Because I never log out of this account and I mean to keep my crochet blog more professional, I created another stupid blog:

Eventually, I’ll probably feel bad and go use my other one. Meeeeeeh. I’m lazy and this isn’t meant to be serious.
Follow at your own risk, I’ll talk a lot about writing, post other people’s awesome crochet work, post drawings, post about fandoms like Spiral Bonds of Reasoning and White Collar, and post dirty minded things.
I just want to say thank you to Crimson Chimera for their support and willingness to sell my things at their table, and to say thank you to all the lovely people at AnimeCentral this weekend who had nice things to say and/or bought my amigurumi. Thank you so much, you’re amazing.
My bunnies sold out at the convention. o.o
I’m just going to sit here stunned at the amount of stuff that sold and feel liberated that I will now have money for buying more cat litter, cat food, and yarn.
10 Ways To Join Granny Squares
Joining Granny Square tutorials via Knot Your Nana’s Crochet.
Oh gosh, this is going to be so helpful for me in the future. :D
Anime Central is this weekend, May 17-19! So please come check out what I’ve made, along with the others at Crimson Chimera who are awesome enough to share their table with me. C:
This starts TOMORROW! x3 I’m very excited!
I can’t read anything on the site, but I referenced the pictures from this to make it:

Obviously, I made some alterations and whatnot. xD Anyway. Made this for a friend.

Crimson Chimera at AnimeCentral 2013
Greetings everyone! In less than two weeks, Crimson Chimera will be at AnimeCentral in Rosemont, IL. We hope that you’ll come visit us at Table 70 in the Artists Alley.
What we’ll have…
Wa-loli
Rikka’s hand-designed wa-loli outfits have been revamped to better fit a variety of both SD and MSD sized dolls. New for this year, we now carry the outfits in YoSD size. Many colors of all will be available for immediate purchase. Also new, we’ve started making sleeveless, more streamlined versions for boy dolls. You can get the fullset with matching bottoms or just the tops or even mix and match colors.
Knitted Dresses
Kijin has been hitting the needles hard and has four different styles of dresses for you to choose from. Some are already pre-made and available for purchase at the table. Custom orders will also be taken at the convention. See below for further information about custom orders.
Knitted Hats and Scarves
They’re back again! Kijin will have all kinds of colors to choose from in SD, MSD and Yo size.
MCalhen Creations Amigurumi
They’re back and as adorable as ever! Stop by the table to snuggle some of these adorable little crochet plushies. There are more than just the tiny, doll-sized octopods to choose from! Cal now has all kinds of critters and new additions in a steampunk design. Pick up a cute little gift for your doll…or take one home for yourself!
Faceups, Mods and Aesthetics
Our studio artist, Sylvyr, will have open faceup/aesthetic slots available at the con. While she does work on ACen staff, she’ll be available in the afternoons on Friday and Saturday for ideas and commission work. Unfortunately, because of the enclosed space of the show, she can’t do any work at-con, but would be more than happy to work on your dolls after. Her portfolio, as well as dolls that she’s worked on, will be at the table as well.
Custom Orders
As we always do, custom orders for clothing items will be taken at-con. Come see the portfolio for ideas or bring your designs with you. Any custom commissions for clothing items taken at AnimeCentral will receive free shipping out to you when it’s completed after the show.
Hope to see you there!
Please feel free to reblog and share the word about our table! We love to meet other dolly owners and chat, so come on by. If you have anything you’d like to talk to us about before the con, don’t hesitate to drop a message in the ask box, and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
See you soon!
~Rikka, Sylvyr, Kijin and Cal
Reblogging this to say that AnimeCentral is this weekend (May 17-19). x3 And also, will be reblogging my other entry as well, since it shows a lot of what I’m offering personally - not just octos. C: But I didn’t want to reblog that one and not this one, since - as you can see - there are other talents to be viewed. x3
I don’t know what to tell you. Patience and good lighting. It’s the most annoying part of creating motif blankets of any sort.
Haha, agreed! Maybe I lack patience or something, and lighting is an issue in my house. It’s definitely exasperating work because of all the color switches and putting the squares together. xD Thanks!
Because everyone is better at granny squares than me…
EVERYONE IS. How do you weave in the 5,000+ ends? I want to make squares all the time, but I suck at dealing with that many ends, they inevitably come slipping out like sneaky snakes? I know I fail, but…any tips?
Spiral - Robertson
Does anyone have any good pictures of anime Robertson from Spiral? The manga doesn’t show him very well, and he doesn’t look quite the same. I need a ref pic I can pull up on my kindle while I’m crocheting, since I can’t take my computer down. (Or something really clear that I can sketch as a reference for when I crochet him, and my screenshots usually suck because my timing does.)
THE HAPPINESS OF THOSE WHO BELIEVE
Lin, I will totally get you a pattern sometime AFTER I perfect this. Also, I have to get dark green, that light green was all I had aside from bright lime green, which would have been more awful than what I used. But uh. UM. This was my first attempt at an iris. I was hoping the variegated yarn would give it sort of that…streaked effect?
I’ll try another iris later.
Why yes, I really love Spiral. Sorry Ayumu, I blocked half your FACE
Robertson will be next, I think I actually have all the right materials to make him. xD And he ought to be easy.
Spiral Amigurumi
As in, Spiral: Bonds of Reasoning
I’m going to crochet:
- Purple Irises
- Kiyotaka dressed in various outfits.
- Robertson! aka Kousuke’s CHICK
- Something that looks like Rio’s plushie bomb…without the bomb
- Hizumi’s cap
- Himalayan kitten
And people not in this fandom are wondering wtf I’m up to. Hey, if they weren’t awkward to try to shape, I’d make a crocheted music box and a piano. And guns. Lots of guns.
Also, maybe little amigurumi dolls of the characters are in the future…? Maybe my 2014-2015 projects?
