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.
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

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 😄.
