Welp, back at it again with another Futurama post! I have mentioned in previous posts that Futurama is my favorite show. Roberto is one of my favorite side characters and "Insane in the Mainframe" is one of my favorite episodes too. I love the funny one liners and the fact that he robs the same bank three times. I had the idea to make Roberto for a while and had a pretty clear vision of how I would make him. A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into this (literally, cut my hand open and had to get two stitches.) He made his appearance at Denver Pop Culture Con 2019 and was surprisingly a big hit! I wasn't sure of how he would be received since he is primarily in one episode that aired almost 20 years ago but I had never been stopped so much for pictures and sometimes would have swarms of people around me. Anyway, this is a rough idea of how I made him. I tried to take as many progress photos as possible. </div>

It all started with cardboard! I found a big piece of cardboard in the local recycling bin and since I work in grocery stores I was able to find a couple of cardboard boxes that I would use for the body. I decided to just start making him and adjusted things as I went on. </div>

I cut out a rough shape for his face and started to build off of there. I took long strips of cardboard and hot glued them around the face shape. Cut out where the mouth piece would go. I realized that I didn't bend the front part out enough and had to adjust from there. </div>

I glued the bottom piece on to wrap around the front for the chin detail. I had to fill in where the front bendy piece meets the mouth and the bottom chin part meets the mouth with small pieces of cardboard since I didn't originally account for those pieces. I used the same plastic canvas that I used for Leela's eye for his mouth so that I could see out of it. </div>

The thing I struggled with the most for the head was trying to keep it stable on my head. I found just putting my hair into a ponytail and the back piece I built into the body helped keep it on. It gets a little uncomfortable after a full day of wearing it but it is not that bad. Once I got the head where I wanted it and after a lot of adjusting I glued the whole thing to another big piece of cardboard and cut out around the head to close off the back. I cut out where I wanted the eyes to be so that I could start paper mache-ing it. (I also paper mached the body at this point too) I think the paper mache was my favorite part. I used the flour/water method but I think in the future I will use wood glue because the flour does chip off chunks once it is dry. </div>

Once the paper mache was dry I primed the head with a few layers of gesso. I pulled the plastic canvas piece out too so I didn't get paint on it. </div>

Finding the perfect color for Roberto ended up being a lot more difficult than I thought. In my mind I always thought he was a reddish color but he is more of a burnt orange color. I found the perfect color for him at Michael's and bought 4 tubes of it to make sure I had enough. I think it took 3-4 coats of paint to get a nice even coating. </div>

Once he was painted I added the plastic canvas back in. I used felt to add the mouth detail and hot glued it on. I used black poster board for his eyes. I cut out holes so that I could add lights. The poster board ended up being a little more difficult to get in place but I just hot glued it in and hoped for the best. I used yellow construction paper to cover the holes that I cut in the poster board. I cut out circles and cut off a piece so he looks more menacing. I cut out black squares for his pupils and glued them on to the yellow eyes and glued the eyes to the poster board. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the body I used one big cardboard box and cut out arm holes and a head hole. I cut out the front part a little bit so it looks like my head is sticking out of it since I do not have the same proportions of a robot. I added a half dome shape to the back of the box to match Roberto's. This also helped keep the head stable. For the bottom piece I just used a smaller box that fit over my hips and cut a hole out on the top. I paper mached it. My partner helped me out a lot and primed and painted it for me since I was running out of time. </div>

I wore black gloves since I ran out of time to make anything else. I made feet for him too out of plastic bowls but they fell apart almost immediately at the con. The plastic knife was a lucky dollar store find. The money bag was a pillow case from the dollar tree that I rounded off with the sewing machine. I drew the money sign on it with sharpie and stuffed it with newspaper to make it look full of money. I added tap lights for his eyes and just taped them in at the con. 😂</div>

I spent a solid two months working on this every day after work and on my days off. It is my biggest and most ambitious cosplay I have made and honestly I am pretty proud of it especially since I was working two jobs at the time! I was so surprised by the response and had a lot of fun wearing him. </div>

A few years back I crocheted a <a href="https://www.cherelledx.com/2014/10/crochet-donnie-darko-amigurumi.html" target="_blank">Donnie Darko amigurumi</a>. I had intentions of making a Frank but took me a while to get to it. I crocheted his base last year but got stuck on his bunny mask. I put off finishing him for over a year and finally got around to making the mask. I used this pattern <a href="https://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=403946.0#axzz327REjIO7" target="_blank">here</a> for his base. I used a pet brush to comb out the yarn once I was finished to give him that fur effect.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I used two different colored safety eyes. One brown one for his regular eye and one black one for the shot out eye. I used red puffy paint for the blood around his shot out eye. I sewed his mouth by pulling yarn through the back and around the front where I wanted it to be and then putting the yarn back inside. I just tied it in a knot and called it good. For his hair I used longer pieces of yarn for the top and filled in the rest by sewing it in.<br />

For the mask I crocheted a piece that would fit around his head. I brushed it out to give it the fur effect. I drew a template of the bunny face and then cut it out of felt. I glued the eyes, teeth, and nose/forehead piece to the base. I painted it with silver metallic paint and added details and dimension with chalk pastels.<br />

I mentioned in a previous post that I really love Futurama. It is my favorite show of all time so when I started getting more into cosplay Leela was an obvious choice. She dresses like I do normally so I figured she wouldn't be too difficult to put together. </div>

This one is easy. I already owned the white tank top and black leggings. I bought a purple wig off of Amazon. I bought a pair of black boots from Payless (RIP) and painted the boots grey. I taped off where I wanted the boot strap details.<br />

I used the pattern for the thing she wears on her wrist (haha) from this website <a href="http://www.thefoamcave.com/tutorials/How-to-make-gauntlets-arm-guards" target="_blank">here</a>. I cut it out of foam. I cut out the design on the arm band to match Leela's in the show. I primed the foam with watered down white glue and painted it a teal color. I cut another piece of foam that I had primed and painted dark blue. I just glued that on the inside of the arm cuff where I cut out the design. I used velcro to secure it on my wrist.<br />

I used plastic canvas that I believe is used for cross stitch. I cut out a bean shape with eyelashes on it. I used black felt for the pupil and eyelashes. I glued those on with hot glue. I tied thin elastic to it so it can go around my head. I have a rough pattern I drew that you can find <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XU892UxQ1cQwmzZhL0HCDiEU2z3EC9BC/view?usp=sharing">here.</a><br />

That's it! Leela is pretty easy cosplay to put together but I thought I would share my own interpretation of her. My partner bought me Nibbler so he's a perfect addition to the costume.<br />

<br />
I started watching Bojack Horseman in 2017. I instantly fell in love with it. I think it is a very smart, witty and real show and the characters are awesome even with all their flaws. My partner and I were deciding on what to dress up as for Halloween in 2017. We landed on Bojack Horseman and Princess Carolyn kind of by accident. We put both the costumes together in about 2 days and used a lot of materials I already had laying around. I think all of one person recognized us on Halloween. We've worn them to conventions about 3 times by now and they always get a good response.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>For her outfit:</u></i></b><br />
<br />
The yellow cardigan was a lucky thrift store find. The teal dress was a lucky Target clearance buy. The dress isn't 100% accurate but it is pretty close. I glued yellow fish that I cut out of felt onto the dress in a diagonal pattern to match her pattern on the dress. The belt I already owned. I bought pink fuzzy gloves from the dollar store. For her shoes I bought black pumps and painted them red with red leather paint. I wish I would have taken more pictures of all of this but when I was putting this together I was just in the zone and completely forgot!<br />
<br />

<br />
I used yellow ribbon for the choker part that I just tied around my neck. The jewel part is made out of perler/melty beads. I glued an eye pin to the ribbon and to the charm that I made and used a jump ring to connect them.<br />

<b><i><u>For her ears:</u></i></b><br />
<br />
I cut the ear shape out of craft foam so that there are two connected. Then I wrapped the ears around a headband and glued them together. I primed the ears with glue and painted them pink. I added the black lines with sharpie.<br />

<b><i><u>Makeup, hair, and turning yourself pink:</u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u><br /></u></i></b>
The first few times I wore this costume I did my makeup and hair. I am not the best at makeup or hair to be honest. I painted my face and exposed skin with pink water based body paint. Used purple eyeshadows to give myself a smoky eye and used black eyeliner for a cat eye and whiskers. For my hair I gave myself Princess Carolyn's signature hair bump and sprayed it with pink hair spray. I never could decide which way to wear my hair. For turning my legs pink I dyed white tights with Kool-Aid. There are plenty of tutorials on how to do color something with Kool-Aid. This method works really well and I've even been able to wash them!<br />

At one of the conventions I went to I saw some other Bj & PC cosplayers that had made masks for themselves. I decided I was tired of doing my hair and makeup before the con and that I would make my own mask. I used the Paper Mache baloon method. I followed a tutorial pretty closely that can be found <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHFWdBNWwTk&t=446s" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

After the paper mache dried. I primed it with white Gesso. Then painted it pink. Cut out the eye holes. I added the details with black sharpie and a white acrylic paint marker. I added black pipe cleaners as her whiskers and just hot glued them on to the mask. I can't really see or hear out of the mask so I carry it around with me at cons and if somebody asks for a picture I will just put it on then. </div>

The IT Crowd is one of my all time favorite shows. When my partner (Devin) and I started dating he had never seen the show before. I told him to watch it and he instantly fell in love. It is one of the shows that we constantly quote from. Last fall we went to Santa Fe Comic Con for his birthday. I wanted to make a new costume but didn't have a lot of time. I had the idea to dress up as Moss & Roy. This is essentially a closet cosplay. </div>

I got all of the stuff for Moss at the thrift store. Luckily it was around Halloween so they had a lot of costume items out. I was able to find the afro wig for pretty cheap. The wig was really easy to style. I just parted it where I wanted it and then just pinned the back down so it wasn't totally round. I bought the shirt, tie, and pants from the thrift store. The watch we already owned. The glasses are my real glasses. (haha)</div>

For Roy we had to decide what shirt from the show to recreate. We decided on the Space Invaders shirt because it is the shirt he wears in the first episode and the one he has in the opening theme. We just printed it on fabric transfer paper and ironed it on a plain black shirt the day of the con. I bought the army green jacket from the army surplus store. We printed a sign out on computer paper and called it a day. </div>

Every time we wear these costumes they always seem like a big hit. We've worn them to three cons at this point. It is always fun to see people's reaction to them. Most people will recognize me as Moss first and then when Devin shows them the sign they get more excited. Moss & Roy have turned into our favorite casual, easy day cosplay. </div>

Last summer I bought a PS4 and was playing a lot of Overwatch. My partner (Devin) and I decided to dress up as Soldier 76 and D.VA for Denver Comic Con. We didn't finish them in time so we wore them for Colorado Springs Comic Con instead. This cosplay was deceptively difficult to make. I didn't think it would take very long but it has a lot of little details. Anyway here is how I did it.<br />
<br />

<br />
First things first was the apron! I used an easy pattern to make the base apron. (I don't remember which one.) We bought a spatula and tongs from the Dollar Tree, spray painted them black and added the neon details. The spices were just empty spice jars from my cabinet that I spray painted the lids black.<br />

<br />
For the pockets I made a pattern out of paper. I used two pieces of fabric and sewed them, right sides together, then turned them inside out to form a strip. I folded that strip into thirds to form the pocket. They are useable pockets albeit not very good or big ones. I sewed them on the apron with black thread to kind of match the original design. I left the bottom open so I could add the silver wire detail. I added silver rivets to the top flaps of the pockets and I glued black bias tape to the top flap as well.<br />

I attached the tongs by making button holes where I thought they should go. I painted hooks from the dollar tree to match the fabric and put them through the button holes. I just glued them in place and they held pretty well. If I had more time I probably would have sewn a patch over the hooks on the back for extra security. Then we just used hair ties to keep the tongs/spatula on the hooks.<br />

To attach the spices I used two strips of fabric. Sewed them right sides together, then turned them inside out. I placed the spices where I wanted them to be and pinned the fabric around them so that the fabric would hold them in place. Then I just sewed the strip of fabric where I pinned it. Then put the spices back in and they held all day pretty well. </div>

For the "Raise the Steaks" and "Dang!" details we took them to a place to get screen printed but I do not suggest this entirely because they didn't do what we had asked. I personally am a control freak and I don't like giving away creative control to somebody else. I have a PDF for a graphic that I made on google docs <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yp-fQ5_5SApKRW6RyleXGxMmCgUuCyMZ/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">here</a>. The first go around of the apron we tried to paint it on but the stencil got stuck to the apron and it didn't work out that well but if we had more time it would have worked better I think. It is all a learning process and the end result turned out fine. </div>

For the Hawaiian shirt we just bought a red shirt from the thrift store. I painted on the Hawaiian flowers. I tried to use stencils but found it to be more difficult than it needed to be. I just free handed them with chalk and then painted them with white paint. The 76 on the back is cut out from felt and glued on to the back. I have PDFs of the 76 you can download. I hand drew them myself.

I created a graphic for the cans out of pictures online. Then printed it out on normal printer paper. It is not the best but it gets the job done.

I cut down another belt I bought from the thrift store and glued those pieces around the cans. Then glued the cans onto the arm belt.<br />

Nothing too crazy here. We bought a pair of cargo shorts from the thrift store. Bought the dad sandals at Kohl's. The watch and socks Devin already owned. We sprayed his hair and beard with white hair spray. We made scars out of liquid latex and lipstick. The sunglasses we bought from the thrift store. The dish towel we bought at the Dollar Tree and just stuck it in one of the short's pockets. </div>

All in all I think this cosplay came out really well. It was well received. I think my favorite part of wearing our Overwatch cosplays was when a little kid came up to us all excited and told us that these were the skins they had on their players.<br />

I think I would like to add some of the other details from this skin but haven't found another con that we will wear these to. Just have to wait for Overwatch 2!<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One thing about me is that I absolutely love Futurama. It has become such a big part of my life. I quote it on a regular basis, have t-shirts, stickers on my car, and I have cosplayed from it as well. So when I saw the episode Proposition Infinity, I knew I had to make Bender's tile graffiti into a granny square blanket. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have never made a granny square blanket or even a granny square before so it was definitely a learning experience. I used <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJkihYMXwJY&list=LLijayDjmnfEWs2PeGnxUZPw&index=37&t=1s" target="_blank">this</a> tutorial for the squares and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5u0JQckUVZc" target="_blank">this</a> tutorial to stitch them together. I fleece lined it as well using <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZl_a9ux3QQ" target="_blank">this</a> tutorial. It took me about two years to finish crocheting all the squares, stitching them together (because I did it wrong) and fleece lining it. I am a pretty slow worker. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've seen The Force Awakens three times. I think I saw all in about two weeks. It is absolutely one of the best movies I have ever seen. Feeling a little inspired with all the Star Wars awesomeness I decided to make a BB-8 beanie</span><br />
<b><u><span style="color: orange; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></u></b>
<b><u><span style="color: orange; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For the beanie</span></u></b><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I used poly fiber fill to stuff the eyes so they would hold their shape. If you don't want them so three dimensional you can join rounds instead of doing continuous rounds and they will lay more flat. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sew eyes onto the beanie and you're done!</span><br />

This year for Halloween I decided to dress up as Bombshell Wonder Woman. I love this whole series that DC has done. I thought Wonder Woman would be a good place to start because hers seemed to be the least complicated and that I could easily put it together. Turns out all the little accessories weren't the most time friendly things to put together. The things I thought would be the hardest didn't actually end up being that complicated. This isn't necessarily a "how to" but more of a way to share what I did and to share some ideas on how I did it. </div>

I bought a red long sleeved button down shirt from the thrift store. Cut the sleeves off and added a zipper, collar, and the little sleeve embellishments(?) I also took it in at the waist so it could be a little more form fitting. </div>

<b><u>Emblem on the shirt</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
I found an image of the Wonder Woman logo and blew it up to the size I wanted it to be and halved it so I could transfer the image to both sides of the shirt. I printed it out and used chalk to trace the outline. I then put the emblem on the shirt where I wanted it to be to transfer the chalk outline. I used Tulip soft fabric paint to paint over the chalk outline.<br />

<b><u>Shorts</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
I didn't take any pictures of the shorts because they weren't too involved. I used a pair of high waisted shorts that I had bought from Forever 21. I just used iron on star patches for the stars on the shorts.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Boots</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
The boots were a pair of cheap boots that I had bought from Gordmans. I used leather paint to paint them red and paint on the details. I used pleather fabric to add the boots cuffs.<br />

I think it came out really nice. Unfortunately no body knew who I was supposed to be but I was impressed with myself and I guess that is all that really matters. :P I think I might eventually try to get better pictures taken of the whole thing but until then the pictures I have will have to do.<br />

I hope I gave you some ideas on how to make your own bombshell Wonder Woman! If you have an questions always feel free to contact me. I'm normally pretty quick to respond! :)Cherelledxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09881681433615373674noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8408870082275990213.post-41860419437578771112014-10-29T18:20:00.001-06:002014-10-29T18:20:31.367-06:00Crochet Donnie Darko Amigurumi <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Coming at you with another Amigurumi. This time it is Donnie Darko! Donnie Darko is my favorite movie. Since it is almost Halloween, I thought it was fitting to try to make a little Donnie Darko. This is what I came up with and honestly I think it is one of my favorite things that I have made. I used this pattern <a href="http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=403946.0#axzz327REjIO7">here</a> for the base and I came up with his little hoodie. <br />
<br />

I used safety eyes for his eyes. I sewed him a little mouth by pulling yarn through the back and around the front where I wanted it to be and then putting the yarn back inside. I just tied it in a knot and called it good. The little bones are iron on transfers and I just glued them on. For his hair I drew the outline of where I wanted his hair to be and then I just kind of filled it in with yarn. It's kind of hard to explain how I did it.<br />

<br />I came up with my own pattern for his hoodie and then I sewed his arms on outside of it to secure it on his body. His little hood even comes off. <br />
<br />
That's about it! I'm really happy with the way he came out. I think it's super cute and he's going to look totally awesome on my bookcase. <br />

I got requested a LONG time ago to do this crochet hook. I had tried one attempt, didn't like it and then gave up on making another one. For whatever reason I got inspired to try to make it again. My skills have gotten better and I have better tools and techniques so I figured the second attempt would be better. Sure enough it was! I think this one came out pretty neat.<br />

It is made out of tan polymer clay. I used different sized dotting tools to make weird oblong circles on it. Then I painted it with different shades of brown paint. I used a pencil and black paint to paint the small details on the band.<br />

I think it came out pretty good and fairly true to the movie wand. I'm going to be selling these on Etsy. I normally do tutorials with these but wasn't sure if anyone was going to be interested in seeing that but if you are, you can shoot me a comment or message and I would be more than willing to put one up! If that's not your thing you can buy one from my etsy <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/207725962/elder-wand-crochet-hook-grip?ref=shop_home_active_2">here.</a> <br />

It's been forever since I have posted anything! I normally try to post once a month but the past few months I haven't had a whole lot of motivation but I'm back and I should have a few blogs out over the next few weeks (hopefully)<br /><br />
Anyway, I work at a comic book store and thought I would make something for the guys at work. I decided on Superman because I thought he would be the simplest to put together. I used this pattern <a href="http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=403946.0#axzz327REjIO7" target="_blank">here</a>. I have used this pattern before and I liked it. This time I decided to do joined rounds and I got a better result this time. <br />

I used felt for his cape and iron on transfers (these are becoming my favorite for logos) for the logo. I just used glue to put the cape and logo on because I'm too lazy to sew it on. Since he will probably never need to be washed I didn't find it problematic. I used safety eyes for his eyes. I also figured out a better way to give him hair. I think the end result is pretty awesome and cute.<br />

<br />The guys at work thought he was neat. One guy is a huge Superman fanatic so he absolutely loved him. He looks pretty cool in the comic book shop.<br />
<br />
If you guys have any questions on how I put him together feel free to ask. He was pretty simple to put together. It is not my pattern but I can tell you where I did color changes and things like that. :) Cherelledxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09881681433615373674noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8408870082275990213.post-16221313766827597462014-07-27T12:19:00.003-06:002014-07-27T12:19:57.261-06:00Crochet Colorado Avalanche Amigurumi <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I think I mentioned in one of my other posts that I like hockey. I also like to crochet and my favorite team is the Avalanche. I figured I might as well try to crochet a little Avalanche player. I'm not one to crochet a lot of other things besides hats. I thought I would take myself out of my comfort zone a bit. I used <a href="http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=403946.0#axzz327REjIO7" target="_blank">this</a> pattern. I worked in continuous rounds, which I do not suggest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I ended up with some obvious color jumps, which I expected. The whole thing pulled sort of funny one way. If I decided to make another one I will not be using continuous rounds again. For the number I just used felt and for the name and the logo on the front I used printable iron transfers. I used E6000 to glue the number and the name. Again, I would not suggest this. It ended up being messy and didn't look very good. For the logo I used tacky glue. This worked a little better but it left residue.</div>

I think the hair is my least favorite about the whole thing. I couldn't get it to the look the way I wanted it to. I think I put way too much of it. I used yarn and wrapped it around a credit card and then cut it in half. I used one piece of yarn and pulled it through the stitches. I think he has way too much hair. For the face I used safety eyes and I embroidered (badly) the mouth.<br />

I crocheted the base and needle felted the letters on there. The crown is an iron on transfer. For this you are going to have to know some basic color changes and how to carry the yarn. You will also need to know how to single crochet decrease. <br />
<br />
<u>For the base</u><br />
Hook size F/5- 3.75 mm<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Like I said if i decide to make any more of these I plan on doing them slightly differently. I think I'll make the whole base black except for the rows that need to be grey and white and then I'll just SC a grey border around the whole thing. I thought doing it the way I did would look better but towards the bottom with the decreases there are some very obvious color changes that I do not like. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">For the LA part, I printed out a logo about the same size as the crocheted one. I took an Xacto knife and cut out the L and the A. I taped it on the crochet piece and used it as sort of a stencil for the needle felting. If you don't want to or don't know how to needle felt, you can just use felt to cut out the letters and you can glue or sew them on. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Although I think it would look fine without the crown, I wanted to find a way to put it on there. I tried felt but the crown was just too small and detailed for it to come out right. I ended up buying iron on transfers. </div>

I just followed the directions in the package. I ironed mine on felt, cut it out, and glued it on and then sewed it on the crocheted piece. If you plan on washing these, I suggest using a washable glue or sewing it on there.<br />

I've been wanting to crochet more hockey logos and make more hockey inspired crafts. I decided to start with this years Stanley Cup finalists. I started with the New York Rangers and I'll have LA out soon too. This is what I came up with.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I crocheted the base and just needle felted the details on. </div>
<u><br /></u>
<u>For the base</u><br />
Hook size- F/5- 3.75 mm<br />
<br />
Chain 21<br />
Row 1- SC second chain from the hook, 1 SC in each stitch, ch1, turn<br />
Row 2- 2 SC decreases, 1 SC in next 12 stitches, 2 SC decreases, ch 1, turn<br />
Row 3- 2 SC decreases, 1 SC in next 8 stitches, 2 SC decreases, ch 1, turn<br />
Row 4-13 (10 rows)- 1 SC in each stitch, ch 1, turn<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Row 14- 1 SL ST in first 5 stitches, 1 DC in next 2 stitches, 5 SL ST. Fasten off and weave in loose ends. Leave a long tail if you're going to sew it onto something else.<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">You should have something like this. </span></div>

<br />
For the details you can use felt or sew them on. I needle felted mine on there. I found that the felt was too hard to get the letters cut out. I didn't trust myself to try to embroider them either. <br />
<br />

I printed out a logo that was about the same size as the base. I used an Xacto knife to cut out where I would be detailing on the base. I just used this as kind of a stencil. Obviously this isn't going to come out perfect. You're going to have to peel off the stencil and work the felt in more to get it the way you want. For the lines I just free-handed them since they are such a fine detail. I also free-handed the points at the top of logo too. I used felting wool for the white and I cut up red yarn and used that for the red, since I didn't have an red felting wool.<br />

I've honestly haven't had any creative drive. I was busy with school and that kind of sucked all of my creativity and energy away. I have been stressing out trying to find a job. I've also been busy with etsy orders that I haven't had the chance to create anything new. I did however, get a custom order for a Molly Weasley wand crochet hook. This is what I came up with. <br />

I used multiple browns to try to make it look like wood. Then I used really water downed acrylic paint as almost a "stain" because I thought it was a little too light. Then I used brown acrylic on the top and bottom too give it a bit more dimension. <br />

I like to make things from that show though. I think the fandom is pretty cool and they have a lot of icons from it. A lot of the shows I do watch, don't really have that. I know Doctor Who is really popular right now. I figured I would make little TARDIS charms.You can add little rings to put them on a chain or a keyring if you want or just leave it and they can just hang out on your desk or shelf.<br />

<br />
<br />
1. Take a chunk of blue clay and work it into a rectangular prism. I just squeezed the sides and then the top and bottom until I got it the shape I wanted. Don't worry about it being perfect, we'll fix it in the next step.<br />

2. Cut the top and bottom off to flatten them out. Then pinch the sides out. (If that makes sense)<br />

3. Take another small piece of blue clay and flatten it out. Then cut out a smaller square than the top of the base. Rub out any seams and put it on top of base.<br />

4. Take small pieces of black clay and flatten them out and make them into little rectangles. Cut them to size and put them at the top of each base.<br />

5. Take small pieces of white clay and make them into little squares. Mine aren't perfect and are a little more round but I think they still look good. Put these under the black bars for the windows.<br />

6. Take another small piece of white clay and put it on top to make the little light.<br />

7. Take your toothpick or something pointy and draw little squares underneath the windows. Two on each side.<br />
<br />
This step is optional. If you want to create a ring so you can put these on a chain or something, this is how you do it.<br />
<br />

Take some copper wire and wrap one end around the other a few times and then cut it. Leave enough tail to anchor it into the TARDIS.<br />

9. Once it gets out of the oven and it is cooled, use blue acrylic paint to add the lines for the windows. That's it! <br />

I just wanted to make a quick post about what I've been crocheting. I started a really big afghan that is going to take me a while to finish so I've been trying to make smaller things to keep me from getting bored with the project. I thought I would be able to make the Flyers' logo so I took a whack at it. I think it came out pretty alright. It definitely needs a little tweaking but for the most part, I think it came out pretty good. I'm not going to post the pattern because I honestly don't think anyone would be interested but if you are let me know and I would be more than happy to share it. :)<br />
<br />
Update: I got asked to share it, the pattern is in the comments but I'll just add it to the blog.<br />
<br />

I've lived here my whole life. Although I always talk about moving out of state, I know my heart is here. Recently the Colorado Flag has been HUGE here. I see it everywhere. It's on everything. From hats to t-shirts to just about anything. I've come up with some different items with the flag incorporated into it and this is one of them! This is perfect for those cold Colorado mornings or for a jog around the neighborhood. Looks cute with a bun or a ponytail. It's pretty easy to make too!<br />

<u><b><br /></b></u>
<b><u>For the headband</u></b><br />
<br />
<b>Hook size J/10- 6.00 MM</b><br />
<br />
With blue, I'm using Lily Sugar 'N Cream cotton yarn <br />
Foundation HDC 54 stitches, ch 2, turn<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(I personally like to start with foundation chains instead of normal chains. I think they look better and they are a better gauge of what size you need. If you don't know how to do a foundation HDC, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tp7mgnV7fs" target="_blank">here</a> is a good video or you can just chain 56 and do your first stitch in the 2nd chain from the hook and do one row of HDC and follow the rest of the directions like normal.)</span><br />
<br />
Row 2 & 3- 1 HDC in each stitch, ch 2, turn. At end of third row change colors to white.<br />
<br />
Row 4-6- 1 HDC in each stitich, ch 2, turn. At end of sixth row change colors to blue.<br />
<br />
Row 7-9- 1 HDC in each stitch, ch 2, turn. Leave a long tail to sew the ends together. <br />
<br />
You're just going to do three rows of each.<br />
<br />
<u>For the C and sun </u><br />
The sun and c is worked as one piece. <br />
<b>Hook size G/6- 4.25 MM</b><br />
<br />
With yellow<br />
<br />
Ch 3, sl st to join<br />
I work in continuous rounds<br />
<br />
Round 1- 6 SC<br />
Round 2- 2 SC in each stitch, change colors to red at the end of the round (12)<br />
Round 3- 1 SC in next 10 stitches ch 1, turn<br />
Round 4- 2 SC in first stitch, 1 SC in next 3 stitches, 2 SC in next (4th) stitch, 1 SC in next 4 stitches, 2 SC in last stitch. Finish off and leave a long tail for both colors to sew onto the headband. <br />
<br />
Sew the sun/c combo onto the headband. I like to place mine a little off center but place as you see fit and that's it!<br />

Who doesn't like a fun crochet hook? It's nice seeing all of these hooks side by side. I had a hard time getting the lighting right. I normally like to shoot during the day so I can get nice natural light but I was feeling a bit spontaneous and wanted to take a picture of these little guys.<br />
<br />
If you would like you can buy a hook from me over on my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Cherelled" target="_blank">etsy</a><br />
<br />
I also have tutorials for all of these hooks if you don't want to buy one.<br />

When I go to the Avs vs. Blackhawks game I always get a little jealous of all the cool things the fans can do. I've seen girls with feathers in their hair and people with face paint that matches the mascot. As an Avs fan we don't really have any of that. Our mascot is a dog for god's sake. I haven't come up with anything really awesome for us Avs fans yet but I did make a really cool Blackhawks beanie. I hope you enjoy! </span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
For the hat, you can pretty much use whatever basic beanie pattern you like.<br />
<br />
This is what I did for mine.<br />
<br />
<b>Hook size J/10- 6.00 MM</b><br />
<br />
Ch 3, sl st together<br />
I work in continuous rounds. <br />
<br />
Round 1- 6 SC in center of the circle<br />
Round 2- 2 DC in each stitch (12)<br />
Round 3- 2 DC in each stitch (24)<br />
Round 4- 2 DC in each stitch (48)<br />
Round 5-14 <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(10 rounds, I never know how to count that)</span>- 1 DC in each stitch<br />
Round 15- 1 SC in each stitch <br />
On the last row, sl st in 2nd stitch to even off the round.<br />
<br />
<u>For the feathers </u><br />
<br />
You're going to do the same thing for all the feathers except the only difference is how many chains you start with. <br />
I have an in depth blog about how to crochet the feathers that you can find <a href="http://cherelled.blogspot.com/2014/01/crochet-feathers-pattern.html" target="_blank">here.</a><br />
<br />
<b>Hook size G/6- 4.25 MM</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Red feather- Chain 13</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Green feather- Chain 18</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yellow feather- Chain 21</div>
Orange feather- Chain 26 <br />
Ch however many stitches you need, Sl st down the chain 2nd chain from the hook. Ch 1, turn <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. 1 SC in each stitch. When you get to the end of the row, put hook
into other side of the chain and SC down the other side of the chain. Ch
1, turn</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. 1 SC in each stitch in the back loops only. Finish off, leave a long tail to sew onto the hat. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Add detail like the ribbing according to the mascot's colors. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The cool thing about the feather pattern is it is very versatile. If you don't like the feather sizes I used you can always chain a different amount and go from there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once all the feathers are done, just sew them on the hat as you see fit and that's it! </div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO0h0Rh4YgQGpyeyRGfFlZlY5GuP-4FF54NToEh4uj8M9Ip9qlyzDm_5syjGWySXpWLfFIkyCL875va4PPWqvPayx9nUYBxZSQIyG59ccCGGcmXWXIEztg9wBpXjBIys-Ra4ycLrCTXha-/s1600/IMG_4414.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO0h0Rh4YgQGpyeyRGfFlZlY5GuP-4FF54NToEh4uj8M9Ip9qlyzDm_5syjGWySXpWLfFIkyCL875va4PPWqvPayx9nUYBxZSQIyG59ccCGGcmXWXIEztg9wBpXjBIys-Ra4ycLrCTXha-/s1600/IMG_4414.JPG" height="640" width="480" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
I really love how this hat came out! Perfect for all those hockey games! If you guys have any questions, always feel free to ask. I'm normally pretty quick at replying to comments and questions.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">You can also buy one of these beanies from my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/176119939/chicago-blackhawks-feathers-beanie?" target="_blank">etsy</a>. :)</span></b></span><br />

I needed to find a feathers pattern but couldn't find one I really liked and I didn't want to pay for one. I ended up coming up with one on my own and it ended up being really easy to put together. This is what I came up with.<br />
<br />
The good thing about this pattern is that it's really versatile. I have made four different sizes of feathers with it and they all come out great. It all just depends on how many chains you start with.<br />
<br />
I'm using a hook size <b>G/6-4.25MM</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

1. Chain 21<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
2. Slip stitch down the chain from the second chain from the hook for 20 stitches. Chain 1 and turn<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
4. Instead of chaining and turning, we're going to start single crocheting on the other side. So, when you get to the end of the row you're going to put your hook in the chain on the other side and start your first single crochet. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
5. 1 SC in each of the chains. There will be little holes. Single crochet into those little spaces. Chain 1, turn<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
6. 1 SC in every stitch, in the back loops only. This will create a nice little ridge. <br />
<br />
<br />

Should look something like this when you're finished. Now we're going to add some details.<br />
<br />

<br />
Use a contrasting color. Pull the yarn through the back and bring it forward and pull through the back again to create one stitch.Work down the middle spine of the feather.<br />
<br />

This is the technique I'm going to be using for all the stitches. Pull the yarn through the back lower than the first stitch that was created and then pull through the front where the first stitch was created. Do this all the way down the spine of the feather. </div>

I outlined the outside edges of my feather. If you want to do this just use the same technique as the rest of the feather. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
That's it! That's how you crochet a feather. Remember that if you want to make different sizes you just have to chain a different amount and the rest of the directions stay the same.<br />

I've tried to watch it but I just can't seem to get into it. I know it is all the rage right now and a lot of people like it. I figured a lot of crocheters would like to see a Sonic screwdriver tutorial and I wanted to see if I could come up with one. I'm pretty pleased with the way it came out and I think it looks pretty good.<br />

1. Start off with a copper base. I just take a chunk of clay and wrap up it around the hook. <br />
Roll it between your hands to extend it all the way up and around the hook. Cut off the top and bottom to desired length.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
2. Squeeze the copper clay a little bit in the middle to make it indented. Roll out a piece of black clay and cut it into a rectangle and wrap it around the squeezed part of the clay. Squeeze it in the middle so top and bottom are fatter than the middle.<br />

3. If you have an extruder use a small rectangle piece to squeeze out the bands. If you don't have one it's not a big deal, you can just roll out the gray clay and cut out the bands. I didn't use the extruder for the first one I made and it came out just fine.<br />
<br />

4. With the gray bands cut four the same size and place them under the black band. Then use something with a small point to poke holes into the band. I have a clay tool but you can use a toothpick or a dry pen. I poked three holes across and the length of the band.<br />

9. Roll out some "snakes" and cut them to fit around the top of the base. I did three links around the top.<br />
<br />
10. Bake according to your clays specifications! That's it!<br />

I got asked if I could make a Harry Potter crochet hook grip. This is what I came up with. This one is a little more complicated and has a lot more steps than my other crochet hook grips. Overall, I am pretty impressed with the way it came out. I think it is pretty accurate to the wand used in the movies. <br />
<br />

<br />
1. As always, we need to start off with a base. Take a piece of clay and just roll it around the crochet hook. Rub it between your hands to smooth out any seams.<br />

2. Take a little band of clay and place it in the middle. Rub out the ends so it looks ridged around the edges. </div>

3. Next, take a ball of clay and put it on the end of the wand. Smooth out the edges to make it seamless with the body. <br />

4. Now we add the knots and the wood grain. Take small pieces of clay and add them to shaft of the wand. I usually do about two or three knots. To add the wood grain, take a toothpick or a tool and just start at the top of and kind of trace around the knots. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
5. For the bottom ball of the wand, I used a piece of foil and just crumpled it around the clay. Try not to let it touch anything but the ball on the bottom. <br />

4. Now for some final details! For the middle band, use your toothpick or tool to draw circles. I did a small circle than a bigger one, and a bigger one around that. It doesn't matter if they're perfect. I just did this all the way around the band. Finally, draw a U shape (I don't know how else to describe it) from the middle of the top to the back. </div>
<br />

5. Then bake according to your packaging's instructions. I had to bake mine for about an hour. </div>

6. Once the wand is completely cool it is now ready to be painted. I mixed black and the wine color and used a little bit of the makeup sponge and the tweezers to sponge on the paint. I wanted the color of the clay to peek through a bit. I used the black on the handle part of the wand. Next, I mixed the brown and wine color and painted the rest of the wand with this color. I used the same technique with the sponge and the tweezers. With the brown color I wanted it to be more opaque. </div>

I've been trying to come up with new ideas. I also have been watching Adventure Time since it was put on Netflix so I put two and two together and decided to make Finn's golden sword into a crochet hook grip. This is probably my favorite crochet hook grip that I have put together. <br />
<br />

<ul>
<li>Black polymer clay</li>
<li>Red polymer clay</li>
<li>Blue polymer clay</li>

1. As always start off with a base. I tried to make this one as thin as possible. Just take a chunk of clay and form it around the crochet hook and then roll it between your hands until it forms all the way around. You may have to trim the top and bottom to make it even.<br />
<br />
<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
2. For the guard piece, you will need two small strips of clay that are the same size. Place one strip on top of the base and kind of mold it around and have it stick out. Take the other strip and do that to the other side. Pinch the two strips together so it forms the guard. <br />
<br />

4. Now time to add the details! Take some blue strips of clay and try to make them as thin as possible while still maintaining their shape. This can be kind of hard. Start wrapping the pieces around the base. You want to make it look like one continuous band so make sure you rub any seams out. Take some red clay and roll it into a ball and place on the round part of the base for the jewel.<br />
<br />
5. Bake for 25 minutes or as long as you see fit! <br />
