Took some gray yarn that’s been sitting on my shelf for a year (😅) + leftover face mask fabric (early pandemic days)

I turned it into this cute messenger bag. Omg. I love it. Yaaaas! ❤️❤️ #crochet #gayswhocrochet

I couldn’t afford a Labubu, so I crocheted one out of dollar store yarn and scraps. 🧶
The ears and eyes aren’t straight… but neither am I. Yaaas! Get it Labubu! 🌈😂 #crochet #labubus

I crocheted a Jason Voorhees as a graduation present for my nephew.
He loves with Friday the 13th. The angry face made me LOL. 🤣🤣🤣This was fun to make. 🧶❤️ #crochet #amigurumi #graduation

I made these crochet catnip blunts for a friend a while back—they were a hit with her cats! 😹 I might make more? Who wants one? #crochet #cattoys #amigurumi #cats

Remember when Republicans claimed people were erasing history?

Here is a way to help stop them from doing their own whitewashing.

Yaaas!
My fave crochet project to date: Selena! 💜
Her hair? All yarn. Strand by strand. It nearly ended me 😅
But she’s serving Como La Flor realness.
Who should I crochet next?

This was the very first amigurumi I ever made. To this day I still LOVE Divine. I didn’t have stuffing, so I used old grocery bags (Divine would’ve approved of the trash glamour tbh).

Thinking about starting a whole series of queer icons in yarn…
Who should I make next?
