For the past few weeks, I’ve been receiving a surge of orders for white crochet cranes, and I’m so grateful for the support! ❤️ It’s been exciting to see how they connect to something truly out of this world—Droog, the zero-gravity indicator for the SpaceX Crew-10 mission.
For those who missed it, Droog is a small, white origami-style crane plushie that accompanied the astronauts on their journey, floating gracefully in microgravity as a symbol of their transition from Earth to space. The choice of a crane is both poetic and meaningful, representing peace, resilience, and hope—values that resonate deeply with space exploration. 🌌
While I’m not the original creator of Droog, I love that my crochet cranes can be a part of this story in their own way. I’ve been making them in different sizes, like small and medium, and even adding personal touches, such as embroidering “10” on each wing for those who want a special tribute to Crew-10. I’m especially grateful that they’ve found a place in the collections of space fans who appreciate the significance of this mission. 🚀 It’s always a joy to know my creations are going to people who share a passion for exploration and discovery.
If you’d like to learn more, check out my previous blog post where my crochet cranes were featured in a collectSPACE article! And if you’d love to add a white crochet crane to your own collection, you can find them on my Etsy shop here (solid color) and here (multicolor)! 😊
