka.toys and Spiderman by 53stitches. i made them smaller and placed the colors based on what my heart told me. i tried to write down my pattern as i went but i lost it around when i attached the arms.

the original idea was to crochet the orange parts of his costume, but i could not figure out how to crochet a triangle properly, so i went with felt. unfortunately, that means the color of the boots and the costume don't match.

itemization of Grant Emerson Doll

body: crocheted with blue, tan, and orange yarn. stuffed with cotton!

orange costume detail: orange felt and red sharpie, hot-glued on

eyes: aida cloth, hot-glued on

reference pics: i mostly went with the JSA costume (picture 1), but i had to add his titans-era orange boots (picture 2)

2024 Goals

Hello friends and happy 2024! Can you believe we're already a month in? Feels like time has just flown by! Things have been crazy busy in the workshop so I wanted to give you all an update as to what our goals are for the upcoming year. 

First up, we're making some new dolls! Our primary goal is to make all of the Sailor Scouts from the anime series Sailor Moon. This series was extra special to me growing up so getting to make amigurumi of these magical girls brings me a lot of joy.

Second, we're hoping to have an actual storefront up, ideally, by May! Why May? That gives me time to get all the photos taken, descriptions written, and prices determined. Plus I can adequately give all the due credit to the lovely folks whose patterns I'm using to create these wonderful amigurumi. 

That being said, what's going to be in the store? Glad you asked! My plan is to have two separate categories: Ready to Ship, and Commissionable. Since I am still doing local shows, the items in the Commissionable section would mostly be those items, while the items in Ready to Ship will be the available bigger items since they're a bit harder to sell locally. Of course, as items sell and become unavailable, they will be moved to the Commissionable section until such time that they are ready to ship again.

And there you have it! An update on our goals for the year! It's a lot of work but we're hoping to get it done. Be sure to keep an eye out for future updates as well as new items for sale! I'm going to try to post at least one Sunday a month, maybe two if I'm feeling ambitious (working out a schedule still) as I take new pics of merch and try to grow this little business of mine! Have a great 2024!

I started to learn crocheting with the pokémon amigurumi patterns from @53stitches

I second using ravelry

hiya again trainers, lisia here (for the second time today) and i'm using this account's reach for evil because it's admittedly convenient lol!

so i'm looking to get into plushie / amigurumi crocheting and am mainly interested in pokémon patterns, does anyone here have any creators or resources they'd like to share? sharing through comments or asks is both fine.

in the end i wanna show pics of the things i make here... i found a pretty easy-seeming lotad design and have two books on amigurumi making, but i think i'll need all the help i can get LOL. thanks in advance!! (≧∇≦)b -lisia
