I usually don't do these kinds of posts, but there have been a few inquiries that I feel should be addressed.
FAQs:
Can I have the pattern for _____ ?
I do not sell my patterns at this time. The only free pattern I offer is my Heart Applique.
Where can I buy ______ from you?
In my Etsy shop! If you don't see the item for sale in my shop it might be sold out, but you can always contact me through Etsy and ask to get one for yourself. Serious inquiries only please!
What does "Made to Order" mean? Why does this item say "Made to Order"?
Made to order means that I make the items when they are purchased and paid for. Make sure to read the description where I explain how long it will take for me to make the item. Remember shipping time frames will add to that time frame.
Why do your Made to Order items take so long to make?
These are all handmade items. It takes me 30 mins to an hour to make just one item, and usually it is closer to an hour. The more orders I have the longer it will take for each additional order.
Can I get a custom order? Can I request an item?
Yes! Please contact me through Etsy. Keep in mind not everything translates well to yarn. Please don't be offended if I turn your request down.
Do I have to buy this item from you on Etsy?
Yes! I only sell on Etsy, and this way I can keep everything safe for the buyer and for me, and keep myself organized.
How much do you sell _____ for?
My prices start at $10 for a single item and go up from there due to complexity of the item. For example, the Starter Set is $30 because each item o nits own is $10. This does not include shipping.
Do you ship everywhere?
Yes! Shipping starts at $3 for domestic and international. I ship from the US. Tracking is not available for international orders at this time.
If you have any questions I didn't cover here ask in the comments, or send me a convo on Etsy.

Cave's Combustible Lemons
I'd like to thank Reddit user guahan who posted my Combustible Lemons here on Reddit! I have gotten an absurd amount of traffic(4,000 visits just today), and not only have I sold out of lemons, but I got a few other things sold as well!
These lemons don't take me too long to make, so hopefully I can get them done relatively quickly. The part that takes the longest is the Aperture Science logo. I use a stencil to ensure it comes out right and is the same for every lemon, but I have to go back and make sure all the edges are correct. I am a perfectionist so I really spend time making sure the logo looks perfect.
You can order a Combustible Lemon from my Etsy shop(Geeky Cute Crochet), but for now they are made to order, and will take up to 3 weeks for me to make.
I also have necklaces for the Portal fangirl in your life.
Everyone loves the Companion Cube.

Pokemon Starter Set
I just recently released all three of the original starter Pokemon in a set in my Etsy shop.
They were selling fairly well until someone posted the picture of them on their tumblr. The last time I checked that post it had over 18,000 notes! That means people were reposting it, sharing it, and spreading it all over the internet.
Much to my surprise it ended up here on an icanhas sister site called pokememes. I don't know why the person who submitted it thinks they might be sponges, but everyone else seemed to know what amigurumi is.
This is why I haven't relisted them... TOO MANY ORDERS!!!!! I am still trying to catch up with all of the people who ordered them. I have been responding to tons of convos and crocheting non-stop to try and get these orders out! I quoted people up to 3 weeks for me to make the set for them, and though I usually can get them out faster this time I may hit the 3 week mark for some of the orders.
This is how you get an internet business going. Post your pics around the social sites and watch the wildfire spread. Let the internet take its course. This time I didn't have to do anything but rely on my fan base to spread the word.
Another great asset to me is the group pkmncollectors over at LiveJournal. I've gotten a lot of business from those people wanting custom pokemon.
I do not sell my patterns at this time. If you would like to order a Starter Set please contact me through my Etsy shop, or click here to buy the set.
