January 2025 Wrap-up

Leave a comment

Hello again!

I’ve decided that I’m going to use this platform as my newsletter of sorts. It didn’t really make sense to cross post everything from Ko-Fi, especially because I often forget to come back and post them in any sort of timely manner. Plus, I am planning to do a lot of things this year and I feel like taking the time to go back through everything I’ve done in the month will help me stay on track with a few of those plans.

What do I mean? Well, let’s start with the first project I’ve already gotten started on: How many things can I make to donate to Knit the Rainbow in November? I’ve explained the whole project, along with a roundup of the finished items in this Ko-Fi post, but basically I’m focusing on one pattern a month and seeing how many of that item I can make. January saw the creation of 27 “Crafting Change Wristers” by Melanie Shovelski.

A white square with rainbow colored semicircles in all four corners, trimmed out photos of blue, pink, and rainbow colored wrist warmers, and a rounded gray rectangle at the top with the words “January Charity Roundup” in black letters.

I’ve also started uploading to YouTube shorts, and am planning to start adding one full video per month. Here’s my favorite short of the month:

I also want to be better about adding finished items to my Ko-Fi shop (like the dinos featured in that short above), but I’m not sure if I want to just add as I go or do larger “drops” and gather everything for the end of the month. But as of right now there are finished items and patterns available, including some free knit, crochet, and cross stitch patterns, and more to be added in the coming weeks (like some cute little crocheted capybaras and tapirs).

That’s it for this month! If you want to get this delivered to your inbox, sign up in the sidebar. I promise these will only be once a month, so it won’t clog your inbox. If you want to follow me elsewhere, I’m most often on Bluesky, plus Ko-Fi and YouTube.

Introducing My Ko-Fi

Leave a comment

As you may already know, a few months ago, I started a Ko-Fi page for my art and fiber projects. But maybe you have never heard of Ko-Fi and don’t know what it’s about, and I haven’t written about it here, yet.

Ko-Fi is a platform for artists and basically anyone to post their work and accept monetary support. This can be through one-time donations, monthly subscriptions, or even commissions. They have even recently started offering shops where you can buy directly from creators.

On my Ko-Fi, I post artwork, finished objects, and works in progress at least a day before I post to Instagram, but often even without posting to Instagram. I even have digital download knitting patterns and some stickers available right now, with more to come, soon.

I have downloadable coloring pages and downloadable art work, some for free and some as exclusives for supporters. I also have commissions open for some things like digital art, cross stitch patterns, and crocheted key chains.

Check it out to see what I have available, and you can follow me there to get updates when I post something new.
