Crocheting a kiwi!

 Hello all!

I'm currently working on a large kiwi bird in cotton. I'm using a tan/beige color for the beak and feet, and three different browns for the body. Maybe three different browns is a bit much, but I really want to add some highlight while not making it very colorful. I've used 14mm sparkle eyes here as well!

I can't wait to see it all done, I've been debating on whether I want to make a kiwi slice for the bottom, or if I'm going to make just the bird. I think my sense of humor sometimes runs away with me!





I've also made this super cute dolphin out of Bernat Blanket yarn, this is a paid pattern by crochetbykittengrll and it turned out quite large in the blanket yarn! There's a quick video on my FB page if you want to see more details.


I do think that these big projects are nice to have to draw attention to a market table, however items that are $20 and less always have a better chance at selling, simply because more people can afford them. However, I absolutely love getting to make some bigger items because I find it gives me more of a chance to add personality and make them stand out. 

All of my socials are in my Linktr.ee including Pinterest where I share a bunch of patterns I'm interested in!

Cute Cottagecore Crochet Pattern Roundup #2

 Pattern Roundup #2 I have a special love for cottagecore, gardening, and herbs.. and it feels so rewarding to combine my crochet interests with a cottage aesthetic. Here are fun cottagecore themed crochet patterns from Etsy! Wearables 1.  This is a beautiful Fern Scarf to drape around your shoulders as you inspire both fear and awe in your neighborhood 2.  The fairytale bonnet really looks like something you'd put on to enjoy a walk in the woods looking for fairy rings. This maker is one of my favorites. 3.  This sweet bucket hat style mushroom cap is so dreamy with that little bit of whimsical "ribboning effect" that reminds me of mushroom gills. Use caution, though, as the pattern maker is restricting this to personal usage.  4.   the Elwyn Hood looks cute and cozy, but also like you might be an herbal witch living in a cave. It has all the vibes.  5.   The Foxglove bucket hat is another one from The Entangled Fae, and I just find...

These are cute patterns that I find inspiration-worthy from Etsy, that will feel at home with cottagecore outfits. Some of these designers may have ravelry stores but I'll be linking to the Etsy pattern.   1.  Vendulka creates absolutely beautiful, colorful creations and is sweet enough to share her designs all the way from Czechia. Her Etsy Store contains more than bags, though!  2.  EarthTricks has a way of blending colors and textures that I've admired for a long time.
