Crochet Cafe Challenge #16: Ok, it’s way more than one piece but I forgot to post for a while, so here’s the complete bento box, with octopus hot dog, onigiri, hard boiled egg, edamame, and cherry tomatoes! A bit of softness and cuteness won’t go amiss rn 🥹

Crochet Cafe Challenge #15: Onigiri 🍙

Crochet Cafe Challenge #14: Octopus hot dog, with bento box. The next few pieces will gradually fill up the bento box 🍱

Crochet Cafe Challenge #13: Triple chocolate muffin! Figured out where I went wrong with the blueberry muffin, once again I skipped over some instructions 😅

After a bit of a hiatus over Christmas, Crochet Cafe Challenge #12: Pancake Stack!

Crochet Cafe Challenge #11: Latte

Crochet Cafe Challenge #10: a somewhat wonky blueberry muffit! There’s definitely somewhere in the instructions where I messed up because it’s way taller than intended but hey 😅 They can’t all turn out like the pictures!

Crochet Cafe Challenge #9: Egg benedict

Crochet Cafe Challenge #8: toast to complete this breakfast 🍳

Oh, to be a cosy snuggled up kitty on a rainy Friday afternoon

Crochet Cafe Challenge #1: Lobster ✅ Of course I had to start with the most complex pattern in the entire book (mostly because I already had tons of red yarn). He’s a bit crooked but still pretty cute if I do say so myself 🦞

As a dev, I find it all the more important to find hobbies that aren’t on a screen. I started crocheting last year. I decided my goal for the next year is to crochet literally every single thing in Lauren Espy’s Crochet Cafe. Will post updates here for accountability 🧶

Dev 1: I write my CSS from scratch so I can control how styles are done Dev 2: I use utility libs so I don't have to reinvent the wheel Dev 3: I don't care what folks do, if you're good at CSS like me, you can work with anything All three: Wow, I am better than... everyone
