It might not be anywhere near cool enough here to need hot chocolate at night to warm up, but it's still hot chocolate season. I drew this a few years ago in Procreate.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 8
A square section of a digitally drawn pattern of dark blue mugs of hot chocolate each with small white marshmallows and light blue travel cups with gray bands and white lids with steam coming from the drinking slot on a dark brown background. There are small groups of three marshmallows scattered around between the mugs and cups.

One of my favorite small things to crochet is semicircular food keychains. I’ve had this taco on my backpack for years.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 7
An upside down crocheted taco keychain in tan yarn with green yarn lettuce and red yarn tomato sticking out from the top of the taco. The keychain is attached to a denim backpack with embroidered Warner Brothers characters. Bugs Bunny, Scooby Doo, and Tweety Bird are visible with an open pocket below them.

Dogs are real fun subjects for trying out different perspectives taking pictures. Like making a long dog look even longer

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 6
A small black dachshund with brown eyebrows and mouth grabs a pink and green alien toy while sideyeing the white woman’s hand that is pulling on it. The framing of the photo makes the dog’s nose look extra large and his body extra long.

Two amigurumi axolotls, the larger from the pattern in Amigurumi Wildlife Adventure by Ilaria Caliri and Irene Strange and the smaller from the no sew axolotl pattern video by Complicated Knots on YouTube.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 5
Two crocheted axolotls, one tiny one in gray yarn stacked on the back of a slightly larger pink one with dark pink fringe on the gills, feet, and legs. They both have black safety eyes and are on a wooden table.

I have moved three times in the 10 minutes I’ve been here because the sun keeps chasing me through the window trying to burn me alive. But at least I got my bucket of coffee and am making progress on this pair of socks.

One of a series of vector illustrations I did last year trying to decide on the color scheme for a pair of shorts that I have at least cut pieces out for by now. Once I unearth my sewing machine from the move, they are the first thing getting finished.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 4
Digital vector illustrations of the front and back of a pair of knee length shorts with drawstring hems, two front pockets with buttoned closing flaps, two side pockets with buttoned flaps, and two back pockets, filled with scans of the intended fabric. The base of the shorts are a dark blue fabric and the pockets, waistband, and drawstrings are a light blue fabric. The front is on a purple rounded rectangle above and to the left of the back of the shorts which are on a green rounded rectangle.

Tank Girl Socks from the pattern by Laura Hohman in the book "Knits for Nerds". Photo is from a few years ago, but the socks still get much use and I'm planning on a second pair.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 3
A pair of hand knit socks with neon purple, green, pink, and blue stripes with black stripes between and black heels and toes on a white woman’s legs stretched out in front of the camera with the left foot resting on a toddler train table in the middle of the floor and the right foot crossed over the left knee. Each colored stripe has a different pattern of black stitches in it.

Ugh, the most annoying part of knitting socks 2 at a time while also doing other things 🧶 (yarn ball emoji)
A pair of striped socks with reversed stripe patterns of dark blue, medium blue, yellow, orange, and red with gray stripes between as a background on a single circular needle sitting on the keyboard of an open black laptop. The sock on the right has two working yarn tails in and near the last worked stitch because the yarn for the left sock was not dropped to pick up the correct yarn for the right sock

This ball of fluff and I have no plans to move from this couch today. You know, except for the 17 walks he will sad eyes guilt me into taking him on.

I have been using this bag consistently for 2 months now and just haven’t remembered to take a picture of it full (and I definitely get this bag FULL) until last night.
A crocheted mesh bag holding groceries sitting on top of a white freezer. The bag has ice cream sandwiches, tiny yogurts, frozen pizzas, veggies, burritos, and a vegan quiche, a loaf of bread and a bottle of vegetable oil in it The bag folded into its orange pumpkin shape closed with a green leaf and loop that goes around a small orange button in the center of the pumpkin

Moving while also working pretty near continually is exhausting, but I’m making socks. In fact, took a whole morning to walk to do a little bit of errand shopping and made great progress on my socks. I only cast them on last night after finishing the previous pair

#Knitting 🧶 (yarn ball emoji)
A pair of sock toes being worked 2 at a time on the same purple circular needle on a navy zippered box balanced on the arm of a couch. The socks are being worked from different ends of the ball of yarn and thus have reversed stripe patterns from each other of navy, medium blue, yellow, and red with a light gray stripe between each as a background color

I’m in the middle of trying to move within the next week, so I’m putting a hold on any physical items for sale in my Ko-Fi shop, but digital downloads are always open:

ko-fi.com/caseykayb/shop
A screenshot of the mobile version of my Ko-Fi shop page featuring 4 pdf cross stitch patterns with a small circular picture of me (a white woman with brown hair wearing a pink and blue crocheted beanie and a black and white striped top) in the top right corner above my display name (Casey Kay B) and the url (ko-fi.com/caseykayb). Clockwise from top left, the patterns are a black and white monarch butterfly; a photo realistic tri-colored rose; two cartoon hands held together in the red outline of a heart shape; and two version in one pdf or diagonal rows of hearts, each row in a different color of the rainbow, one pattern in a square shape and one in a circle)

I know the texture gets lost in these colors, but I still really like the results

#Knitting 🧶(yarn ball emoji)
A knit cowl on the needles with the ball of yarn above it on a dark wooden table. The yarn is variegated in deep rainbow colors (minus indigo and violet) and the cowl is textured with alternating stitches, though it’s very difficult to see. The yarn has its gray band visible that says “Patons Canadiana”

I just grabbed these colors kind of randomly, but they are looking really good together.

I’ve been wanting to start this since I bought the pattern when it was released, so I spent a chunk of this afternoon making @ansitru.bsky.social ‘s Pumpkin Market Bag.

WIP Wednesday: all crochet edition! The striped one is eventually getting sewn into a hat, and the white and gray one is a c2c scarf in a bit of an ombre.

Got a tooth ripped out of my jaw this morning, so I’m taking the oral surgeon’s suggestion to spend the afternoon working on these scarves. I mean, he really just said, “Take it easy for the rest of the day.” But that’s totally the same thing.

Back to school means back to waiting around during sports lessons/practices. Got a good chunk of this hat crocheted last night in the light of the parking lot. 🧶 (yarn ball emoji)

I didn't cake this yarn up very well before starting these socks, so yesterday I needed to untangle and reroll it after working on it walking around running errands yesterday. My bean friend made 10 socks while I did it so I would pick up my phone when I got bored. #Knitting 🧶 (yarn ball emoji)
A pair of striped knit socks in progress with a pile of yarn next to it and a phone in a yellow case with the Focus Friend app open and the bean facing away knitting all on a desk in front of an open black laptop. The socks and yarn have varying stripes of yellow, green, pink, white, blue, and purple.
