I've been keeping a secret 🤫 But now I get to share - the cover, at least! About 18 months ago, I got a message in my Etsy inbox asking if I might be interested in designing for an *official* D&D crochet book. I honestly thought it was a scam, but I Googled the press and it looked.. legit? But also, life was hella chaotic at the time -- I had just accepted a new job! I was changing careers! I didn't know how crochet would even fit into my new life! -- so while I agreed to meet with the publishers, I went into that meeting fully intending to politely decline.

Well, I walked out saying yes. Good job, Claire and Zoey 🤣 Over the next few months, I designed three patterns for this book, which will finally (omg finally!) be published next March. It was a huge learning experience for me to see what goes into publishing a book like this. Book people, you have a level of patience that I have never had in my life! But now it's finally becoming real and I'm so excited and honored to say I was part of it. I got to contribute to the official library of a property that has been really meaningful to me for a long time! 🥰

More updates soon! 😁

I'm sorry, I try not to be negative but I am done with @Etsy. I am pulling my crochet patterns off the platform tonight.

A customer messaged me after buying a pattern to say she wanted a refund because the pattern doesn't make what it says. This is my most popular pattern, it certainly does! I asked if I could help her, because the pattern is thoroughly tested and highly reviewed.

She said she hadn't downloaded the pattern. My record showed she had.

Next thing I know, she opens a case against my shop, once again claiming the pattern doesn't make the pictured item. In response to the case, I supplied:
1) a photo of me creating the pattern
2) a photo of the positive reviews
3) a photo of other people's finished projects.

@Etsy ruled against me and took money out of my account to refund the customer even though their OWN POLICY is that digital items are not eligible for refunds!

Tell me why ANY creator should put their patterns on Etsy. Not only do we have to compete with all the AI slop, we then have no protections at all from people clearly trying to take advantage of us, all for the meager cost of a pattern.

Hello from.. my office? 😅 Yes, this is what most of the interior of my house looks like right now. My family of four is sleeping on mattresses on our living room floor, and the rest of our life exists between the kitchen and the combination office/dining area/playroom/storage space. There's still a long way to go, but I am really excited to move back into the Bextraordinarium with all-new space for THINGS. We now have a closet twice the size of what was there before, so I'll have better storage for yarn & eyes. We also bumped the wall back so the whole space is larger, which means I can get a nicer work table and set up some shelves to display finished items!

Thanks so much for your patience as we get through this period of disruption. I know that once I'm back in this space with all of my supplies unpacked and organized, I'll be bursting with inspiration and ready to shower you with goodies!

Hot off the hook, a snuggly pink-toed tarantula for my bff's little prince! 🥰 This pattern by @critteriffic_crochet was so easy to follow - I used the T. seladonia pattern and just skipped the color work. I decided to use @prismaticfiberandartistry Indra's Bow yarn to achieve an iridescent beetle-shine look and held it with a very, very fine pink mohair for the legs and abdomen.
