Luna moth pattern on my community tab! 🩷
Hi! I'm a crocheter and crafter! (And 700 frogs in a trench coat)
I mainly post crochet, but I love media arts, sewing, embroidery, costume design, musical theater, lino printing, and lots of other silly shinanigans

~Some things I've been up to~
-Learning how to knit
-Writing my Luna moth pattern
-Learning to crochet clothes

Hello everyone! 🩷
I need some help!
After releasing my Luna moth pattern (in my community tab!) I realized that I want to have a BIG rebrand before posting again, since California Crochet doesn't suit the content I make anymore!
So the question is, what should my new brand and name be?
I have a few guidelines:
-It shouldn't just involve crochet, since I want to expand into other art forms too!
-I want it to be cute and whimsical, less of a company name and more of a nickname if that makes sense?
-I want it to be short(ish) and recognizable
I have a few ideas in mind but I want your help too!
Comment your ideas below 🩷🩷

Here is the finished(ish) pattern!
PLEASE reach out with any questions, this pattern is just my own notes while writing it, so there are probably a few confusing bits.
Questions also help me while editing my video, since I know what you need a bit of extra explanation for!

(Click for full images, and example pictures are attached at the end!)
Thank you for your support, and I'll see you soon with the tutorial 🩷

Note: YouTube won't let me add the antenna pattern (image limit) so here it is!
In a magic ring, sc x4
Sc in every stitch for as long as you want your antenna to be.
To make the curl at the top, bring the scrap yarn from the center of the magic ring through the inside of the antenna and pull slightly. This brings the magic ring down, along with the first row.

Hello everyone!
I wanted to give a long overdue update on my Luna moth pattern! Thank you to everyone who has asked for updates the last few months 🩷
While I was hoping to get it fully released on YouTube early in March, obviously it didn't work out that way πŸ˜… I have been trapped in a REALLY bad artistic burnout lately and it's been really hard for me to find motivation to crochet, make videos, or even post here on my community page. Luckily, its been slowly passing and in the next few weeks I might be able to finish the Luna moth pattern video 🀞🀞
BUT I do have a question for you guys! While the video still needs work, I have the pattern written and finished. Would you rather have me post a simple screenshot of the finished pattern into a post like this, or do you want to wait for the pattern until the video is done?
Keep in mind, I can have the screenshots out by tomorrow, but they wont have in-depth explanation for some of the complicated sewing steps. The video is very in-depth and easy to follow but it may not be done for a bit depending on how long my burnout lasts.
*If I post the screenshot, I will update it with a well-designed image with cute graphics and stuff later*
Thank you so much for your continuous support for my channel and this pattern!

🩷LUNA MOTH PATTERN UPDATE 🩷
Everything has been filmed! I am almost done editing it, I just need to record a bit more of the voiceover. It should be released by the beginning of March at the very latest! (For real this time)
Please let me know if you want me to add CC, it might delay the release date a bit but I am more than happy to add them if you need them <3
That's all for now!

(Also let me know if you want a scrapbooking tutorial, thanks for the love on that video!)

Hello everyone!
I am a bit sick right now so while I was planning on filming this weekend, I don't know how much I would be able to get done :(
I am still planning on releasing my pattern soon though so I'll try to get that done by this week 🫑

Hey guys!
Because Cap Cut has been banned (πŸ˜”) I do not have access to my videos for this week! This also includes my Luna moth pattern that I have been working on 😭
Please be patient while I try to find another software to use in the meantime!
Thanks! 🩷

Hey guys!
I know it has been a while since I've posted (oopsies) so here's another little update!
(I'm going to post an actual video with detailed updates and projects I have been working on in a day or two, so this isn't detailed) I'm finishing up writing a Luna moth pattern that I hope to release in the upcoming weeks! Once Christmas is over I will post all of the gifts I've made.
Good luck to all the crafters out there prepping holiday gifts! 🫑🫑
