Pokemon Amigurumi Round-Up!

I've said it before around here and I'll keep saying it until I can no longer type: I love Pokemon so much. I have been breathing Pokemon in since I was 4 years old and it always feels like a new breath to me! I even wear my Pokeball Jeans around the town and have a Pokemon tattoo; I think that says something about my dedication. When I first started out crocheting, creating Pokemon dolls is ...

The Hyperreality Sweater

With a few video games on the horizon that I’m really looking forward to, I decided to use my gaming history and I took inspiration from Tron and Mega Man! The lines don’t sync up which gives it a quirky look; the stripes don’t fully complete around but the do match up with those on the arms! Perfect to grab anyone’s attention. We may or may not be living in a simulation, but here’s a fun ode to ... Read More about The Hyperreality Sweater

Seeing them compared ... Read More about Top 10 Crochet Patterns of 2018

Bubble Tea Ornament

I remember back in high school and trying boba tea for the first time; I hated it. I wanted to gag. I didn't understand the appeal of wanting these chewy ball shaped things in my drink, so strayed away for a while. I had a friend convince me to try it again down the road and I guess my taste buds just reacted differently because I was in love with it! I also took a trip to Vietnam and spent a lot ...

Pokeball Yarn Patch
