Made an executive decision: there was no way I'd finish an Emotional Support Chicken this month, so I did a crocheted chicken coaster from a popular pattern. I should not have had problems with it, and yet, I did--I ended up with too few stitches on a row, and decided to just fudge the rest. Go figure. So I do not have a perfect chicken, but it's good enough. I just need to find some yellow yarn for the beak and weave in ends.
Why was I making a chicken, after all? It's for Nerdopolis' "Sidekicks and Pets" challenge. There's a character in Final Fantasy XIV who's a bit of a sidekick himself, and he has a bright green chicken as a pet. So obviously, I had to make a bright green chicken for this challenge.
Glad my shoulder allowed this much--probably about an hour and a half of crafting. I'll take it!
What kind of crafting supplies can you never resist buying?
Mostly yarn. I am probably going to hit up Joann tomorrow and see if they have started clearance sales yet. I also am a sucker for washi tape and journaling supplies, which I don't actually USE all that much, oops. But they're so fun to shop for!
