Skull and Cones Sweater
I started on this neat Skull and Cones Sweater from alice.in.crochetland on Instagram last September thinking I’d have it ready by Halloween. Things did not go as planned and I’m just now finishing it up, but I’m pleased with my finished top!

Holo Taco Declassified Tacos Set [002]
As rumored, Cristine released another set of prototypes that didn’t make it into any other collections.
My 2024 in Books
In the second half of 2024, I got back into reading after a really long break thanks to my friends AT and SC. They’ve gotten me hooked on romance, so I thought it would be interesting to take a look at my Good Reads year in books and document it here.
Clippy Amigurumi
I decided to continue the streak of crocheting something Clippy for Jeff’s office white elephant party. Last year, I made a tapestry. This year, I found this cute Clippy amigurumi pattern from Allison Hoffman of CraftyisCool and decided I just had to make it.
Holo Taco Underglow Collection
Holo Taco’s 2024 holiday collection is based on a formula that many folks loved from a 2023 polish: the micro-shimmer in Safiya’s Spirit Fingers (later followed by Alien Infatuation in early 2024). I am included in the group of folks who found this formula really fun, so I was excited to buy this collection. The vibes are very wintery (as opposed to “holiday” colors) which I think will actually be more wearable for me. Let’s dive in!
Holo Taco Birthstone Collection
Each year, Cristine releases something special for her birthday. In the past, these releases have been a bit smaller, but this year she decided to launch the biggest collection Holo Taco has ever had - a whopping 12 polishes as the Birthstone collection.
Crochet Hydrangea
One of my friends is an excellent gardener, so I decided to try to replicate a really pretty hydrangea she has in crochet form as a birthday gift. It didn’t turn out quite the way I had hoped, but that’s what happens when I go wild free handing things. It’s still pretty cute.
