I was mak­ing this while watch­ing Moon­rise King­dom. Kind of goes with the feel of the movie, I think :)

I fol­lowed this pat­tern for the round base, but made up my own mush­room. The cap is a cup shape fold­ed in half, and the stem is 2 rows of slip stitch­es. The whites spots are made of french knots, and the grass is embroidered.

Sewed a pin back on.

It’s almost Fri­day! Hope you have a good week­end with a spir­it-nour­ish­ing dose of creating :)

Prob­a­bly nice for fall or win­ter too :D And with this cool sum­mer weath­er we are hav­ing, I was actu­al­ly wear­ing it the evening I fin­ished sewing it all together.

Real­ly like those raglan shirts/sweaters with con­trast­ing lace sleeves that I’ve been see­ing on peo­ple late­ly. Have a lot of white yarn left after mak­ing this shawl, so I thought I’d try mak­ing some­thing up.

Here’s a clos­er look at it :)

I drew kind of a stitch dia­gram as I went along, but not sure if I’m capa­ble to trans­lat­ing it into words… will def­i­nite­ly share if I do come up with a pattern.

Hope you have a good weekend!

“All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pix­ie dust.”
― J.M. Bar­rie, Peter Pan

Exper­i­ment­ing with Peter Pan col­lars. Made this one fol­low­ing this pat­tern (though skip­ping a few rounds in the mid­dle) with thread and a 2.5mm hook. Found a very nice glit­tery but­ton to go with it, glit­tery like pix­ie dust.

It’s a great improve­ment to my plain black sweater dress!

Wish­ing you a good rest of the week!

Meet Moshi! The pock­et-sized and slight­ly elon­gat­ed cousin of Yoshi.

He was made for a swap :D request­ed by my very tal­ent­ed swap part­ner, who made a very sweet gift for my friend. (But I can’t show you the gift yet because I haven’t yet giv­en it to my friend)

Here’s a clos­er look at him :D he’s made free-form cro­chet style.

Like I said, he turned out slight­ly elon­gat­ed com­pared to Yoshi, and his back­side look a bit strange… but he does have his spikes, and sad­dle, and orange boots with yel­low soles.

Wish­ing you a won­der­ful weekend!

Made this shawl for a semi-for­mal event I was attend­ing, fol­low­ing this pat­tern. The sym­met­ri­cal fan pat­tern reminds me of a moth. A moth the colour of moonlight.

Here’s how it looks on the front, and the beau­ti­ful Win­ter Gar­den The­ater where the event was held. Its ceil­ing dec­o­rat­ed with dried beech leaves and lanterns, and the walls paint­ed in water­colour… so magical…

Now mov­ing on to four projects to be done before Sep­tem­ber! So grate­ful for the time to cro­chet :D

Wish­ing you a love­ly Wednesday!
