After crocheting my beloved boba, I’m on a drinks rampage now! I just feel like crocheting a bunch of drinks!
This whole rampage was spurred by coming back from In n Out milkshake-less, and regretting it! Something about sweet icy beverages makes them absolutely irresistible, right? So after making boba, I HAD to move on to a strawberry milkshake…with a strawberry on top too, please!
I like the last picture. The colors are so nice! That’s what happened when I used a hot pink colored background against the light of the setting sun.
You can find the pattern for the strawberry milkshake on my etsy.
And of course, a strawberry milkshake just isn’t complete without a chocolate companion!
Chocolate milkshake got to have a more dramatic look!
Now, both of them together!
Chocolate vs. Strawberry. Who’s gonna win?!
BOBA WINS!!

…so of course I couldn’t resist making an amigurumi of one! It was a super easygoing project that didn’t require much thinking. Getting the cup part to be the right shape was a little tedious, but it turned out well. What I liked most about this was the straw. Boba straws are so fat, so it was possible to make a life-size straw (unlike the neck of the martini glass Brian Griffin holds)!
You can find the pattern for it at my etsy.
My sister is a major boba fanatic – much more so than I am. When I finished making it she was ecstatic! Yet, as it sat around for a few more days, staring at her every time she walked by, tricking her more than thrice that it was the real thing, and constantly reminding her of her boba craving…she went crazy!! Now she resorts to holding it like she would a real boba cup and slurp invisible boba out of the straw. Maybe she’s hinting that I go buy her the real thing…I guess she deserves one, especially because she helped me cut out the felt pieces and arrange them. Noo…guilt tripping myself! Ok, off to the boba store!!

What does that look like to you??
What about this??
The answers better be CAKES!! not HATS!!! So, these were some things I crocheted out of stringy thready stuff. They’re supposed to be cakes, but most everyone I’ve shown it to thinks they’re hats! The final count: 1/9 correctly identified these objects as cakes. Isn’t that sad?? Is it really that bad…
I made more, but haven’t found the time to take pictures of them. When I get around to it, I’ll post more. In the meantime, are there any suggestions I can do to make them more cake-like? I need them to be unmistakable!! No more “I thought it was a hat” business!
Each one is about 1 inch in diameter, and 3/4 inch tall. I even stuffed it with polyfil, so they’re nice and squishy! I used the smallest crochet hook possible – no idea what size that is…and some weird stringy thready thing that I don’t know what it’s called. Sigh, such is my amateur knowledge, I apologize. Most of the decorations are made of felt and random craft trimmings I found lying around my mom’s craft stash. The fruits I meticulously made out of cutting microscopic pieces of felt, gluing them together, and then sewing on lines. Lots of work for the fruit, but I think it’s worth it.
