Crochet Max

June 25, 2022: My first original amigurumi

A small crocheted bunny, Max, held up against a mountain landscape.

A small crocheted bunny, Max, sitting by a parking sign that reads: 2 Hour Max.

My Dad kindly held him up so I could take a tourist photo! I missed the start of the Sam & Max Renaissance that happened some time in 2021, but these characters totally captivated me recently!! The senseless cartoon violence, witty and/or stupid comedic setups, and surprising amount of heart throughout the series all work to make my brain very happy. Anyway, I decided to try designing my first ever amigurumi since there wasn't much in the way of patterns that I could use for this. I think the simple and varied shapes made for good practice. His face is embroidered on with black thread.

The fingers are individual yarn loops, and I referenced the cartoon for its charming eye style (which comes from how Steve Purcell draws them!). I actually knit 4 i-cords to serve as the limbs. Overall he's a bit inconsistent and clumsy. But I'm happy and so is Max. He likes watching scary shows with me and staring danger in the face. I feel bad for putting him into the world without a Sam, but I'll need more materials and skill before I can attempt to recreate that dog!!

Hoarfrost Hat

May 2022 | Pattern

A large yellow crocheted Among Us crewmate against a black background.

This is the coolest thing I have made in my opinion. This hat turned out so awesome I wear it all the time!

Crochet Among Us

February 2022, pattern via Ami Amour

I adjusted the pattern a bit to make him stumpier and larger. He is the colours of a sponge. 10/10 SO huggable.

A green crocheted dinosaur with blue spikes.

Soft and marketable . . .

Falling Snow Scarf

Fall-Winter 2021: Purl Soho: Falling Snow Scarf

A long, flat, grey knit scarf with a gradient of white stitches at both ends, resembling falling snow.

Started & finished during the Fall 2021 semester. This knit scarf is soft & heavy and I'm so happy with it!! Ended up sewing the ends since they didn't stay flat even after blocking. I dreamed of making this for over a year and finally went for it!!! Working on and finishing this made me even more excited to try fair isle projects. I'm seriously proud of this scarf :D!
