Tie-top String Bikini

Since this summer has been a deathly hot one I decided I was going to try my handy crocheting skills out on a new bathing suit. My mom laughed at the idea but then again she also laughed at the idea of a crocheted knife. Anyways this is based off a bikini I saw in a commercial on t.v. but it has been modified to fit a gothic girls dreams.

Baby Animal Hat

So my history teacher is expecting a baby reallllly soon. She has to be the greatest history teacher ever. I waited to the last minute to decide if I was going to make her something. I made my favorite english teacher a pair of baby booties from a free pattern I found online. Booties take a lot of yarn and time which sadly I didn't have. I decided the other night I was going to make her a little animal hat for her baby before she goes on maternity leave tomorrow or Tuesday. So enjoy!

Beatuiful Blue Rose

Ok so I recently got this little knitting machine. I made a hat on it and was really excited at how it looked. But it was missing something so I decided to create my own rose pattern. I've been wanting to make a rose for so long. Well anyways here is my rose....


Beautiful Blue Rose




For the curious eyes, heres a picture of my knitting machine.


Dark Fey Slouchy Hat

This hat is a dark gloomy fairy hat with lots of attitude. I put so much detail work into this I'm honestly shocked at how well it all came together lol. This hat is one of many awesome Summer Silence Designs. Enjoy!

Catch The Stars With Me Purse

Ok so I've been wanting to make a drawstring circularish looking bag. Yes that is now a word lol. I came up with the idea to put my stars on the front of it ( not an easy pattern to create). It came out fairly well for being a half- asleep crocheter. Give me your opinions on it though.

Ilaria The Zombie Princess

I'm pretty sure it's a unnatural to be this gothic. I mean how many people do you know crochet detailed dolls with blood on them? Or zombies? Or even skeleton doll couples? Not too many, huh? lol I got the idea for this doll after staring at the yarn for a while after the art teacher who I've never met accused me of looking like art during parent teacher conferences. Interesting how inspiration sneaks up on you. I dont know. Opinions please?!

Ilaria The Zombie Princess

I don't know if you can see it but, the hands on her are bloody little nubs of flesh. How creative! lol

Dream Catchers

I actually crocheted these lol. My sister has been waking up frequently throughout the weeks due to nightmares. My mom wanted to know why. So as an excuse to have her draw out her nightmares, we told her I was making her a dream catcher. I thought it'd be mean to bribe her and then not give her anything so googled how to make a dream catcher and added my awesome touch. I actaully crocheted the outside of the dreamcatcher instead of weaving it. Well enjoy!

Jack Skellington Necklaces

Ok so this isn't crocheting and is completely off point when it comes to this blog, but it is so amazing I feel the need to share. I was looking at someone elses blog one day last week and saw these really cool pieces of jewelry made by resin. Well I researched it ( im so lame lol) and decided to talk my mom into buying me some casting resin so I could make amazing goth jewelry. Well casting resin is $21.99 + some so while scoping the aisle I found transparent sculpty liquid that you bake. It was about 1/2 the price so I got it. This is the aftermath of the first trial and error. What do you think?

Tea Set

Alrighty so I've been wanting to make this for a while now but didn't think I could. I've never seen a crocheted tea set, probably because everyone else has an awesome life :( oh well lol. I decided to give this to my sister since I promised her something after my brother got Pac Man and the ghosts. Please tell me what you think.

Pac Man

Alrighty so my brother is absolutely obsessed with pac man. I have no idea why but every day it never fails he has to have a pac man picture printed and cut out in a specific way just for him. I decided I should crochet one and save some trees from his relentless annoying spells. I saw a couple pac man pictures but I wanted to make one that was my own. He's upset now because their are no ghosts to go with his pac man, but hey theres only one teenager can do lol. Enjoy!


Pac Man
Heres a ghost I made my brother so he'd shut up. It would have killed him if he didn't have a ghost to go with his Pac Man. Enjoy!

Shadow Play The Monster

Randomly inspired, this monster had many trial and errors. I used red yarn to create thin lines of dripping blood for were his eyes should have been. On his stomach is a big red eye in which he uses to see his victims. He reminded me of a shadow so I named him Shadow Play. Opinions?

Coastal Seashell Bag

Honestly speaking. this bag isn't gothic enough for my liking lol. Oh well, its still pretty impressive and amazing looking. I got the inspiration from this little purse I made when I'd first started crocheting. This looks nothing like it though. The pattern was officially summer-fied lol! Well enjoy!

Alice in Wonderland Bag

Random inspiration always seems to find me at the oddest times. I honestly don't know how I got the idea to make this bag but I must say it turned out really good. What do you think?

Catch The Stars WIth Me Star

Gothic Star SLouchy Hat

I saw this really cool hat that someone had crocheted and it hasn't been able to leave my mind. I wanted to make a similar hat but with my own made up pattern. So I made a hat with a star in the middle that was both gothic and awesomely amazing. I added a strip to it to give it some added personality. I hope everyone enjoys.


Delilah The Bunny

Last friday my best friend happened to hint at the fact that i should make a bunny pattern. She loves bunnies. If she could she'd probably marry one lol.  Well it took some time but i finally mananged to make her a bunny.


Ladies and gentleman i give you...
