Sketch to Crochet

Happy Thanksgiving! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!

There, I think we're all caught up. 

It's become rather unlike me to go so long without a post, and for that I do apologize.  Work gets chaotic around the holidays. (In my opinion, all sales associates should be able to dress in full football gear -- helmets, padding, the works -- to be able to fend off all the crazies. Wow, just...wow.) When I wasn't nobly defending my post at work, I spent my spare time working on some stuff for Mila.  Unfortunately for my blog, all Mila work is being kept very hush-hush.  This is fine...except that it kind of looks like I went AWOL or spent the last three months on the couch stuffing my face with pie.

Well, I'm back!

It is January in Pennsylvania and like much of the country we've been hit with several "Polar Vortexes,"  so it has been ridiculously cold.  And rather dreary and snowy at times too. Having nearly forgotten what a sunny day looks like, I came up with the idea to CROCHET THE SUN!  So I did. And here it is.


I found a tutorial on how to sketch in After Effects and thought it was the greatest idea since sliced bread, so I used my newly created sun and made a cheery little springtime short using the sketching technique.  Enjoy!
