I did make Derpy. He was the first plushie I ever made too!

Aww that's so cute! Do you have a picture of him uncovered?

Of course!
Naked Derpy! Lol

What a cutie! Is he knitted?

Technically yes. Loom knit (as opposed to traditional needle knit), which I find easier tbh.

derpy is even a site item now!
I mean, droopy

I feel like Trisphee is the official Derpy fanclub.
XD

Yep, besides which, Droopy doesn't have horns.
And also, little known/observed fact, Derpy's body is actually pink with a cream belly, while his head and limbs are green.

And don't forget the most obvious difference: Derpy has blue eyes, Droopy has black eyes.

Lol

Oh wow I’m impressed you were able to make a plushie out of loom knit! Loom knitting is fun :3

I've done other animals too, but dragons are my favorite.

Is it a round loom or a straight loom?

Currently for the small and medium size ones, I use a sock loom and for the large, I use the 4 corner pieces from the Martha Stewart loom kit.

Ah okay xD i just have hat looms and a scarf loom.

Do you have pics of the others you’ve made?

Theoretically you can use ANY 24 peg loom/loom with 24+ pegs, but the patterns use the e-wrap stitch, which even with a bulky yarn tends to be a bit loose on the large gauge of normal hat and scarf looms. But I'm testing a fox using 2 strands of bulky weight on a 24 peg round loom.

And of course I do! XD

These are all so cute! Love the shark/whale and the fox :3 were these patterns you followed?

Yes. A few have videos on YouTube, but you can also buy the patterns on ravelry or I found a big book of them on Amazon. All by a loom knitter who goes by the name Scarlett Royale.
She makes some cute stuff and I want to buy more of her patterns eventually.

is the bottom one supposed to be a frog? could a cactus friend be made?

Yep, that's a froggy!

And...maybe? I don't have any patterns for them and am bad at making patterns, but cacti generally have a fairly simple shape that I could probably improvise.

there are so many crafts i want to do but i especially want to make jewelry. found a seller of a bunch of cute glazed/enamel pendants that won't be strung on the plain chains i have because the hole through which the pendants are to be strung thru is too small, like a millimetre

Can you improvise with additional jump rings or pieces of wire?

jump rings sound like the way to go! i need to find sellers near me that sell gold-coloured jump rings alone, not in combination with earring hooks and so on.

you need a bigger hole |D

Im so excited that there’s so many crafters here :3

i buy from here sometimes;
https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/evol_cosm...1&_ipg=&_from=

they have single-loop jumprings that are pretty nice ^^ though i must confess i do miniatures not jewelry so i cannot exactly vouch on a stress-test

Most craft stores with decent jewelry sections should have small packs of jumprings in various sizes.
I buy all mine from theringlord.com, but just because I make things that take a lot of jumprings and I like to have many pretty colors as well. XD

...I should learn proper chainmail clothing techniques and make Derpy some armor... >.>

vaguely want to learn how to draw jewelry.

Rio Grande could also be a source for jump rings. My mother used them heavily when she made jewelry. Might even have some of their giant catalogs around, still.

I got mine from doreenbeads, but I haven't had enough free time to try them in crafts to check their quality.

Man i haven't bought jump rings in at least 8 years xD

i'm looking for mostly indian sellers, or maybe local ones- as local as possible. but all the stuff you're sharing is helpful! in giving me an idea of the variety that's out there, and what kinds could be right for the things i want to make.

It's nice that there's so many options these days :3

yes!! things that weren't available in my country before are gradually becoming available! there are perks to global capitalism xD

That's wonderful! :D I know a lot of things won't ship to other countries still, but more and more are getting there!
Where are you from? :3

yep! i want pastel goth to get here next. and gothic lolita. xD
i'm from india!

i must confess i am surprised gothic lolita isn't there yet, that is like a 20 year old fashion now haha

Oh cool! I don’t think I’ve talked to anyone from India yet :3 do you like it there?
I’m american lol

me, the one british dude:

oh cool you're british? xD

yeah. specifically english.

i despise the damn queen though, all she does is sit in a chair and accrue stolen wealth and riches that should go to the people.

eat the rich. fuck the monarchy, it's an old relic of a bygone era just like her.
