Sup humans

So again this is another birthday gift for a friend. [sigh, all the birthday gifts are so over  due ;-;]  Anyway she loves League of Legends and asked if I could make a poro for her. I't so cuuuttteee. I kinda wanted to keep it for myself ^~^ This was a really cool project to work on because I got to use my fluffy yarn! It's so soft and was the perfect thing for this, but the only downside is that it tends to get dirty easily.....but you can always hand wash it.

Sup humans,

Sorry it's been a while since the last post... I've been really busy with school work these days...

Anyway, my friend asked me to make her a purple monkey [she has always liked purple monkeys] She also has a purple monkey phone case which looks like this:

Image from polyvore.com

This case is like really squishy and rubbery and protected her phone well. She dropped it down the elevator crack [20 floors] and it's unscratched! The only damage is that her home button doesn't work. XD

Panda Beanie Success?

Sup humans,
So A friend asked me to make her a panda beanie, and since I have never made a beanie I went searching for a pattern. I stumbled across this one by Little Yarn Friends. In the end I modified this pattern a bit because it just wasn't working for me. I had to start this project 3 times due to some errors from me as well as the pattern.

1. I used half the ply, so of course the hat seemed too small. However I didn't want to waste my supplies so I just used 2 strands of the 4ply for take 2.

2. I used the 5.0mm hook with the 8ply acrylic yarn but still the beanie seemed too small and way too tight...

So I modified the pattern to this:

Panda Beanie:

White Yarn, 6.0mm hook.

R1: MR, Ch 2, 9 dc in MR, join to first dc, ch 2. (9)

R2: 2 dc in each dc around, join to first dc, ch 2. (18)

R3: [2 dc in first stitch, dc 1], repeat around, join, ch 2. (27)

R4: [2 dc in first stitch, dc 2], repeat around, join, ch 2. (36)

R5: [2 dc in first stitch, dc 3], repeat around, join, ch 2. (45)

R6: [2 dc in first stitch, dc 4], repeat around, join, ch 2. (54)

R7: dc around, join, ch 2. (54)

R8: [2 dc in first stitch, dc 8], repeat around, join, ch 2. (60)

R9: [2 dc in first stitch, dc 9], repeat around, join, ch 2. (66)

R10: [2 dc in first stitch, dc 10], repeat around, join, ch 2. (72)

R11-13: dc around, join, ch 2. (72)

Begin with first earflap, do not finish off.

1st Earflap:

White Yarn, 6.0mm Hook.

Row 1: Chain 1, sc in next 12, chain 1 and turn. (12)

Row 2: dec 1, sc 8, dec 1, chain 1 and turn. (10)

Row 3-4: sc across, ch 1 and turn. (10)

Row 5: dec 1, sc 6, dec 1, chain 1 and turn. (8)

Row 6: sc across, ch 1 and turn. (8)

Row 7: dec 1, sc 4, dec 1, chain 1 and turn. (6)

Row 8: sc across, ch1 and turn. (6)

Row 9: dec 1, sc 2, dec 1, chain 1 and turn. (4)

Row 10: sc across, ch 1 and turn. (4)

Row 11: dec 2, chain 1 and turn. (2)

Row 12: dec 1. (1) Finish off.

2nd Earflap:

White Yarn, 6.0mm Hook.

Leave 26 stitches between 1st and 2nd earflaps.

Row 1: Chain 1, sc in next 12, chain 1 and turn. (12)

Row 2: dec 1, sc 8, dec 1, chain 1 and turn. (10)

Row 3-4: sc across, ch 1 and turn. (10)

Row 5: dec 1, sc 6, dec 1, chain 1 and turn. (8)

Row 6: sc across, ch 1 and turn. (8)

Row 7: dec 1, sc 4, dec 1, chain 1 and turn. (6)

Row 8: sc across, ch1 and turn. (6)

Row 9: dec 1, sc 2, dec 1, chain 1 and turn. (4)

Row 10: sc across, ch 1 and turn. (4)

Row 11: dec 2, chain 1 and turn. (2)

Row 12: dec 1. (1) Finish off.

With White Yarn, sc around hat and earflaps, finish off and weave in the ends.

Braided Tails:

Cut 9 (90cm) strands of White Yarn and 9 (90cm) strands of Black Yarn, separate them into 9 strands for each sides respectively (one side with 4 strands of white yarn, 5 strands of black yarn and the other side with 5 strands of white yarn and 4 strands of black yarn). Pass through last space on earflap. You should now have 18 strands to braid with. Make a knot and braid to desired length, knot again and trim the ends.

Panda Ears: (make 2)

Black Yarn, 6.0mm hook.

R1: MR, Ch 2, 8 dc in MR, join to first dc, ch 2. (8)

R2: 2 dc in each dc around, join to first dc, ch 2. (16)

R3: [2 dc in first stitch, dc 1], repeat around, join, ch 2. (24)

R4: dc around. (24)

Finish off.

I didn't add the facial features because first of all I was short for time also, personally, I think it looks better. XD

Not allowed to put my face on the internet, so I had to make do...

Hope this helps. XD

Bulbasaur XD

Sup humans,

Yus! I finished the bulbasaur! XD

Doing the bulb was my favourite part. I had a little trouble with the eyes, I just can't seem to fit them into the crocheted shapes nicely.

Anyway,...

Hope this finds you well.
