Hail Cupidthulhu!

To the sides you can see my Cupidthulhu prototype. I will be offering them mid-January onwards when my shop reopens after Break, just in time for Valentine's Day shoppers. I stopped using Red Heart and now use solid-color Cascade yarn from Old Town Yarnery. It costs more, but not too much more, and is much, much more pleasant to work with. I will be charging $17 to fellow students in person and $22 online for these pink ones, because the buttons drive up cost of materials (as opposed to the standard green, which are $15 in person and $20 online). I think it's worth it though, for teh cutes.

Sigh. Got a Chinese exam this afternoon, even though I'd rather huddle in my room and drown my sorrows in yarn. Until next time.

One of my two Cthulhus made has already sold!

A friend bought it as a Christmas present for her cousin. I charged $15. Got the eyes and embroidery things today. Have been embroidering this evening rather than crocheting because I'm tired of fingerless gloves and when you crochet with cheap yarn like I use for the Cthulhus for too long, it starts to BURN.

Winter Market on campus tomorrow! Got permission from my evening class' professor to be late so I can stay for the entire duration. Wish me luck.

I'm making little Cthulhus again

During Winter Break my Etsy will be in vacation mode, but I will be building up stock and taking photographs in preparation. I've found Red Heart kelly green yarn works fine for Cthulhus, though if I marathon crochet the rough texture hurts my fingers. Have to take breaks.

I will also be adding samplers to the mix, since I have rediscovered my love of embroidery. Going to Hobby Lobby today to get safety eyes and embroidery hoops.
