Hitting it hard right here with a BUNCH of new stuff including a few new patterns, tutorials, Watch me Crochet and even a Giveaway, all Pokémon related!!

So to start, check out this Watch me Crochet for Ash Ketchum and be sure to check out the free giveaway I’m doing for one of these Pokéballs!

Okay so here’s the thing, I’m giving away three of these Pokéballs (which are also available for sale in the Etsy store for only $5!). How you can win one of these is simply guess what Pokémon this guy is!

I made him a few weeks back for a custom order and figured it would be a fun little game for you guys. If you guys like it I’ll be happy to continue this trend and make some more Pokémon.

To guess simply go to the YouTube video here, Instagram post, Twitter post, or Facebook post and say who you think the Pokémon is in a comment!! I’ll choose three correct answers next week to send some Pokeballs to!

So that’s not all, if you know how to crochet, you can learn how to make one of these Pokéballs with this free pattern I did a video of last week!

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!!
