Miscellaneous

This was technically a brooch but I put a magnet on the back so it could have a practical use. 2015.

Made this for a friend who loves pandas. I hated working in the round at the time, though, so I hadn't quite gotten the hang of sizing. This was supposed to fit a soda can, not a wine bottle. 2015.

A small knight here to protect your wine bottles or corks! Not pictured: his trusty sword (a toothpick). 2015

My cousin was a cat for her first Halloween so I made a small tail and ears to complete her costume. 2015.

One of my undergrad friends is proudly from Hawaii. I knew absolutely nothing about the culture prior to meeting her, so it was cool to learn from someone who was so excited to share her culture with friends. Leis are typically given to individuals receiving an honor, such as at a graduation or wedding, or as a sign of friendship. I made this for her when she graduated.

Made this for a friend's mom in 2016; she picked out the colors

A coworker commissioned me to make this bookmark in 2017 as a gift for his friend, an avid reader.

This is a test swatch from when I learned the corner-to-corner (C2C) technique in 2017. I needed to practice the technique itself and switching colors. My brother loves The Riddler, hence the pattern.

I intended for this to be a dorm Christmas tree topper but didn't starch it enough. The friend who received it had a much better use for it: it became the apartment prize for winning Super Mario Party and would adorn the door of the most recent winner. 2017

This was one of my favorite projects because it came from a fun deal: I would crochet a pair of fingerless gloves for a friend and, in exchange, she threw a ceramic mug and bowl for me. It was so fun exchanging crafts like this, and I got to use my first "luxury" yarn! 2019

Did this commissioned piece by simply looking at a photo, which I'm proud of. March 2022
