Got this gorgeous thing off the loom today! This is the main piece for our tree skirt; the top will be gathered and fastened in some way (button? ribbon? tbd) to go around the stand and trunk, and the bottom will have a wide ruffle to peek out from under our tree ☺️ (eta: the ends will be in the seam between the ruffle and the main body so they didn’t need to be woven in. It’s fine.)

Made some more little mermaids 🥰

Patterns are from Poms & Posies - these are the Mini Merbabies (larger) and the Siren Sisters (smaller) patterns ☺️

[measuredandslow]

I keep tweaking these and it was worth it because they are?? So beautiful??????

A little strawberry mermaid sticker for mermay 🥰🍓

The collection is complete with a Rosy Maple Moth dino! For now, anyway. I love how summery it turned out ☺️

The idea for the gauge (it’s to size knitting needles), and then I just kept going. Story of my life lol

[measuredandslow]

Sometimes when I test something I decide my eyes know better than my calipers and then I end up with a yarn bowl you could fit a newborn in 😂

[measuredandslow]

Unicorn yarn bowls! I had so much fun designing these. Next up: a kitty yarn bowl that looks like kiddo’s familiar has been requested ☺️

The joy of telling my husband that the work is mysterious and important and then holding up whatever ridiculous thing the hyperactive toddler I call my brain has made that day really never gets old

If you like it make it in multiple mediums. That’s my motto now 😆. This guy was *immediately* snapped up by my oldest kid and got a highly coveted bedtime snuggle spot so I think he’s a hit. Refining some things and writing up the pattern tomorrow!

Where is your etsy??? That yarn cup design you have is so cute i would 100% drop the money on it when i get the budget

It’s been a minute since I said so, links! I sell physical products (3D prints, textiles, stickers, whatever else I decide to pick up lol) here.

I sell STLs and a resell license through my Patreon, and I also post behind-the-scenes and thoughts and random samples or one-off sales over there (this happens a lot when I’m testing patterns or get an itch to crochet dragons or whatever).

Coming up I’m writing up a crochet pattern for my milk carton cows and probably doing stickers, because I have never met an idea that I don’t want to do in multiple mediums, so keep an eye out for those soon!

Me: figures out 3D design software

Also me: uses it to stick hearts on things 😂

The krakens…are multiplying

[measuredandslow]

Another work in progress! This one was supposed to be a scary kraken but I think I’m just like, constitutionally incapable of making not-cute, not-chubby designs 😂

We named them the Love You Dairy Much cows and we love them 😍🐮🍪🧁🍓

[measuredandslow]

Have I watched my own video 47 times? Yes 😂. We named them the Love You Dairy Much cows and they’re going on tour to a mailbox near you 🥰

Did y’all know there are programs that will let you just sculpt digital clay and you can make whatever you want (that will print on a printer). Like a cow that lives in a milk carton and carries a cookie 🐮🍪
