New sock pattern! “Wayward Socks” now available on both Ravelry and my website! Featuring an all over slip stitch texture and sole gusset, this pattern is a new favorite of mine to make!

I love pan shots. Here’s one of “The Bus Stop”! Tomorrow is the last day for orders!

I started learning to crochet last year and have enjoyed working on a granny square blanket ever since!

The February club is now open today through the 5th! For "The Bus Stop", I wanted to capture the feeling of a summer rainstorm. It consists of misty grays, blues, and cool greens. It has accents of bright green (for the leaf!), pink, and speckles of golden yellow. "Mei" is a cheerful pink.

Taking a break from packing orders to take the photos for the “Wayward Socks” design coming soon! As if it wasn’t hard enough to take photos of one’s own feet in the first place, I had to go and put the gusset on the bottom of the foot 💀

I wanted to share the final colorway from the Animal Crossing club, which was voted on by you all and is based on cutest bear Maple! The full ACNH collection will come back later on this year at a time to be determined!
