They/them 🖤🩶🤍💜 Artist, crafter, writer, etc. I enjoy all forms of creative exploration. In the past I've gone by Kadrin-chan, but I'm ready to use my name now. Mainly hobbyist, right now I'm really into crocheting.
Well, it's been a while, but here's my first finished project of 2026.

Started this back in July, finally got to finish it today! Realized too late that I started with a bigger hook 😅. Candy Corn! #crochet #halloween

🤣🤣🤣 You have no idea how happy this makes me!!! Gir from Invader Zim. I still have to find a zipper for him, but this makes me so happy! #crochet Made this Lil guy without a pattern, completely freehand. 🥰🥰😁😁

Well, this is my layout, I think. Kind of expected it to be bigger, but I don't have any more leftover yarn that goes with these colors. This will be a lap blanket.

Haven't posted in a long while. Lost my Dad last month...grief sucks. To help me along, I decided to make a grief blanket. Just trying to use up some of my yarn, and a good way to keep me from going crazy. This is what I have so far.

Attempted a triangle with the granny stitch. This yarn makes me want nacho cheese, or cheez whiz. 😆 I don't think I'm skilled enough now, but this makes me want to make the leaning tower of cheez-a 😆

My attempt at a smore. Definitely didn't go the way I planned, but I don't think it came out too bad. Who doesn't like an oversized marshmallow? 😆 #crochet

Everything I crocheted for and during Pride month. Gave myself a challenge, and surprised myself with it. Had a lot of burnout in June, but I feel accomplished. #pride2025

What I have learned today, plastic tapestry needles can hold the place for eyes in crochet amigurumi 😆. Though it does look like I've skewered the head🤣.

I wanted to make some Pride art, but think I'm solely in the mood for crochet. So, my next rainbow-themed project is this dino from a Michaels crochet kit I did earlier this year. #crochet

Made a shamrock in honor of St Patrick's Day. Never crocheted with size 1 yarn/thread before, so that was different. Pattern: midwesternmoms.com/how-to-croch... #crochet

Been watching #DragonBall Daima, got excited to see Vegeta go ssj3. So here's a sketch of Lil Vegeta. Never been good with ssj hair, but this was fun to draw 😄.
