Watch me Crochet: Assassin’s Creed

This past week a new Assassin’s Creed game was announced. I’m a pretty decent fan of the franchise, so I figured why not add Altair, from the first Assassin’s Creed game, to the group of pod people! And while I’m at it, why not make a video!

And even further, why not do another Pokemon giveaway!! So thats what I did, a new Watch me Crochet episode, new character added to the Etsy, and a giveaway!

All you have to do to win a free Pokeball is go to Instagram or the Assassin’s Creed video and comment leaving your guess at who this Pokemon is!

How to crochet: “Splitting”


Hey guys, so I’ve been using this technique for a while while crocheting that I call “splitting” where I split a row in half. Not sure what it’s really called, but figured that was a pretty decent name for it.

I use it in my amigurumi to make things like hoodies and hat brims, and used it a lot when I made Maleficent here. Anyhow, just thought I’d share it and show you guys how I do that and some things I make with it in a video. I’ll probably be coming out with a whole bunch of amigurumi tutorials pretty soon and going to definitely be posting some longer detailed stuff on my Patreon page here in the not so distant future.

Enjoy!

How to Crochet: a Dragon Applique

I’m a bit behind on posts, so I’m gonna squish two posts into one with this! My roommate and I loooove Game of Thrones. We watch it every Sunday and are in deep love with the characters. So to commemorate the beginning of season 4 which started a few weeks back, I made Daenerys and Jon Snow from the show!!

I even decided to make a Watch me Crochet episode for Daenerys on my YouTube which you can watch right here:

 

They came out soo awesome, and I decided to come out with a free pattern to show how to crochet a tiny dragon too! So here it is. Warning though, it is more of a free form pattern than a written one, so the episodes more of a Crochet along pattern. You’ll get it..

Well I hope you guys liked all of that jazz. I know it’s a lot to take in. If you want to get updated on new stuff quicker make sure to check out my YouTube for videos, and Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter where I post every time there’s something new!
And check back soon in the Etsy shop for the Daenerys and Jon Snow patterns!!
