My Crafting Journey: Projects, Successes, and Future Endeavors
Crafty Madurai Girl Shares Her Creative Adventures
Welcome back, crafty enthusiasts! Today, I want to take you through my recent crafting endeavors, share my successes, and give a sneak peek of what's to come. So grab your yarn and let's dive in!
My Current Projects
First Whip: My Self-Made Socks
One of my recent projects is a pair of hand-knit socks. I've always admired matching socks, so I challenged myself to create a pair that I would actually wear together. The vibrant red variegated yarn I found at Michaels caught my eye, and I couldn't resist. The yarn is incredibly soft, and I'm confident these socks will fit perfectly. I'm thrilled to have completed one sock already and can't wait to finish the second one.
Second Whip: Basic Abdomen Dress
Another project on my hook is a basic abdomen dress. While it may seem like a simple piece, I wanted to show it to you because I adore its shape. I've added some unique touches, such as Longhorn buttons and striped ties, to give it a personalized touch. I'm currently in the dressmaking phase and plan to showcase the finished product in the next episode. Stay tuned!
Finished Objects: Socks, Letter Face, and Number 9
Last week was a productive one for me as I completed several projects. Firstly, I finished both pairs of socks I had been working on in my previous episode. Despite my initial assumptions, the looser sock ended up fitting better. I couldn't resist wearing it to a show I attended. Yes, I may be guilty of finishing and wearing it immediately, but hey, that's just how I roll!
I also mentioned my endeavors with Letter Face, a unique crochet creation. I must say, I'm quite pleased with the proportions and overall look of the design. It was challenging to create the chainsaw, but I believe I nailed it. What are your thoughts?
Lastly, I tried my hand at creating my version of Number 9, incorporating a little spicy flair with a cute little finger. However, it didn't quite match my expectations, so I added the number on the back as well. This piece will be leaving soon, and I wanted to showcase it in this episode.
Etsy Success: Lucy from Disenchantment
Exciting news – I made my first Etsy sale ever! I'm truly over the moon about it. The item that sold was a crochet Lucy from Disenchantment. It's not just the first Etsy sale I made, but also the first international sale sending a piece from Canada to California. It has given me the confidence to continue growing my Etsy shop, "Crafty Madurai Girl." Cheers to more sales in the future!
Chibi Versions
Moving on to my chibi creations. I couldn't help but bring a smile to my friend's face by making chibi versions of them. These adorable characters have been on my friend's wishlist for quite some time. Although I won't be taking special requests for these chibis, I do plan on making more and listing them in my Etsy shop. So, if you're interested, be sure to grab them before they're gone!
Craft Fair Announcement
I'm thrilled to announce that I will be participating in a craft fair on December 8th in Montreal's West Island. If you're in the area or nearby, do drop by and say hello! I would be delighted to meet fellow crafters and showcase my unique creations. It's going to be a memorable event, and your support would mean the world to me.
Upcoming Projects
Now let's talk about what's on my crafting agenda for the upcoming weeks.
Witchy Finishing Touches
I have a few finishing touches left to complete on my witch-themed projects. Once these are done, I'll be sure to share them in the next episode. It's exciting to see all the intricate details come together, and I can't wait to show you the final results.
Shark, Dolphin, and Dinosaur Creations
In addition to the witchy projects, I have a shark, dolphin, and dinosaur amigurumi in the works. It's always thrilling to venture into different animal designs and explore new patterns. Rest assured, I'll be diligently working on these pieces and hope to have them finished by Wednesday.
Marin Medicine
Lastly, I plan on trying my hand at making Marin Medicine. It's a pattern that has caught my attention, and I can't wait to put my own spin on it. I'll be sure to document the process and share the final outcome with you all. Stay tuned for some medicinal crochet magic!
Yarn Haul from Michael
Before we wrap up this episode, let's discuss my recent yarn haul from Michaels. While shopping for yarn to make the amigurumi pattern, I stumbled upon some irresistible deals. Needless to say, I couldn't resist adding a few more skeins to my collection.
One yarn that caught my eye was the impeccable yarn in a beautiful purple and blue colorway. I also couldn't resist the rainbow variegated yarn and the vibrant pixie bloom yarn. These colorful and speckled yarns have always captivated my imagination, and I can already envision crafting some stunning socks with them.
