On occasion I do things that aren't related to yarn... like photoshoots with a friend in their fun cosplay! 📸

How cool is this?!

(This is also when I discovered that there's no cassette tape or boom box emoji. 😭)

Whew. C2C crochet with this many color changes is a real test of patience! lol I am hoping to add a dowel to this to make it a wall hanging as a gift. #crochet #c2c #handmadegift

This also fills the #CrochetAway prompt!

Free pattern (I just made the front panel): www.popsdemilk.com/blog/c2c-cas...
A flat crochet piece that looks like a cassette tape. It has dark gray along the outside. Four + signs, one in each corner, made of a lighter gray. A big white rectangle-ish shape in the middle with two black stripes at the top and the middle circles where the tape would move around. There are also 5 short stripes on either side of the circles top down: lavender, yellow, light green, red, blue. The bottom center of the piece is another light gray shape that is bigger on the bottom than the top.

🍀 GOOD LUCK BEAR 🍀

I think this may be my favorite thing I've ever made with my yarn. 😂 There's just something so delightful about having a crochet Good Luck Bear sitting on my shelf.

I used the Care Bears amigurumi pattern from Pumpi Crochet on Etsy to make my Good Luck Bear.

🤍 LEITH CARDIGAN 🤍

It's been a *hot minute* since I've taken sample photos... so I was very much feeling the "what do I do with my hands?!" 😅 Hence the very goofy first photo. 😂 But it does show off all 4 contrast colors nicely, so I'm not mad about it.

You didn't think I'd do a collection with 22 tonals without making mini sets, right??

🧦 VARIEGATED SOCK SETS 🧦

Creating sock sets for each variegated colorway was so much fun!

I don't usually do variegated for minis, but I *knew* that Spring Toy & Night Light had to be paired together. Especially for Night Light on Neon Tweed Sock! It's just too perfect!

🌈 TONALS ACROSS THE BASES 🌈

There's just something so satisfying in seeing all 22 tonals lined up in rainbow order! 🤩🌈
