February in Crafting Club

February 2nd

Today's craft is amigurumi! These adorable little dolls will come more easily to those that have experience with knitting or crocheting (luckily, the Crafting Club has done both before!) and can win over even the grumpiest club member. Probably. Cole and Ree provide all of the necessary supplies and a number of patterns for less-experienced crafters to work from.
Because Valentine's Day is coming up pretty soon, these patterns include a very cute monkey. LOOK AT HIS LITTLE FACE AND HIS LITTLE HEART. Unfortunately, Gweneth Popplestone places this adorable token down for a moment on Riley Stamper's table while preparing to leave and they get the wrong impression (or pretend to). How sweet of you, Gweneth Popplestone! ♥ ♥
Using a charm similar to the one used to animate their polymer clay creations back in September, Estella Morales-Tran teaches their amigurumi doll a little jig after finishing early. Cute! Until they turn their back for a moment and it disappears. Uh-oh. Better go find it!

February 9th

Today is a Free Day! Club members can finish up on crafts from last week, work on independent projects, or collaborate with other club members.
...Because Valentine's Day is coming up next week, though, many club members decide to work on Valentines! Cole had anticipated this and all of the paper, ribbon, lace, glitter, and the rest that anyone could want is already out. Go for it, Gooseberry! Non-club members are also welcome but please don't steal the glitter!
Quentin Youngblood, despite these reminders, walks off with a bag of pink glitter hidden under their shirt. Nothing to see here!

February 16th

Today's craft is stained-glass! Because this is one of the more challenging (and potentially dangerous) crafts the group has attempted this year, participants are instructed to pay attention and not fool around. By Mr. Oakes rather than Cole. Yikes!
Many club members do opt to participate, though, and some of the results are quite lovely! Except for [Volunteer E]'s. While made correctly, nobody can tell what it is. Mostly people are afraid to guess. Some people are not.

February 23rd

Today is a Free Day! Club members can finish up on crafts from last week, work on independent projects, or collaborate with other club members.
Reece Downing and [Volunteer G] collaborate on an ambitious [Craft of Choice] project today and the result is pretty incredible. Way to go, guys! Now they just have to decide who gets to keep this masterpiece.

MINUTIAE

Crafting Club meets every Friday in the Artificing Classroom at 4:30 PM.
The Crafting Club members list is here and basic club information is here, including a list of previously done crafts and events. Cole does not take attendance but he does know who's a member and who isn't.
Alex graciously allowed Crafting Club to copy this nifty calendar method! A calendar will be posted on the first Friday of the month to outline club activities. On occasion, standalone posts may go up if they're requested or an event is big enough but this will be the plan going forward otherwise. Thanks, Alex! ♥ Scenes can be done below as desired and events can be referenced elsewhere in the game too. Have fun~!
As always, suggestions for crafts or events can be left in the Crafting Club Dropbox or brought up to Cole IC.

Just in case you want to let everyone know what your lil' monsters made!

Predictable as ever, Madison struggles meticulously over her relatively simple bunny amigurumi. It takes her the entire session.

THIS IS SO CUTE!!! Can I get Volunteer C for Essie???

I'm glad you like~! ♥ And you got it! Godspeed, Essie.

I need to get someone who's less....... Riley in Crafting Club. BUT can Riley get B?? Wow she super deserves this cute little stuffed guy!!! Here you can have this mangled yarn knot that was her attempt.

Crafting Club is LUCKY to have Riley. I’ll add her!

...Quentin for nonclub member volunteer D? It feels like a Quentin thing

Rude, Quentin! :) I’ll add him.

THAT MONKEY IS SO CUTE I want to make it even though I hate making amigurumi

Right?? ._. I can’t craft anything and monkeys are kinda scary but it’s very cute!

Real monkeys are kinda scary, but that one is so cuuuuuuute.

I don't usually crochet amigurumi because I don't usually crochet very tight, so it's hard for me to crochet tight enough so that you can't see the stuffing through the stitches. >.<

Awwww. XD Not ideal, no...

Just because she is the only one who hasn't gotten any Riley love, Gwen for A?

You got it! :’) I hope you weren’t too attached to it, Gwen!

a little but she'll get over it

This is cute and good on you Cole for preemptively calling out Nisha on trying to steal glitter which I am reasonably sure she does every other week at this point and it's always for a different scheme

Thanks~! ♥ Aaaand he tried. For all the good it did. Shame on you little thieves! It’s almost Cole has no authority or something...

Just occurred to me that people might want to specify what their kids made/are working on for fun. Added a section! It will probably be a standalone next time whoops. :o

Reece for volunteer F? Who wants to help him make a ridiculous life-size pipecleaner animal sculpture?

OMG. I love it. I’m in my office right now and adjusting the post on my phone is scary, but I’ll update when I can! ❤️
