Hello, I’m Robbie! I’m based in Albany, NY, and I make a point of getting all my yarn and crafting materials second-hand. No new materials needed - the world already has enough. 💚 Shop at www.craftcycled.com

Working on a custom bracelet order and I already fucked up. (It's not centered. 🤦) So, now I need to save this blank by turning it into something funny about diarrhea. Help me choose!

How did it only -just- occur to me that Easter is literally the day after my first vendor opportunity?! Anyway, I have a skein of this distinctly Easter-y yarn that I got at a craft swap, so I'm thinking of crocheting a small horde of mini bunny baskets. Y/N, what do we think?

I'm opening up applications for my next crochet pattern test! 🧶 It's a color-customizable poop bag dispenser to match your pup and help brighten your 💩-y day.

No pattern testing experience necessary! Details here: www.craftcycled.com/pattern-test...

Did you know you can make cute recycled material gift boxes out of your old greeting cards? I'm scrounging up packaging in preparation for my first market and my aunt dropped this idea on me! Cute, right?

Behold, the teeniest of tinies. For when you only want to rage against the machine a little bit.

Pattern release tomorrow! #crochet

I fear you may be looking at another failed experiment. Going as fast as I possibly can, I can't crochet these in less than an hour. That means I would have to charge $22 a piece to make it worth my time. It's terrifying that you can get handmade hacky sacks for only a few bucks in stores. 😞

Business cards are almost always future garbage, but I find myself needing stuff to hand out, so I made some stickers instead. Admittedly not made of reclaimed materials, but still thrifty (courtesy of USPS 🤪).

Bit the bullet and completed my "Desert Owl" decorative frames. I made a couple tweaks, and I'm liking them a lot better now. 👍

Been terrible about keeping up with posting lately, but I've been building up a small collection of various beaded items! Here's a few of the pride daisy chain bracelets I've made. 🌼 #lgbtqartist

Do you think I should scrap it or finish it? I'm kinda leaning towards starting over but I need a second opinion from someone who hasn't been staring at it for hours. 😅 #wip #beadwork #wirewrapping

I successfully used every single one of the letter beads in my stash in what felt like the most unhinged game of solo bananagrams. Liberties were definitely taken. #kandi #lgbtqartist #queer

Been organizing my bead stash and I have this modest collection of pony beads. Do you think I can use them all up today if I hyperfocus hard enough?

Attn hivemind: I've started writing up a pattern for these guys and they need a name. Marvin? Max? Michaela? Gimmie your ideas for Mini Molotov monikers. #crochet 🧶

It's been one month of Craftcycled crocheting with 💯 upcycled materials! Don't let the bastards get you down. 🏳️‍⚧️💖🧶 #handmade #lgbtqartist #albanyny

These mittens are part of a mini gift economy exchange involving 3 parties! They're all crocheted using wool or alpaca blends to keep their kids' fingers nice & toasty. I wish it was possible to survive by just doing these types of trades. It would be a kinder world. 🧶

Trying to business while dealing with the emotional morass of current events is a wild effing ride! But hey, just gotta keep moving and apply for my very first market. Thank you @abiggaymarket.bsky.social for continuing to put in the work to create these spaces, it means so much. 💜

I finished pattern testing & my 1st crochet pattern is now available in my shop! The idea of recruiting internet strangers was intimidating, but everyone had really thoughtful feedback, & it made me excited for my next pattern! TYSM to all my pattern testers, including @heartboppers.bsky.social! 💚🐞🧶

Silver bookmarks are now restocked! Thank you to everyone who bought one already and made me hit "sold out" status within a few days! 🤍🤍🤍
