My local gaming cafe, is decorating a 12' Dungeon Crawler Carl tree this year and accepting ornament donations, so obviously I had to make something worthy of the Crawl.

The pattern is free but if you make one, tag me, because I need to see your Sluggalos!

Another busy day at Vidcon, trying to finalize my crochet Griffon pattern amidst the chaos (the creator level is SO much more peaceful than downstairs), and my Thai iced tea has ears!

I am really enjoying using “kid” fabrics to make things for myself, especially at my age. I never really had a childhood so I think I will have one now.

Carl's Jug-O-Boom is an iconic weapon from the book series Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman: a DIY molotov cocktail dreamed up by an unstable, pantsless man and his cat. And now? It's a little crochet squishie you can threaten your friends with.

Made with the finest goblin moonshine, Carl’s Jug-o-boom will help clear out even the most congested dungeon. I had fun designing this on Twitch tonight.

Last month's dragon pattern was really intense, so this month I decided to go a bit simpler. This no-sew pattern is very beginner-friendly and works up easy. We are going to work up some 3D-printable accessories to embellish it as well.

My Star Wars fabric became another fun skirt. This is my favorite skirt pattern from George & Ginger - the Bonnaroo. Finished it just in time to wear it to see the Mandolorian today.

We are wrapping up the last few critters for my D&D-inspired crochet book with this month's Patreon pattern release: the Kenku!

Kenku are mysterious, clever, and just a little cursed (relatable), and this little guy belongs on every adventurer's shelf.
