Loops By Liz

I finished that beach dress, but I'm currently mad at it and trying to decide if I want to deal with redoing one of the arm hole edges or just leave it uneven.

So, check out these hats I did over the last few days instead. :)

I love the LGBTQ+ color ways that Joann's put out and finally got a chance to pick up some of them. Next up will be a few in the Trans flag colors, one of which I'll be giving my kiddo to gift their bonus sibling who they said will love it. Excited to hear how it's received.

Whipped up an ear warmer the other evening. I've got several random bits of wool and wool blend yarns that I need to destash that aren't big enough for much else, so I'm putting together several small, quick items in my spare time with them I think. :)

I had the pleasure of testing the and for !!

These patterns just released yesterday and they're fantastic quick makes that use up very little yarn. I made all three of these from one ball of peaches & creme.

I've been testing the Meadowlark Wristlet & Lanyard patterns for KNDesign this week. They work up quick and use very little yarn. Very happy with how they've turned out! :)

And he's complete! Friend requested Hobbes for his little boy and I was all too happy to oblige.

I used the colab pattern from Ravelry users sukigirl74 & Miahandcrafter.

New Jellyfish! I'll definitely be getting a reel up for this one so you can see the sparkles! I love it!! :)

Should I add a face or keep it as is??

Pattern is the by

Haven't made one in a bit but I think they'll be really cool looking in my new setup along with **more squid bags!!**

What other colors should I play with? I'm definitely doing another black and neon rainbow one. It was just such a fun color combo for this.

And it's done! This came out closer to a young teen or even child size, but I love the way the colors came together. The white is actually chameleon yarn, so it takes on some light purple speckling in the sun. I'll have to try to see if photos will do it justice when I get a chance.

Pattern is the Cold Snap Beanie by

Finished up another little Cato Dragon Snuggler while I was at the beach last weekend.

writes such great patterns and they come out of so cute!

Test ran the new setup today. Didn't lay out my tablecloth and such but wanted to get all the racks set up and tested for stability and visibility. I. Am. So. Pleased.

And this little cutie is done!

Pattern is by and I adore how it came out.

I'm far from perfect with my symmetry sewing on pieces, but I think it gives my little lovies and stuffies character.

Just about done with my first make from a pattern. Any guesses at what this little cutie will be? I've got two more pieces to make and then assembly and some final details. 😁

Stitched up this awesome bag the other night. Have to decide if I'm going to add a lining, but for now it's all done and I love how it turned out!

Blood Drip Knot Bag pattern by

Stitched up this little cutie on my lunch break today. Definitely going to have to play with some commit ideas for more of these.

Thanks to for the super cute pattern!

My latest Wild Oleander Hooded Scarf. I love the funfetti look of this yarn and the way it turned out on this piece. I didn't feel like fringe or tassels suited this piece but I may use the leftover yarn for a pair of gloves or something that would pair nicely with it. :D

I've got another of these in much softer colors and thicker yarn almost completed that I actually started before this one but haven't finished the fringe yet because I got bored. 😂 I'll get it finished up and show it off soon.

I am highly amused by the realization that my Susan Bates hook doubles as a stylus that works better than any actual stylus I've ever used. 😂

Oooo!

Totoro Number 2!!

Alright, so I hate sewing on pieces. I decided to try creating the ears and tail backwards, starting with the last row crocheted directly onto the surface off the plush and working back toward the first row, then closing them up and stuffing the tails. Other than his ears being a little further forward than I would prefer, it turned out great. Also increased the size of My little felt circles for his eyes and think they turned out much better. I was working and didn't feel like hunting down pink yarn, so he got a little gel pen blush, 😂. I'll probably touch that up with a permanent marker later.

Also have to decide if I'm going to add a touch of glue for his eyes, and might give both of them little bags later.

Anyway! He's great, I love him, there will be more!! 😆

First one! He's not perfect, but I love him. Next one will be even better. :D

Thanks for the pattern

Nikki needed a hat. So we grabbed a little yarn in Galway and now she's got a hat for the rest of the trip. : 😸

Traveling around Ireland. Happy I thought to bring one of my hats and gloves. It's so beautiful here. Out on the island of Inis Mor this morning and afternoon with a trip out to the Cliffs of Moher a bit later.

I had the pleasure of testing this pattern for . I love how it turned out. It's a great, fun pattern that creates a really unique hat. I didn't do the horns on this one because I was using a heavier weight yarn, but may add some later if kiddo demands it. Haha! Excuse my scrunched face; the sun was too bright but I wanted to catch the colors. ;)

It's done!!

Definitely took some lessons about Tunisian crochet, recognizing stitches and their construction, and the time it takes from this piece. It turned out great, though. The weight and drape of it is lovely and it'll definitely be warm and cozy. :D

Pattern is The Hot Cocoa Poncho by

It came out glorious!!

I really learned how much time Tunisian crochet takes with this project. But the fabric it created has such a nice drape and is just delightful. I'm quite pleased.

Bestie making this shawl look even better than it already was.

Sneak peek!!

I've been quiet of late due to being busy with a couple of commissions and dealing with a lot of things going on at work / home / with kiddo / etc. But I've been putting together a list of ideas for things I'll be making when I'm done with this current commission piece.

Can you guess what these are? I'm excited for how much fun they're all going to be and already have the yarn ready for at least one of them. 🤩
