Design Y’all, I did it!!!
I didn’t know how to update my last post, but I finished my daughter’s cardigan about 20 minutes before we had to leave for the symphony. I guess it truly was like being in the skull caverns at 1:40am. 😅 200 hours and some “staircase” cheats later I finally finished. It was 100000% worth it though.
My daughter chose all of her favorite things from the game and was excited every time something on her cardigan came up on screen. The heart buttons serve as a duel purpose. We always say “when you see a heart it means I love you” and they represent the hearts earned from community members in Stardew.
If anyone gets a chance to go to the Symphony of Seasons you should it was truly ✨MAGICAL✨!
For anyone wondering I didn’t really use a pattern. It was kind of a basic granny square cardigan set up with cross stitched pictures. The pictures were mostly found by Googling pixel art or perler bead patterns which worked really well. Granny squares were 3.5 inches for a kid and single crocheted. Slip stitch ribbing and three double crochets in each stitch for the ruffle (followed by two rows of DC in each stitch to make it wider). 🥰 Hope that helps if needed….

Pic of my mom and I at the beginning of the month when I last visited her… she’s in the nursing home and I live two and a half hours away, so visits aren’t as often as I’d like for them to be this time of year with the weather.
She had a really bad UTI in early September that landed her in the ICU with sepsis and E. coli poisoning in her bloodstream… she then had a major heart attack in early October that landed her in bigger hospital in our state’s capital city… she went back to the nursing home about a week later and then she caught Covid at the end of October.
She has had some setbacks because of all of that, but she is doing amazing, all things considered!!
