2/30 Nyan Cat Bowtie and a Marriage Equality Bracelet

Well. The "In thirty days" plan has gone a bit by the wayside due to an unexpected illness that left me too sick, and too zonked on meds to make anything for a good while. But I'm starting to get better and starting to make things again.

So today I made two things- the first being something that I did find on Pinterest. This adorable nyan cat bowtie from NyanPon!

Eee! Cute! 

I had just picked up my room and put all my yarn in my organized little baskets, just to rip a bunch of them out again. D:

These will get put away in another two weeks.

This was a quick little project with no real problems or complexity, it is simple colored rows with a pink and tan band around it. But it is just too cute. I will wear this next time we decide to go out and be fancy.

Last night I also was sitting around and listening to the Supreme Court hearings for marriage equality, while reading the ever more annoying and bitter Facebook arguments and decided that I needed to do something more relaxing so I went to make an equal sign bracelet. This campaign has been represented by a pink equal sign over a red background from the Human Rights Campaign.

So here you go, this was my first experience with crocheting while changing colors without stopping and restarting. I lost the tutorial that I looked at a while ago so I forgot some critical steps- like this works better in the round. But I learned my lesson about that, and will still proudly wear my bracelet as a reminder that we are all equal and all deserve equal rights.

And there we go. That is my mini soap box for the day.

Yuuup. Two mini projects to try to get me back into crafting after being sick. And maybe now I can get back into the swing of getting my life together and work on some stuff, perhaps even the commissions that I have waiting.
