"But someone who crochets for a hobby isn't a worthy adversary"-- Wednesday Addams
That's what she thinks when the truth is that more than half of us are actually crocheting to keep ourselves from choking people.
To be honest though, as someone whose main hobby is crocheting, I am unquestionably not worthy of being an adversary to Wednesday Addams. She'd kick my butt in 2 seconds -- I wouldn't even need piranhas!
As we approach the end of the school year, it's time to start thinking about teacher appreciation gifts! I'm not a former teacher or anything, but I see the amount of effort and work teachers put in during the school year.
While there are many gift options to choose from, there's something special about handmade gifts that can truly express your gratitude. After all, they're educating the next generation to become valuable members of society.
As a crafter and crochet enthusiast, I've put together a round-up of some of my favorite crochet projects that would make perfect gifts for teachers. So grab some yarn and a crochet hook and get started on making something special for your favorite teacher!
Remember to like Once Upon a Cheerio on Facebook. I'd also love it if you followed @onceuponacheerio on Instagram!
I love crocheting continuous rounds when I crochet amigurumi so that there is no visible seam. However, because there's no seam, it's hard to know where the start of the round is. This is where the running stitch marker comes in handy.
You can use regular stitch markers when crocheting in spiraled rounds and move them each time you start a new round, but you would only be keeping track of the beginning of the current round. If you notice a mistake a few rounds back and need to take it apart, you could easily lose your place.
Have you ever heard of Disneybounding? Disneybounding is a growing trend among Disney fans that involves dressing up in outfits inspired by their favorite Disney characters, without wearing actual costumes.
Why do people Disneybound?
This trend is particularly popular among Disney adult fans in Disney Parks because the park has a dress code that states that guests ages 14 and up are not allowed to wear costumes in the park. Disneybounding was a way for Disney adult fans to express their creativity while still adhering to the theme park's dress code.
And when you want to bring up the creativity notch one more level, let's try making our own Disneybounding pieces by crocheting them! I've been taking subtle elements of my favorite Disney characters and turning them into what I imagined would be if they were living in the real world now.
Did you know that Tamagotchis are still in production and going strong? The most popular toy from the 90s made a comeback when Pixar's Turning Red was released!
Turning Red has become one of my family's favorite movies of all time! As a Chinese Canadian kid who grew up in the 90s, this movie brought back so many memories. The moment I saw Meilin Lee (aka Mei, the main character) marching onto the screen with a Tamagotchi strapped to her backpack, I knew it was going to be good.
