Current Project (aka I am working on several, but the newest one)
Cute as fuck, right?
The pattern comes from a Japanese yarn company known as Goyso or Perriot (Ravelry has both listed). Unfortunately their incredibly large backlog of cute crochet shit went away at some point, but it’s okay. Because The WayBack Machine has your back (that opens into a PDF page, fyi).
In the style of Japanese patterns in general, there are a few notes at the start of the pattern, and then the pattern itself is charted. If you’re not one for charts, this isn’t a good match for you.
Here’s their main ravelry page. If you like anything there, you can click the link at the bottom of their descriptions to get the old URL, then plug it into the WayBack Machine. I got a bunch of patterns by doing that, and I think I got everything I ever planned to get even having to go through the Archive.
Anyway, the original yarn is linen, but I’m using Merino Wool because I have Merino Wool in the correct weight, and I can tell you from where I am, it’s coming along nicely.
Fun fact: I made this pattern years ago when I was still very new to reading charts, and wow, is it going faster this time.
I drew this after reading an article by a self-described ‘fandom grandma’ – (I’m not linking to it because of Tumblr’s stupid rule about hiding posts with links in the tags.) But you can check out her blog and the article @spockslash. I wish I could share this with her but this will have to be my way of saying thank you.
