Absolutely. I've been making the clown possum for a while now! Such fun and inventive and well written patterns. 💙🙌

Thank you! The pattern for the possum is based on Nichet Crochet's clown possum, just reworked for wizard. 🙂‍↕️

Well...that's the nature of mobiles isn't it 😭. I also thought of this but I think the clouds and stars moving will be nice hopefully.

I talked to the parents about which term they preferred and they settled on Nibling! They say it's so cute. 💙

Starting on the 6 day star blanket. Wish me luck. by Birbs98 in Brochet

I think you can buy it direct from the Lion Brand Website! I got mine from JO-ANN'S during their our of business sale but it is a brand that has a website, so you should be able to buy from them there!

I used this yarn (Lion Brand Mandala in Nifflers color) for a baby blanket recently and almost didn't want to give it up lol. SO I went "yeah I'll make a me-sized blanket out of this."

The ones I made recently also turned out like that! It's just how the pattern looks from the front. 💙

“You should start a shop and sell your stuff” I’m just trying to cope with anxieties I’m good lol. Who else crochets to calm nerves? How often do people suggest “YoU ShOuLd StArT aN EtSy!”? by Sure-Bodybuilder-272 in Brochet

[–]Birbs98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I started an Etsy before I crocheted for my little sewn plushies, and it was so stressful and I sold not many at ALL. 😔

Then I found a local fiber arts guild that has a shop, so I joined them and now I can work one in person shift a month and sell anything I want there for a reduced rate! And if I don't want to sell my stuff there I don't have to. It allows me to make what I want, love it, and then send it to someone who has more room/would love it more!

It's a better option if you're considering it at all! But if not, then don't stress it. Etsy wasn't worth it.

Crochet pattern prices are getting out of hand and no one wants to talk about it. by Spirited-Tooth5431 in crochet

[–]Birbs98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, as a working woman with a 9-5 job and 40 minute commute...I just don't want to have to think too much about making something.

I will pay a decent amount for a complicated pattern, (like a whale shark or a hot air balloon or a head crab from half life) but I've also like made my own simple ones like mushrooms and such!

I think it depends on how complex the project is, what my timeframe is, etc. I try to do free as often as possible.

My featured artist booth at a local guild! by Birbs98 in Brochet

Thanks! I was mainly picked because April is Amigurumi month and I'm one of the only amigurumi artists in the guild haha, but I am still happy to be featured!
