Hello Tumblr oomfs do you guys like the crochet clown I made

I only started crocheting 3 months ago so if you see any mistakes no you did not…I am not a pro at all

✨Pattern now live!✨

Thank you all so much for the enthusiasm for this project!! So many people asked if there was a pattern, so I got to work. The pattern is now complete and available for purchase :D

Etsy: £5 (to compensate for fees)

Before:

After:

Emotional Support Chickens: Gift Edition

5/5 completed

Made entirely with stash yarn

I didn't name them, since they're gifts, but in my head I call them Rustic, The Australorp, Blue Period, The Pigeon, and Purple.

They're pretty uniform and they all sit up on their own (Harold, my first attempt, does not).

Huzzah :)

You know at first I didn't believe it when fiber artists on tumblr would tell me to be wary of the fiber art slippery slope. And yet. I hear the siren call of the spindle. Fellow crafters help me resist. Tie me to the fucking mast. Please.

At the clinic I work at my boss sent a woman out looking for me. She then shows me a hat she made from Great Pyrenees fur. Turns out she spun the fur into yarn and crocheted the hat herself. I mentioned I crochet and that’s probably why my boss sent her to me, and that I was interested in making my own yarn which she then said she’d teach me and gave me her number. I’ve yet to call her cuz I’m that person but so cool she offered.

I knitted a psychedelic rat for a friend 🐀

I'd like to introduce to everyone this horrid thing I created about a year ago but haven't shown many people yet (probably for the best).

This is Baby. AKA The Monster. AKA Sight Tremendous and Abhorred, AKA Vile Insect, AKA A Thing Such As Even Dante Could Not Have Conceived, etc, etc. It's made from bits of scrap fabric I scrounged from various sources and is roughly the size of a human toddler. Its design is based on Mary Shelly's original descriptions of Frankenstein's creature.

But that's not all! Behold!

You can dissect this little abomination to reveal a full set of crocheted, knitted, and scrap fabric organs, all hand-stitched by yours truly!

It has a heart, stomach, lungs, liver, small and large intestine, kidneys, bladder, and, of course, a brain! So it can ponder the horrors of its own existence!

I used this pattern by Less Than Three for the heart. I ended up felting it because I screwed up most of the stitches (I was relatively new to crochet at the time). The result was a bit of a blobby mess, but oh well.

So yeah. This thing lives in my house now (my family hates it). I have yet to reap the full consequences of my hubris.
