I’ve been helping my daughter launch her own lotion line. So far we have come up with Body Butter and Night Eye Cream. We will be trying Lotion Bars and Lip Balm next as soon as the supplies get here. We did accomplish some fun soaps and air plant cork planters.
Let me know if you have any issues and use #drunkenauntwendy when you post so I can find it.

I am working on my Drunken Care Bears. They are super cute. I’m making a Wino Bear.
I haven’t had as much time as I like to keep up with all my idea. I think I have some crafting ADD. I can’t focus on one thing at a time. I love to do all types of crafts.
Next up, air plant cork magnets and soaps. These have an ulterior purpose as I will be selling them at the vacant space where my new bar is going. (Maybe the bar is what is taking up all my time).
Anyway, I have been focusing on female pop culture characters. You voted on Instagram for the Marvel Universe. I decided on Mystique.
I think I have finally perfected that hourglass figure typical to most comic book characters.
One of my favorite characters from the X-Men. I love Mystique. I got the beads from the Bead Chest. I think the really add to the finished doll.

I’ve been busy this year focusing on my Animals from A-Z collection and pop culture female characters. Its hard to find crochet patterns I like for the ladies. There was a vote on Instagram for a character from the Marvel Universe (Poor Buffy). I just go the supplies and finished another project so I’m really excited to get started. I hope everyone likes who I make. I’m not telling yet, watch Instagram to see.
I just recently Finished Cheetara.
This one was super fun to make. I think I made her hips a touch too big. I will see if I can fix that for when I test her. I also had trouble with making a tiny Thundercats logo. I’m still thinking of ideas to fix that. The spots ended up being easy. I just used a sharpie.
I also finished a Bad Decision Bear.
She’s a Care Bear that is all grown up. I don’t know why the idea tickled me so much. I mean what is Drunken Aunt Wendy without a drunken Care Bear. She is adapted from ahookagurumi’s Don’t Care Bear Pattern. I really enjoy her stuff. You should check it out.
Now on to the free pattern. This is Bravo. He’s a little horned monster. This pattern works up great with just about any color for the body. I’ve had a lot of luck with self striping yarn too.
I may be cute, but I’ll still eat you.
He’s super quick to make up and is really easy to personalize.
If you post him, make sure to use #drunkenauntwendy.

There are a lot of male superhero crochet patterns out there so I’m going to try to make the female ones. I’ve already done She-Hulk and I have a huge list of more Marvel Female Characters.
I’ve had a bit of free time lately, so I’ve been typing. I was on a Princess Bride kick a while back. I’ve already posted Westley. Please enjoy. Remember these patterns are not tested. Let me know if you have problems. If you post a picture please tag me or use #drunkenauntwendy. Then I can find it.

I know it has been awhile, I am trying to figure out the best way to draft patterns for you readers and to not to go broke buying all the yarn.
I wanted to do a series of animals based on the Alphabet. Believe me it was hard to find animals that fit with some of the letters. I was trying to go with different animals that are harder to find in crochet patterns.
Please enjoy. Remember, this pattern is not tested. If you find an error, please let me know. Use #drunkenauntwendy if you post on Instagram so I can find it.

Note: Entire project is worked in the round. Use a stitch marker or a scrap piece of yarn to mark the beginning of each row. Then you don’t have to count every row. Do not join unless instructed to.
Parentheses indicate a repeat. Repeat the stitches in the parentheses for the number of times indicated.
The bracketed number [] is the number of stitches at the end of each row.
I spread my increases out so there isn’t a seam on the finished piece. If you do not like this method, you can do regular increases.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at drunkenauntwendy@gmail.com.
HEAD – in Beige
The head is made by doing an oval increase. Sometime it helps to mark where your increases are going to go with a spare piece of contrasting yarn. Just note that the first row is worked on both sides of the starting chain. The face is then embroidered on before you add the hair and stuff him.

I’ve been busy making giant knitted blankets for a local store. I tried the first one with Jumbo Knitting Needles. It worked, but I felt the stitches were too tight. The second one, I used a method of hand knitting.
It gave me the look I was going for and was so much faster.
