Crochet Hearthstone : when my past catches up with me

Hearthstone pattern by ahookaYou know me enough now to know I’m a bit of a geeky girl. But, even if I’m still very attached to geek culture, my real gaming time was some years ago, when I was playing World of Warcraft all days long.

From the day I created my first character, I have secretly dreamt about having this little white and blue stone that was sitting in my inventory at the time : the Hearthstone ! 

But seriously, who wouldn’t dream to have it in one’s bag? A simple stone to use each time you want to go home right away !

Thanks to crochet, I do have one now ! (and yes it DOES work, what did you think??) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Moschino and Asos had better watch out, I designed my pineapple bag too !
