When I was a little girl growing up in the 1980s, one of the first “fandoms” I remember joining was the My Little Pony fandom.

I had the little Pony stables and the clothes and of course a hundred Ponies. I remember playing with them for hours in my room. They actually would put on full Broadway musicals. I remember more than one afternoon spent with my record player (I was born in 1977, vinyl was totally a part of my childhood) and having the Ponies act out the different roles to a musical.

These are a few of my (least) favorite things

“Dropped needles in couches and whipstitching ears on plush kittens. Tugging and tying the ends of tiny mittens, trying to find a hook the right size, these are a few of my (least) favorite things”

Okay, so “The Sound of Music” this isn’t, but I do have a (semi) legitimate concern. [Not really…].

As I’ve gotten more into amigurumi and making my Luvvies I have learned some very important things about myself: When given time and free reign, I can crochet pieces quite quickly, especially if they are done with a larger hook, and the pieces are looking rather good. The same cannot be said about construction.

What’s Yarn Got to Do With It?

When I was younger and started to crochet, I don’t remember there being a plethora of yarn choices. I don’t even remember having crafty type stores like Joann’s and Michael’s, although I’m sure they were around (I’m only 40 😳).

I just remember having my little skein of yarn and crocheting and ripping it out and then abandoning a project. I don’t remember different thicknesses or feels or different hook types (aluminum, bamboo, that’s a whole other post). So, it came as somewhat of a surprise she. I came back to the craft at the wide array of choices there are on the market. Read More…

WIP – Puppy 🐶

I have a few projects I’m working on for friends, and many are patterns I’ve never done before.

Right now I am working on a puppy for my friend’s birthday gift. I don’t know if this will actually look like a dog head or not, but I think it might pass as a cute hat 😂

I can always tell how far along I am in a project when the body parts start piling up on my work station (also known as my couch) Read More…
