[whimsicaltwine]

made a little guyyyyy. recently finished outer wilds, saw @eringurumi's nomai plush, and then threw myself into making the hatchling because i already had the colors on hand. i'm very happy with how it turned out, and glad i committed to making the bedding and jetpack detatchable

Well I’m now halfway done with the lower border of this project it only took 1 week. We’ll get there one day believe it

The pattern pieces are all from le filet ancien from the antique library, just like the athena and frog filet crochet projects. For this one i lined up the borders of one pattern to match with the saytr pattern and removed the excess

Hey its the Blanketflower, native to Texas!!!! The first of what I hope will be many native plant species projects. It didn't turn out quite right, mainly I think just due to not having a good color match but its still very nice I think :)

The layers, the drama, the implied threat of sponge-on-spinge violence, the inherent eroticism of a freshly scrubbed sink.... you want it? Well folks, we got it!

Hello people!!

A couple days ago i got inspired to crochet a manatee, so i did! And, i have a pattern for you guys too, if you want to make one yourself. I am still working on the skykid pattern, but i'm a bit out of yarn right now so there will still be a while until i can post it.

Anyways, here's the pattern!

Sky: cotl manatee crochet pattern

Yarn colors: white and yellow. You can use any size hook you want, but i used a small 2.5 hook

Body (white)

Start every new row with a chain 1, - indicates new row. The entire project is worked in single crochet.

-Crochet 6 sc into magic circle, tighten the circle

-Inc in every stitch around

-inc in every other stitch around

-do 3 regular sc rows

-5 sc, 1 inc, 2 sc, 2 inc, 2 sc, 1 inc, 5 sc

-do 3 regular sc rows

-6 sc, 1 inc, 1 sc, 1 inc, 1 sc, 2 inc, 1 sc, 1 inc, 1 sc, 1 inc, 6sc

-now you do 12 regular single crochet rows. At this point you can start stuffing

-6 sc, 1 dec, 1 sc, 1 dec, 1 sc, 2 dec, 1 sc, 1 dec, 1 sc, 1 dec, 6 sc

-3 regular single crochet rows

-5 sc, 1 dec, 2 sc, 2 dec, 2 sc, 1 dec, 5 sc

-3 regular single crochet rows

-5 sc, (1 dec, 1 sc) x2, 1 dec, 5 sc

-3 regular single crochet rows

-Decrease in every other stitch around

-Sew the end of the body shut by doing one single crochet through 2 stitches across from eachother, and then chain one, and do one single crochet on top of the securing stitch. Chain one, and break off yarn.

Fins (white)

You will do two of these.

-ch 3, start in the second st from the hook, and do an inc in both stitches (4)

-Ch 1, 4 sc

-Ch 1, 4 sc

-Ch 1, 2 sc, 1 dec

-Ch 1, 1 dec, 1 sc

-Ch 1, 1 dec

Ch 1, break off yarn.

Attatch the fins around the ninth row of the body, one on each side of the head, with the side with decreases facing back. (Hope that makes sense)

Tail piece (yellow)

-Ch 2, and do 4 sc in the first stitch

-Ch 1, 4 sc

-Ch 1, 4 sc

-Ch 1, 2 dec

-Ch 1, 1 dec, ch 1, break off yarn

Attatch to the end of the body (not exactly sure how i did it myself you'll just have to wing it a bit)

Head pattern piece (yellow)

-Ch 2, and do 3 sc in the first stitch

-Ch 1, 1 inc, 1 st, 1 inc

-Ch 1, 1 inc, 3 sc, 1 inc

-Ch 1, 1 inc, 5 sc, 1 inc

-Ch 1, 9 sc

-Ch 1, 1 dec, 5 sc, 1 dec

-Ch 1, 1 dec, 3 sc, 1 dec

-Ch 1, 1 dec, 1 sc, 1 dec

-Ch 1, dec through all 3 stitches left, so that you end up with only one stitch. Ch 1, break off yarn

Head pattern piece (white)

-Ch 2, and do 2 sc in the first stitch

-Ch 1, 2 inc

-Ch 1, 2 dec

-Ch 1, 1 dec, ch 1, break off yarn

Sew the white piece onto the yellow piece, and attatch that to the body. After that you should be done!

This didn't take too long to make, maybe an hour at most. If you're looking for something fun to do for a little while, you can make this! If you make it, please let me know, rb this post with the results or tag me, either way i would love to see how you made it!

crochet pixel stitch

so there may be some of you who remember the pixel tapestry crochet controversy around a certain pillow, but i have come across a stitch that seems to work well for this.

this reddit post has an example and link to a tutorial on the stitch, and i will say, this isn't where i initially found the stitch, i found it a few months ago on pinterest and modified it much like the one in the reddit post, but i still want to try and find a way to make tapestry crochet that does follow the pixels precisely.

now, this stitch is a great little learning spot for how to get the stitches to line up vertically- the issue with single crochet is that the stitches don't align. the stitch above does align vertically, however, it is hard to work, especially in the mirrored/reversed version (working back to front). but what it does show is that it's necessary to work into two stitches to align those stitches vertically. also from experience i can say that this stitch doesn't work if it's not mirrored, so it's likely that other stitches would have to be mirrored as well.

knowing this, we can go about modifying stitches in a couple different ways, and i'm currently trying it out on a small scale with some 8x8 (technically 10x10) designs.

top left: single crochet/traditional tapestry; top right: pixel stitch linked above; bottom: sc dec worked into the previous and next stitch, and also mirrored like the linked stitch

now i think there's a tension issue with my pixel stitch dino since i've worked this stitch before and it's been less gappy but i'm also using a different yarn. i think that the sc dec version is promising, and i really like the texture it creates. i will say that overall i think sc might look the nicest/most uniform, but it has all those same issues mentioned previously.

anyways that's my little ramble, here's the dino if you want to try some stuff or make him for yourself. the biggest takeaways are:

1. sc creates pixel sized stitches so we need a sc height stitch

2. whatever stitch is used has to be worked into the previous and next stitch in order to align properly

and 3. the stitch will likely have to be mirrored (i.e. worked through the back) in order to create that nice pixelated look.
