Should I make a YouTube? Idk. I have ideas. Discussions of past projects. I want to make a companion (hehe) video with the blanket I’m working on.

But cameras scare meeeeee

Tomie blanket is done!!!!!!

Thought a two color blanket would be a fun challenge.

I don’t have a next blanket pinned down, but it will be doctor who related. I have a bigger project in mind that involves it as well.

I Said i was working on something!

I’ve been dealing with a lot so I haven’t been able to work on this.

Would you believe me if I said this was supposed to be a blanket for Halloween? Oh well! Perhaps Valentines could work.

More to come in 2024.

I promise I’m working on something. I’ll likely frog. But I just have entered a busy time in the semester, between midterm ramp up, homework, and NCL I just don’t have a lot of time rn. I’ll update whenever I’m at row 150!

The fact I can dunk on Toby fox’s friend’s toilet because I once drank a coke that expired in 1997.

I haven’t crocheted recently because I burned my thumb and didn’t want to agitate it. I but I doodled a little.

Thumbs looking better and I’m moving full steam ahead now, hopefully be at row 200 by end of week.

Here’s one of said doodles. :)

Sailor Moon stash buster is going swimmingly! Hard to think I had all this yarn (outside of bright yellow) on hand.

In July 2020, i wanted to cheer up my brother by making him a blanket. Pixel art had always been something that fascinated me, so I had been dying to try out tapestry crochet. Little did I know I had found my new passion.

Shortly thereafter, I came up with the idea to expand it into a project where I make a blanket for everyone in my family.

Eleven blankets later (one of which I don’t have a pic of) I find myself here. I’m going to take a moment to give myself a slight pat on the back, because it’s wild thinking how far I’ve come. I enjoyed every single moment of this project. It’s like every blanket taught me something new.

When I started to post these on other socials, something more wild started to happen - people cared, they liked my work too. So thanks for that, it means a lot, even in small amounts.

But everything has an ending. It’s very bittersweet think that this is it. I don’t every intend on stopping, but to be perfectly honest this is very financially taxing. The ace attorney blanket cost me $200, and most of these were about $70.

This comes with its own question - monetization. It’s something I really struggle with because all of these blankets were labors of love. It was incredibly jarring when some recipients tried to hand me money, it felt like they couldn’t accept it as a gift. While well intentioned, it hurt my feelings a little. I’m not sure how sustainable this hobby will be if I don’t find a way to monetize it.

So blanket comms are open, mainly because I need new blanket ideas lol. I’m currently working on a sailor moon blanket and have something planned for the fnaf movie though.

I would like to take this moment to thank J, K, P, Dad, Mom, IG, R, IB, D, Grandma L, and L. For being so amazing - I love you all.
